Cuff watches are a difficult thing to pull off well. On one hand, they’re super durable and can be more comfortable than a normal watch because the leather insulates your wrist from the watch back. On the other, if they’re not executed perfectly you end up looking like you never grew out of your goth phase. Fortunately, this isn’t an issue with the new Fossil Chronograph Black Dial Cuff Watch because it’s the perfect combination of cold black steel and rugged brown leather. There’s a 47mm oversized case in black, paired to a wide brown leather strap. It’s got 5ATM water resistance and an unheard of 11 year limited warranty. It’s rugged, yet stylish. It’s sophisticated, but manly. It’s Daniel Craig as James Bond. It’s Bear Grylls in a suit. Basically, it’s everything you want in a watch, except the mortgage payment price tag.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
