The 10 best watches you can give for under $1,000 this holiday season

A step above Timex's range is Seiko. The Seiko 5 is one of the best deals in watches, period. Pictured here is the stainless steel dress version, but it also comes in a military-inspired face option as well.

Price: $71

It won't win any awards for precise timekeeping, but the Daniel Wellington is a reasonably priced watch that's sure to impress as a gift. It looks a lot more expensive than its $90 price point and comes with an endless variety of straps and face variations.

Price: $90

Skagen watches are known for their sleek, ultra-slim profile. The minimalist face is broken only by a sub-second movement.

Price: $165

The Mondaine Helvetica takes its cues from the most important font in the world, creating a handsome, understated gift for the design snob in your life

Price: $264

The Hamilton Khaki doesn't just sound tough — it is. The face is covered with sapphire crystal, making it virtually scratch-proof.

Price: $390

It doesn't get more minimalist than Uniform Wares. Without even a brand logo on the face, the M40 Date completely steals the show.

Price: $600

If Filson's watches look familiar, it's because they're made by fellow American brand Shinola. The collaboration, however, still puts the Filson spin on it, by making it tough as nails with the signature rugged Filson aesthetic. The Scout Watch was inspired by 1930s aviation.

Price: $700

Detroit-based Shinola has been getting a lot of attention lately. Looking at the Shinola Runwell, with its fancy Moon Phase complication, it's really easy to see why.

Price: $850

Though Sekford is a newer British brand, you'd never know it. Their aesthetic is deeply rooted in tradition, especially the Type 1 model, which was inspired by vintage pocket watches.

Price: £695 ($1,035 at the current exchange rate)
