The 8 Best Labor Day Watch Deals on Amazon

Coming in at under $230 is a cool blue Citizen chronograph, powered by Citizen's signature Eco-Drive, which means it's powered by natural and artificial light. At that price, this is basically a steal.

Part of Citizen's sporty Weekender line, this slick chronograph comes with complications like a 1/5 second timer measuring up to 60 minutes, a 24-hour sub dial, and a nifty date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. All things you might need on any given weekend. (Hence, "Weekender.") The matching navy blue leather strap is a nice touch that helps sell the racing heritage inherent to all chronographs, but a piece can and will look great on anything.

Just because summer is over doesn't mean it's the end of weddings. This dressy quartz from Bulova can accompany you to that October wedding you totally remembered to RSVP to. With a gorgeous silver sundial face with immaculate black Roman numerals, this no-nonsense, no-frills piece will lend you some class as you shuffle to "Party Rock Anthem" at the reception.

For under $50, this outdoorsy piece from Timex is the sidekick for all your autumn adventures, from pumpkin picking to brewery bar crawls. Ostensibly a field watch, the Timex Expedition Scout is a rugged quartz whose design principles trace back to military operations during World War I. While you might not be prowling the trenches of the Western Front, it's comforting to know that your watch can withstand wear and tear. With a luminous backlight and a single date complication at 3 o'clock, this watch is practically built for the longer nights ahead.

Chronographs have their origins in 19th century astronomy, but they thrived in the world of racing—first with horses, then the sexy, roaring engines of automobiles. With the Sport Tourer Chronograph, Fossil pays homage to racing's seminal role in horology. Along with a tachymeter around the dial and an ultra-accurate Japanese quartz battery, the high-contrast visibility ensures legibility even if you're going a hundred miles per hour. A perforated leather strap is the final touch to feed your need for speed.

Fossil has an array of colors on sale, but might we recommend this delicious variant in Coca-Cola red? In a sea of black, white, and blue dials, this one will turn heads.

When it comes to value and quality, Citizen's Eco-Drive Weekender line is undefeated. This sports watch from the collection is masculine and minimalist, with just a date complication at 3 o'clock and nothing else to busy up the black dial. Enlarged 3-6-9-60 (baffling, but okay) numerals make it easy to read at a glance. This watch comes with a nifty polyurethane rubber strap, which have the look of a sports car's wheel on your wist. Coming it at under $190, this is the phrase "Hell yeah, brother" in watch form.

Over a decade after the company's launch, MVMT remains divisive in the watch world; in an industry built on heritage and craft, MVMT disrupted everything with the aggression of a millennial tech start-up. In spite of its detractors, MVMT is still here, due in large part to younger buyers allergic to the prohibitive price tags and stuffy old world atmospherics of legacy watchmakers.

If the air of legacy brands is not appealing for you, then MVMT has what you're after. On sale now is MVMT's ninja black Chrono II, a quartz chronograph. Favoring cleanliness above all, the Chrono II comes with luminous hands, sharp-angled lugs, and applied silver indices that give off the vibe of sword metal. The whole thing comes packed in a design that pays homage to coastal brutalist architecture—an eye-catcher to would-be watch guys who haven't figured out their own taste yet.

American watchmaker Timex has its own take on the do-it-all weekend watch, and up for sale on Amazon is Timex's 38mm Weekender in a stone gray dial. It's nothing but the time with this quartz-powered piece, with a complication-free dial that provides 1-12 hours in Arabic numerals plus a 24-hour dial in a smaller font. A gray and orange nylon slip-thru strap lends some style, but you can easily swap out for something else if orange isn't your color. Simple doesn't have to be boring, and Timex proves it.

A dive watch with 200m water resistance, automative movement, and a date complication, all under $70? Count us in. From Invicta comes the Pro Diver Coin-Edge Automatic, which packs an inexpensive and easily replaceable Seiko NH35A movement in a package deeply reminiscent of Rolex's iconic Submariner. For a fraction of the cost of a Rolex, Invicta scratches that itch while being something you'd be way less precious about keeping intact.
