While smartwatches are excellent for connecting you to your phone without having to constantly pull it out, they aren’t as elegant as traditional analog watches. 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.

Some of these deals will require you to use the code “Love20”.

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:

A love letter to Seigo Neckwear: Decades of a New York staple
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

There was a time when a necktie was a mandatory uniform — a daily tax levied on office workers, lawyers, and corporate ladder-climbers. For most men, tying a Windsor knot every morning felt like submitting to a small, silky oppression. But for a select few, wearing a tie was never an obligation. It was an art, a ritual, a quiet statement of personal style.

Thirty years ago, as the golden era of classic menswear began to fade, I found myself looking for a replacement for Sulka. Founded in 1895 in New York by Amos Sulka and Leon Wormser, A. Sulka & Company was once the ultimate arbiter of luxury haberdashery — legendary for its opulent silk robes, bespoke dress shirts, and, above all, its rich, heavyweight silk ties. Its clientele read like a who’s who of the twentieth century: royalty, Hollywood titans like Clark Gable and Cary Grant, statesmen like Winston Churchill. A Sulka tie was an uncompromising commitment to craft, pattern, and color. When Sulka eventually vanished from the retail landscape, it left a real void — not just a gap in the market, but a gap for men who saw neckwear as wearable art rather than corporate armor.
