SPLURGE - Nixon 51-30 Watch - $400 to $500

In a previous post I tackled what to wear on the wrist jewelry wise, but to me, a man really needs a good watch. Something simple, masculine, functional, and above all, appropriate for many events and situations.

Nixon is an amazing watch maker that I've posted about before. Their 51-30 model comes in a slew of different color and material combinations for both flashy and conservative customers.

Their "Gunship" model with red hands over a black face is more casual and sporty, while the "High Polish/ White Face" model is great for more dressy occasions. I'm a fan of "Black" model with steel band and black face because of its versatility, but you really can't go wrong here. With stainless steal casing, a stylish design, and an easy to read face, this is the perfect timepiece for every guy. Splurge.

SAVE - Nixon "Time Teller P" - $60

If the Tsovet was a little out of your price range, this Nixon "Time Teller P" will most definitely fit your budget. At just $60, the "Time Teller" comes in 18 different colors (so far...) and is virtually indestructible (I would know - I picked one up at Colette in Paris last summer). It's great for everyday wear, and in black, goes with almost anything. Save.

SPLURGE - TSovet Industrial Watch - $425

Need Supply Co. is one of my favorite retail sites. Their mix of high low pieces is great, so expect to see a lot from them on the site. This Tsovet watch (available in a couple different colors and styles on the site) is a great piece. Although a little pricey at $425, it comes with a three year warranty and a design with an eye towards sustainability. Plus, it is accompanied by a great looking box. Splurge.
