You won’t normally come across a luxury watch for under $400. However, Citizen and Tissot are two of our favorite brands that consistently put out high quality time pieces at a fraction of the cost you’d expect to pay.
Citizen Men’s World Perpetual A-T Watch
Citizen claims this to be one of the most accurate watches in the world, and while we can’t say too much about its accuracy, we do know it is one of the classiest we’ve seen for the price. The A-T watch features a perpetual calendar, stainless steel case, non-reflective sapphire glass, and 200 meter (660 feet) water resistance. As a cool feature, it automatically offers the time in 26 parts of the world, using radio-controlled atomic signals, which ensure accuracy and perfection.

Tissot Men’s T-Sport Watch
Here’s a piece of eye candy for your arm, and you won’t have to buy it dinner or Junior Mints at the movie theater. Just a one-time investment, and you’ll receive a stainless steel case, a black silicone rubber strap, tachyometer, chronograph, quartz movement, and it is water resistant for up to 100 meters (330 feet). The face of the Tisso (Tee-Soh) T-Sport is made of scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and a butterfly clasp with push button release. Most importantly, it looks like a million bucks (well, more like one-thousand), and will cost you a fraction of that at $315.

Tissot T-Trend Couturier Black Dial Chronograph Mens Watch
One of our favorite styles of watches is the triple chronograph face. Why? Well, it just makes you look more important. The Swiss-made Tissot T-Trend features everything most guys want in a watch, including a good size (41 mm), black croco-embossed leather strap, sapphire crystal face (no scratches), skeleton case back, water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet), and is a great value at $340. It also has a solid feel on your wrist, and a classic style that will look great dressed either up or down.

It is true that one-thousand dollars can buy you a great watch. However, with the money you’ll save on any of these beauties, you could invest it in… I don’t know, maybe another watch.
