When you reach out your hand to shake that of a new acquaintance, the first thing they will notice is a gorgeous timepiece or lack thereof (Unless, of course, your fingernail hygiene is horrendous). However, you don’t need to drop an entire paycheck (or two… or three) on a device that tells you the same information you can find as soon as you unlock your phone.
Below are five watches highly discounted by Nigel O’Hara so you can impress the girl and still have money to buy her a drink.
Rotary Men’s Les Originales Automatic Bracelet Watch
- Sleek style and sophistication.
- This watch will make you look like Patrick Bateman when you’re schmoozing with the executives at work. Just be sure you have a business card to match and try not to get too homicidal. This one is a lady-killer.
- Price: $430
Roamer Men’s Rotodate Bracelet Watch
- Elegant and slimming.
- This is truly a dressy piece. Wear it with your best skinny Justin Timberlake style suit and watch the ladies swoon. They’ll be smitten in no time.
- Price: $489
Zeppelin Men’s LZ 127 Automatic Brown Dial Watch
- Rugged and utilitarian.
- No need to tell time by the angle of the sun when you’re out conquering that rock formation. This rugged piece’s rubber band will fit comfortably on your wrist all the way to the top.
- Price: $246
Festina Mens Chronograph Black Leather Strap Watch
- Affordable and professional.
- You’ve got to start somewhere. This watch will help you get out of that somewhere and move up the office food chain. This Festina piece provides the style and character you need to leave an impression.
- Price: $175
Roamer Men’s Rotodate Bracelet Watch
- Classic and reserved.
- This piece is my personal favorite. It goes well with any professional outfit and shows that you think about style but don’t feel the need to draw everyone’s attention. It’s attractive white face is flattering but does not distract.
- Price: $452
Don’t you think it is about time for you to upgrade or buy your first watch? A good time piece is an investment. It’s like a tool that a gentleman can use to increase influence and can even be a talking point. Maybe you will even mention how many horrible time-related puns were in the article that convinced you to buy it. Who knows?

Surely the Festina is a quartz?
