This content was produced in partnership with Armitron.

Exceptionally crafted watches, with more of a classic look and feel, are harder to come by these days than you might think. But every once in a while we find a great selection that we can’t pass up sharing. In light of the holiday shopping season, we wanted to highlight a new range of options that fit the bill — they look stunning. Armitron’s Blueprint collection features brilliantly dazzling precision timekeeping pieces, all within a see-through top that allows you to peer at its inner workings. They’re also powered by automatic movement, thanks to a self-winding mechanism that operates without a battery and utilizes kinetic energy. Honestly, you have to see the masterful craftsmanship for yourself. We’ll take a closer look at some of the Blueprint timepieces and their features below, and you can save 10% right now when you sign up for Armitron’s email or SMS updates.

One thing you’ll notice about the collection, at least right away, is that there are many different combinations and styles, enough to match your personality and interests. There are Blueprint models in all gold, dark black or gunmetal, silver, and even iridescent. Moreover, the bands are either stainless links or leather, so you can certainly find what you want. They’re all beautifully crafted, of course, with see-through designs that show off the intricate engineering inside.

The automatic movement and self-winding mechanism mean they don’t need a battery or replacements, and they’ll continue to use kinetic energy to keep the time — using your natural arm movements to generate energy. All watches through Armitron include a lifetime limited warranty as well, which offers peace of mind. It also means you won’t be afraid to wear them, which is the whole point. You will want to wear these awesome pieces anywhere and everywhere.

A great example of the brand’s craftsmanship can be seen in the delightfully understated design of the . The band material is black leather, which complements the stainless steel silver bezel and case. It also has a water-resistance rating of 165 feet, or 50 meters, which is true of the other Blueprint models.

Perhaps the most exciting part about Armitron’s timepieces is that they won’t break the bank or empty your wallet, and that’s at their regular prices. You can get an even better deal by signing up for the brand’s email and SMS updates, which will net you 10% off a purchase. Plus, because they’re already priced reasonably, they make excellent holiday gifts for friends and family. Who doesn’t like an attractive new wristwatch, let alone one that’s totally unique?

Don’t Wait Until Black Friday to Buy an Apple Watch — Shop NOW
Apple Watch Series 7 on sale for Black Friday

Are you on the lookout for Black Friday Apple Watch deals? While retailers will certainly have a lot of them out there to wonder about this season, it's also beneficial to wonder when the best time to make your Apple Watch purchase might be. The high demand for Apple products and the likelihood of supply chain constraints make waiting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales a risk. With early Black Friday sales ramping up demand and squeezing out inventory, the best time to buy your new Apple Watch may just be right now.

Apple products are always in high demand, particularly after upgraded models have been released, which we've seen recently from Apple with the release of the Apple Watch Series 7. Apple offers a nice variety of price points across its Apple Watch lineup, including the still-relevant and extremely popular Apple Watch Series 6, so there's reason to believe something will be available for you come Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but it's also important to remember the popularity of Apple products even when there isn't a sale. We've seen the Apple Watch sell out and go on backorder before Black Friday 2021, and with all of the early Black Friday Apple Watch deals out there, there's a good chance inventory doesn't last until Black Friday itself.

That's right, for over 3 decades, Promaster watches have accompanied adventurers and explorers on many thrilling journeys all over the world.

Why You Need to Buy the Apple Watch Series 6 Today

When they first arrived on the scene, smartwatches were a tough sell for most people. Why would you want a smaller version of your smartphone on your wrist? Yeah, they did some cool things, and the OG Apple Watch certainly changed the game, but for many, understandably, it's difficult to justify that purchase. Over time, they've grown more and more capable, with new features and functionality such as heart-rate tracking, built-in GPS, and so on. They're definitely more attractive now than they ever were, especially if you're a health and fitness buff.

Some of the best smartwatches, however, are not cheap, like the Apple Watch, which has become "best in class" with only a handful of worthy competitors -- there are some! When a deal drops, though, it's the perfect opportunity to nab Apple's wearable for a great price.
