With the festive season wrapping up for another year, many of us will be turning our attention to the sales to snap up another bargain or two. Those deals first cropped up before Christmas, and have continued to expand since then.
As T3's in-house watch expert, I've turned my hand to a familiar setting – the best deals on watches under £500. That's often a goldmine, with everything from sub-£100 G-Shock's to watches sneaking under the £500 mark for the first time.
Let's dive in and take a closer look at my hand picked suite of bargains.

FAQs
What day do Boxing Day sales start?
While you'd be forgiven for thinking that the start day for the Boxing Day sales is fairly obvious, you'd be wrong. While many of the in-store bargains started on the 26th of December, online sales have been ongoing for much longer, with some even starting the week before Christmas.
The end date of the sales is much less defined. In the past, we've seen these events drag on towards the end of January, and there's every chance they could do again here. One thing to note, though, it that these sales tend to include more end of line products, so when they're gone, they might not come back.
Do watches go on sale in the January sales?
If it wasn't already clear, yes! You'll often find great deals on watches in the January sales, allowing you to pick up a cool new piece for even less.
The discounts can often be as good, or even better than, Black Friday, with a range of top brands offering cut-price deals. That makes it the perfect time for watch lovers to do their shopping.
