While smartwatches have a lot of utility behind them, they don’t really have the same aura of class and excellence as an analog watch does, not to mention that you have a lot more styling options with a traditional watch. 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.

In general, Timex watches have a very predictable dial layout, featuring few surprises. That means the joy in a Timex comes from the subtle difference from one watch to the next. It also means that quality can be expected to be quite similar from Timex to Timex. You’ll also note that Timex watches are typically inexpensive compared to other brands of quality watches, yet remain fashionable.

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. In other words, they are built to withstand whatever your arm and watch are withstanding. And while they do have a tough appearance, you’ll notice right away that many G-Shock watches aren’t necessarily afraid to play with whimsical colorations that other men’s watches would shy away from. Here are a number of discounted G-Shock watches with colorations ranging from muted and mundane to otherworldly:
