We’ve said it many times in the past, but honestly we probably can’t repeat it enough: You do not have to spend thousands of dollars to get a great watch. Sure, unlimited budgets make almost everything in life a whole lot easier, but if you’re willing to do your research and avoid the rap-lyric brand names, there are plenty of watches that anyone can be proud to wear with only three figures on the price tag. Whether you’re a new collector looking for your first “serious” watch or someone with a healthy group of watches already in rotation who’s looking to add something fun, here are five new (or new-ish) watches for under $1,000 that our editors love.
