Our Favorite Watches Under $1,000

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Cait Bazemore for what might be, according to some, an exercise in futility: identifying three watches (each) under $1,000 that have been released this year. With all the chatter about rising prices (and Geneva Watch Days coming up, an event not known for its orientation toward value) the team thought it would be worthwhile to identify some truly affordable watches that have come to market recently. What they’ve come up with is a good mix of some of the usual suspects, as well as some surprising newcomers.  We also have our usual cultural recommendations, including a directive from our friend Mark Cho to participate in his Ideal Watch Size survey which can be found hereand closes on Saturday evening. You can find links to our previous coverage of this survey from past years below. It’s always valuable and provides a ton of insight into our perceptions on what’s big, small, and somewhere in between.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
