Formal Affair
You don't have to wear a dress watch when you play golf like Phil Mickelson, but it's nice to have one for formal occasions. I recommend you start with a simple, elegant face and pair it with a black strap. Choose quality over something trendy. It's not an insignificant investment, so chances are you'll have this watch for a long time. Here are nine from $995 to $26,000.
