Check out our pick of 8 of the best watches from Worn & Wound for under $500 below:
SEIKO 5 SPORTS FIELD COLLECTION | $275
An update to Seiko’s “5” lineup of watches, these new classic field watch-inspired designs deliver a lot of bang for your buck. To be a part of Seiko’s “5” lineup, a watch must include five key traits: an automatic movement, a day/date window, ample water resistance, a recessed crown, and a case and bracelet built for durability.
G-SHOCK GM2100 | $220
The G-SHOCK GM2100 borrows its design from the GA2100, but now with a metal overcoat. Each model in the GM2100 lineup is 200m water resistant, shock resistant, and comes equipped with a matching resin band. Underneath the mineral glass crystal is a hybrid analog-digital display, with lighting to provide visibility from dawn to dusk.
BERTUCCI DX3 GLOW | $85
The DX3 Plus from Bertucci boasts a 40mm fibre-reinforced polycarbonate case that also glows in the dark. Crafted from a single piece of polycarbonate, the Unibody case is lightweight and robust while removing the need for spring bars thanks to the fixed bars between the lugs. A pushdown crown at 4 o’clock does not impede wrist movement during activity while staying water-tight to 50 meters.
CASIO A100 | $74.95
Measuring 32.7mm x 40.7mm and 9.2mm thick, the A100 from Casio has a fairly small in stature, yet its sharp lines and faceted shape give it a strong presence on the wrist and distinctive style. The face is split into an upper half with a thin window showing the LCD display, and a lower half with four buttons, separated by a thin strip of case material. Beside each button is a color, tying into the function guide printed above the screen. It’s sci-fi chic in the best way possible.
HAMILTON KHAKI FIELD MECHANICAL DATE | $495
Powering the Khaki Field Mechanical from Hamilton is the H-50 Swiss-made caliber. This hand-wound movement has 17 jewels, hacking seconds, date, a frequency of 21,600 bph, and most notably, a power reserve of 80 hours. The ideal movement for this watch, it combines the nostalgia of a hand-wound movement with an extended power reserve for modern convenience.
BOLDR SUPPLY CO FIELD MEDIC CHRONOGRAPH | $299
The BOLDR Field Medic is powered by the Seiko VK64 Meca-Quartz Chronograph caliber. This Japanese-made hybrid movement mixes a mechanical chronograph mechanism with quartz time regulation, for the best of both worlds. The chronograph center-hand sweeps at 1/5th second intervals for smooth motion and all hands instantly reset.
TIMEX T80 DIGITAL | $69
The T-80 from Timex is available in classic black, all silver, all gold, white, or blue. The black model features an expanding bracelet for a clean, seamless look. The silver and gold versions have an easily adjustable classic steel bracelet for a more upscale look. The white and blue models feature a new adjustable bracelet design you can re-size without any tools
YEMA MEANGRAF | $279
Yema brings back a 1970’s racing chronograph classic with their epic Meangraf release. Yema’s rich and authentic heritage shines through with a sporty look and functional complications. The Meangraf’s retro aesthetic and user-friendly dimensions will allow you to feel what drivers on the track felt in the 1970s.
