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.

Now, to be fair, G-Shock watches are a subset of Casio watches, seen above. They’re popularity stems from their ability to withstand “shock” whether that be from water, impact, or any other source.

Fossil alternative to NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watch just $207 for Cyber Monday
Fossil's Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel collection includes a smoke, black, and gold coloration.

Cyber Monday is a great time to be BOLD. And I'm going to make some bold assumptions as I present this Cyber Monday watch deal to you. The first assumption is you're kind of in love with these gorgeous new NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watches. The second assumption is that you're not ready to pay $5,000+ for one. And the third, and final, assumption is that you'll find this trio of Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watches (now priced $207 from $295 for Cyber Monday) a suitable enough alternative, or at least one that's attractive enough at this price to go ahead and pick up. Or, I could be completely wrong, but you still like this Cyber Monday deal on an affordable watch, anyhow. It's anybody's game really. In either case, tap the button below to check out the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection while the watches are still $88 off or keep reading to see our take.

Why you should buy a watch from the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection
These 48mm watches feature gorgeous metal casings of stainless steel. The inner workings, much like the NORQAIN I compare them to, have an incomplete black dial with cutouts tucked between lines and circles, which reveal the inner workings of the watch. It's a stunning view. Of course, Fossil gives its own unmistakable touch to the format, with a bold 2, 4, 8, 10 numeration, thick hands, "FOSSIL" bolded painted at 3 o'clock, and both "30" and "60" chiseled into the casing.

I have this Jacket Maker suede jacket and it’s so cozy — 20% off for Black Friday
The Jacket Maker the Aaron leather bomber jacket worn outside

I'll admit, in sunny and warm Florida I don't need thicker jackets very often. But when it gets cold here, believe it or not, it can get cold. Before you criticize my commentary, know that I am from New England, so I know real cold. I digress. The point is, I don't get to stretch my stylish jacket chops often. But I do travel every year to spend time with family and so I still need warm, winter-friendly jackets for that, and for the month or two when it's cold in my home state. That means I need a versatile jacket I can wear in many types of weather. Cue the leather jacket, or more specifically The Jacket Maker's leather jackets. There's a reason they landed a spot on our list of the best leather jackets for men.

Regardless, right now, they're offering a flat 20% off all jackets with free shipping and extended exchange options -- if you're not happy. There are a few jackets available, and they all look snazzy, but the one I settled on is the . Normally $395, it's down to $316 with the Black Friday sale saving you $79. To me, this jacket is worth the cost, and the presentation of the shipment was just incredible. Let's discuss.
