Cheap Watches: Under $50

Regina Sass
You can find a very good quality watch for under $50 and in some cases way under fifty dollars. You will not get gold and silver bands, more likely stainless steel or silver plated. The movement will be quartz, not a jeweled movement and they may be water resistant, but not waterproof. Many of theses watches are made by some of the top watch manufacturers. For instance Bulova has 5 other watch brands that they manufacture, It will not say it is a Bulova, but ti will still be made by the same people and with the same craftsmanship.

It will just not be made of the same materials. If you take a look at th watches listed here, you will see many of them are for sale way under the list price. And that is one way to get a good watch for less than market value. Go to the web sites of the manufactures, take a look at the SUGGESTED prices A watch that has a suggested price of price of $50, you may be able to get at retail for about $40 or less. Make a note of the model number and go hunting. Fifty dollars is considered cheap for a watch, at least one that will not fall apart after the first use and if you shop carefully, you can turn a cheap watch into a cheaper one, without sacrificing any quality..

This is a great watch for the guy who loves football.
