It's not how much you spend on a watch; it's how you spend it. For example, the Timex T Series Vivid Color Chronograph is a great value at $150 because it has multiple functions, like a stopwatch and night light. The mechanical, self-winding Bulova Accutron Eagle Pilot is made of ultra-durable stainless steel, and the Citizen Eco-Drive Signature Grand Complication never needs a new battery. Here are some stylish watches that fit a variety of budgets.

WEB-EXTRA: ADDITIONAL WATCHES

TW STEEL: This Dutch Brand is young and hip. Modern, stylish and big at moderate prices make this brand very attractive. Both watches shown above are all stainless steel ($675, twsteel.com).

JORG GRAY: The Jorg Gray 6500 Chronograph Presidential Watch is a Commemorative Edition of the same make and model watch worn by President Barack Obama. Each Commemorative Edition watch comes with an individualized serial number and the inscription, "The 44th President of the United States Barack H. Obama," engraved on the case back. Tell me that's not totally cool!! It's fun and affordable at $325. (Barackswatch.com)

TIMEX: Multi-function watches give you great value when the name on the dial is Timex. The Road Trainer really is a digital heart rate monitor and when I tell you the price your heart rate will remain level. ($110, timex.com)
