While the best Black Friday deals have already been floating around for about a month, we're now at crunch time. With the 'official' sales event happening this weekend, all manner of killer deals are available.
You might think that snagging one of the best watches isn't possible. Fortunately, that's not the case! I've been hunting for the best deals on watches for years, across sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon Prime Day.
I've trawled through all kinds of deals from a range of our preferred sellers, to snag the absolute best deals for you. If it's on this list, be assured that it is worth buying. It's also worth snapping up quickly, though. In the few weeks that I've been tracking these deals, I've already seen a range of unbelievable deals sell out, or revert back to full price. So, if you see something you like, it's worth pulling the trigger ASAP.
Also, if you're hunting for something on an even tighter budget, check out my guide to the best watch deals under £100.
Best Black Friday watches under £500: Top picks
- Citizen dive watch just £169
- Bargain Seiko Cocktail Time now 1/3 off
- Casio G-Shock for less than £75
- Citizen Tsuyosa 20% off
- Limited edition Seiko Chronograph under £500
- Bargain Certina with Rolex vibes
Best Black Friday Chronograph deals under £500
This is a killer watch. The Seiko Speedtimer range is widely regarded as one of the best cheap chronographs on the market, and it's now even cheaper! Run, don't walk.
I don't know if anything irks me more than this 38mm watch being called a "Ladies watch", but it's still gorgeous enough to make the list. Okay, there's no prizes for guessing the inspiration here, but it's a stylish piece and a healthy discount.
Best Black Friday Dive watch deals under £500
Love it or hate it, the Seiko Prospex Khaki Turtle is a cult classic dive watch. You wouldn't have snagged one for less than £500 before the sales, so go quick if you want one!
What a bargain! Just £169 for this watch is absurdly good value. Complete with an impressive Eco-Drive movement, this is a deal you won't want to miss.
Bulova enjoy a great reputation in the watch industry, and it's not hard to see why with piece like this. Stylish looks, a killer movement with a 262KHz beat rate and now a great price to boot.
If you fancy a simple dive watch from a respected brand, this Tissot is a classy pick. Save a cool 15% on it, too – that's a killer price for this watch.
Citizen make some absolutely wonderful watches, and this Promaster Diver is no different. The combination of a cream dial and a blue rubber band won't be for everyone, but you could certainly do a lot worse.
Best Black Friday Field watch deals under £500
It's not often you see a gold-toned field watch, but there's no denying it suits the colour palette on this watch.
You'll need to use code EXTRA20 to get this under the £500 mark, but it's so worthwhile. That's a lot of watch for just over £400!
Best Black Friday GMT watch deals under £500
As affordable GMTs go, this Seiko range is right up there with the best of them. It's an unusual combination with the black dial, gold-toned accents and brown strap, but it's certainly a stylish pick.
Best Black Friday Dress watch deals under £500
The Seiko Cocktail Time range is iconic for a reason. They already offer killer value for money, but snagging one with an added £129 saving makes this an absolute no brainer.
For whatever reason, pocket watches are bang on trend right now. This gold-toned unit from Tissot is just dripping with retro charm, and bags an £80 saving.
Best Black Friday Sports watch deals under £500
Better than half price on a cool, gold-toned Citizen? Yeah, that's a certified bargain. No notes, simply wear it and do your best Scarface impression at every opportunity.
This is a killer, vintage inspired watch with actual heritage – and it's under £250! Bargain.
The Citizen Tsuyosa is one of the most popular watches on the market right now, and it's not hard to see why. Classy styling, solid movement and a great price. This is undoubtedly the best colour, too.
Use code BF15 to get a great deal on this gold-toned Tissot PRX. It's a modern icon for a reason, and this one is perfect for all of your Tony Soprano cosplaying.
With a further discount taking it under the £400 mark, this automatic Certina is a wonderful alternative to the Rolex Explorer on a budget.
One of the most hyped up watches in recent times, this is a solid price. £240 snags you a killer sports watch with a trendy dial. What more could you want?
Best Black Friday Quirky watch deals under £500
I can't say I ever truly 'got' the PRX Digital, but it's certainly a lot more appealing at this price point. It would be a cool gold watch for any collection.
The one I'd pick. If you're going to wear a G-Shock, make it one in a bright pink hue. Just brilliant.
The iconic G-Shock 2100 deserves to be celebrated. Here, in a one tone blue finish, you'll be the stylish kid on the block.
What's better than any old G-Shock? A cool limited edition G-Shock! This comes in a neat silvery finish, and is a bargain at less than £80.
You'll look at this watch and either think it's a monstrosity, or a mark of genius. If you're the latter, this is a killer price. Not one for the feint-hearted or slim-wristed...
Best Black Friday watch buying advice
While Black Friday is an amazing time for snagging a bargain and saving some cash, it's not always plain sailing. The sheer volume of discounts on offer can be overwhelming, and that coupled with not-always-honest discounts can make things feel like a better deal than they really are.
