Men's Watches In Bold Modern Styles

For many men, the type of wrist watch they wear is more of a statement of their personality than just a functional piece of jewelry. It is an accent piece that serves as an exclamation point on their style. Gone are the days when all that mattered in a watch was that it took a licking and kept on ticking. Today"s men"s watches are bold and modern with funky options available at every price point.

If you shop for watches in the under $500 category there are a wide variety of styles available, ranging from sporty and youthful to classic and elegant. One such watch is Croton"s Men's Aquamatic Quartz Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. With a round silver tone case, you have the choice of a red, black, pineapple or white face. The time markers at the hours are silver tone with Arabic numbers marking the 12:00 and 6:00. There is a date window at the number 3 and the hands function with Quartz movement. The Aquamatic also features unidirectional rotating bezel. This is function that tracks elapsed time: a popular feature with divers who use this to avoid running out of air.

On the opposite end of the watch spectrum is the Ed Hardy Midsize Spectrum Roaring Tiger Quartz Rubber Strap Watch.

For men looking for a bold yet classic watch design, the Croton Men's Flyer Dual Time Swiss Quartz Leather Strap Watch almost looks like a throwback to the old-fashioned pocket-watches of past generations.

The watch has two push and pull crowns; one at the 3:00 to control the analog hands and the other at the number 10:00 to rotate the outer dial.
