Cyber Monday Deal — Fossil

Cyber Monday is a great time to be BOLD. And I’m going to make some bold assumptions as I present this Cyber Monday watch deal to you. The first assumption is you’re kind of in love with these gorgeous new NORQAIN Wild One Skeleton watches. The second assumption is that you’re not ready to pay $5,000+ for one. And the third, and final, assumption is that you’ll find this trio of Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watches (now priced $207 from $295 for Cyber Monday) a suitable enough alternative, or at least one that’s attractive enough at this price to go ahead and pick up. Or, I could be completely wrong, but you still like this Cyber Monday deal on an affordable watch, anyhow. It’s anybody’s game really. In either case, tap the button below to check out the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection while the watches are still $88 off or keep reading to see our take.

Why you should buy a watch from the Fossil Bronson Automatic Stainless Steel watch collection

These 48mm watches feature gorgeous metal casings of stainless steel. The inner workings, much like the NORQAIN I compare them to, have an incomplete black dial with cutouts tucked between lines and circles, which reveal the inner workings of the watch. It’s a stunning view. Of course, Fossil gives its own unmistakable touch to the format, with a bold 2, 4, 8, 10 numeration, thick hands, “FOSSIL” bolded painted at 3 o’clock, and both “30” and “60” chiseled into the casing.

Still, if you look at the colorations (smoke, black, and gold), you’ll likely see something that marks these watches as being of a higher caliber than what the price tag suggests. And since this is a deal, you’d be 100% right, but even during normal times, you can’t help but wonder if Fossil could ask for more than $300 for one of these watches.

If you’re interested and want one of these Fossil watches for just $207 instead of $295, just tap the button below. That’s a savings of 30% or $88, depending on how you prefer to think about it. And, while you’re thinking about smaller objects, go ahead and check out our Cyber Monday stocking stuffer guide. Finally, if you were truly as enamored as I am with these watches, check out our collection of the best Fossil watches for more shopping inspiration from a classic brand.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection

CAT Apparel has been the go-to for the hardest working people for 100 years, now they celebrate it

CAT Centennial navy tee

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring

Get creative with your polos with Wax London

Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces

The spring collection for UNTUCKit is stocked with seasonal pieces

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
