With Black Friday almost upon us, there has never been a better time to shop. The event brings deals on everything from technology to beauty, but also includes watches.
I've been hard at work all through November finding the best of the early deals across a wide range of different categories. This time, I've found a stack of watches that cost less than £100 making them perfect for an impulsive treat or to gift a loved one.
T3's Top Three
- Casio G-Shock: half the price, all the style
- £10 Casio: a whole watch for the price of a London pint
- Timex Day-Date: Proof that even just a little money can talk
While you might think that spending that little won't get you anything decent, you couldn't be more wrong. There's a real charm to some of these bargain watches, which makes them a great pick even if you have a range of more costly watches at home.

Can you buy a good watch for under £100?
The answer to that question will depend on what you define as 'good' but broadly speaking, yes. There are a wide range of watches available for less than £100 which would make excellent choices.
The list above is far from exhaustive, though a lot of my usual picks are there – the Casio G-Shock range is always a plus, and brands like Timex, Braun and Fossil offer remarkable value here.
Should I buy a cheap fashion watch?
When you're perusing the deals around this time, you'll see tons and tons of watches on sale at places like Amazon. Open marketplaces can become full of products from brands you've never heard of, and should be regarded with caution and trepidation.
Fashion watches are a little different – you'll know the brand attached to it, so there's at least some hope for decent quality. At this price point, though, it's not really worth it – put your cash towards a dedicated watch brand and you should get something better value.
