12 Under-$100 Watches That Look So Chic

Watches are the kind of purchase we often associate with a special occasion. Maybe you were gifted your first one when you finally learned to tell time or to mark an important birthday. Maybe you finally splurged on a luxe design when you landed a dream job or earned a huge promotion at work. But truth is, watches don't have to come with all that fanfare. They're practical, make for a fun addition to anyone’s accessory game, and don’t necessarily need to cost you anywhere in the triple digits (or well above).
Be it sporty or minimal, sleek leather or a retro Casio, the 12 styles ahead prove that a chic watch can be less than $100 if you know where to look. Click on for affordable accessories that won't disappoint.
