Looking for Good Mans Watch

Out 10th Anniversary is coming up soon and I want to give my husband a nice watch. What brand should I be looking at? I'm willing to pay a little extra (not thousands) to buy a quality watch that he can wear for special events and nights out with me. Should I go to a department store, jewelry store or watch store? Any ideas are helpful.
Thank you.

Hi M.,
I buy most of my watches at Macys or Fortunoff. They have good quality and good brands and a big variety. When I got married I bought my husband a Coach Watch for about $400. I was told that it was made by Movado. It's really nice but not as expensive as an actual Movado.

Happy Anniversary. Good luck!

Hi M.,
Unfortunatly, my husband is a watch fanatic. He thinks its his jewelry. We have found the best deals at Costco for less than $200. He has gotten some really nice brands such as Invicta for around $90. There are some nice Casio styles out there now as well. Hope this helps and wish you luck!

Evicta...awesome manly watches...my dad owns many! JC Penney carries a great selection!

Tag makes a nice man's watch in different styles. Here is a link I googled with a few examples ~ completely unfamiliar with the website so no reference there.

I think the black face is a little more low key, but they carry many different styles.

Have fun shopping!

I would definately go for the "Omega Seamaster". There are many different styles and looks, so check them all out. It is a manly mans watch and without going to a Rolex an amazing watch. I think I have seen it at Costco once or twice. I got my husband one and didn't even know my brother happened to have the same one. People comment on it all the time, everyone has a Tag. I would not go retail. Hunt online for the best deal.
My husband has had his for 8 years and he has only changed the battery one time, it has been snorkeling, swimming and crazy abused and is still in great shape!
Here is a good sale on a basic looking one:

Here is the midsize James Bond one (the most famous one)

This site makes them easy to see:

My husband liked his swiss army. I always like kenneth cole brand.

Tag-Heuer watches are nice. I think they are in the $500-600 range.

hey, if you live anywhere close to escondido, there is a great little watch store next door to Major Market. check em out. reasonable prices.

Go to www.blingdaily.com. They have high end watches and always offer a huge discount. Only problem is they only offer one watch a day, so you may have to visit the site everyday til the one you want shows up.

http://www.shnoop.com/ also has great deals... but it's a "deal a day" type site also. Right now, there's an Accutron watch that normally goes for $595, on sale for $99. My husband bought me an Invicta watch from there, and it was normally $999 for $80. Huge savings.

Hope this helps!

I would check out the selection of watches at Costco and at Costco.com. Plus, their return policy is very liberal. Happy Anniversary.
