Luckily, there are still hundreds of great analog watches to pick from, with everything from budget-friendly options to higher-end luxury watches. Not only that but there are some pretty great deals, too, even if you want something fancier without paying thousands of dollars, such as these watches under $1,000. We’ve gone out and collected some of our favorite deals for you below from the most popular men’s watch brands, so be sure to check out everything before taking the plunge.
