Grabbing a great watch can be a tricky affair. Part of the watch-buying community just wants something that can conveniently tell the time, no phone or hands required. Yet another part of the community wants the best luxury watches, fine-tuned instruments that have complexity and style at their very center. As a result, it can be tricky to find the right price on a watch for your arm. Many people, for example, set the bar high and opt for watches under $1,000 as the deal spot. Others are just looking for a running watch that will tell them how fast their last lap was and don’t have time for that pricey stuff. Accommodating both styles of watch-hunter is, again, tricky.

To do so, however, we’re distilling down the most popular men’s watch brands and picking through their most essential deals. The result should give you that middle ground of luxury, style, and functionality that we know you crave.

There’s a secret part of the Lululemon site with steals from $9
MIRROR by Lululemon in use in living room.

While we may think of Lululemon as a place where our girlfriends and wives get their yoga pants and other athletic gear, it turns out there are some great products for men. So much so that we consider the brand one of the best for men's workout clothes. It's a heavily guarded secret. So, if this comes as a shock to you, we predict you're not alone, as Lululemon is currently hosting a "We Made Too Much" (we're reading this as inventory, not money) sale, with tons of great items for men. And the especially good news? We're seeing great items heavily discounted, with the lowest costing a mere $9.

What you should buy during the Lululemon We Made Too Much sale
One of the first things that really pop out in the Lululemon "We Made Too Much" sale is the hats. These hats are unique in a good way. While the benefits of running are many and wonderful, staying cool isn't one of them. Hats help. Hats like the High Ventilation Running Hat, suitable for men and women, are super helpful. Somewhat tent-like in appearance and designed with high airflow in mind, you'll be happy to get the once $48 hat for just $19. Lululemon's drawcord hiking caps will be enjoyed by those of us going through the best hiking trails in national parks, never about to fall off while our hands are busy grasping at trees and keeping us balanced. Most are discounted by 50% or more for these deals.
