Is your wrist cold? 

Most of us probably can’t afford a Rolex, and even if you could, would you dish out the bucks? 10K + for a time-telling bracelet seems like overkill. However, the right wrist-watch can signal status, style, and prove to be a subtle flex. There are plenty of affordable, and high-quality options which won’t break the bank.

It may take you a paycheck or two, but these are some the best watches for under $400, according to GQ.   

 

Swatch Blueway

$51

Blue is the new black — you heard it here first.

 

The Braun

$95

A classic, safe bet.

Breda “Vigil”

$100

For the bolder type; this shit makes a statement.

 

Seiko 5

$153

 

For the traditionalists whose wallet can’t keep up with their taste, this one is sure to impress at whichever finance or law firm you work for.

 

Apple Watch Series 3

$199

The Apple Watch is virtually uniform for the tech industry, better not be caught without it, especially if you live in San Francisco.

 

Casio A168WG-9

$39

Real men rock yellow — it’s science.

 

Seiko SUP880

$91

Grandfather drip.

 

MoMa Blend

$175

What time is it? No idea, this is just a flex.

 

Uniform Wares M37

While this flirts with the budget line, the M37 is understated, flexible, and can match any look. Simple never goes out of style.
