It seems like metal has been the dominant material for men’s watch bands for years. Sure, leather is much less flashy, and Canvas is downright humble, but lots of men prefer the durability and that little bit of flash that comes with a stainless steel band.
You don’t have to spend a fortune to get a decent looking stainless steel band watch. Here’s a few of the best, for under $100:
The standard for inexpensive, stainless steel, Rolex Submariner inspired watches.
With a mid-sized watch face, clean links, and uni-directional bezel, this is the poor man’s Omega Seamaster.
The black subdials and Tach ring offset the white face nicely, giving it more of a sport inspired style.
The black rubber band will most surely be more of a matte finish when you pull it out of the box, but it’s a nice switch from the usual smooth rubber strap you’d see on similar sport watches.
