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.

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:
