How to Spot a Real Watch Deal Before Black Friday

Watch gift set for Black Friday deals

Every November, watch prices get slashed on paper. The trick is knowing which discounts are real and which are just a bigger number crossed out. Use this checklist before you add anything to your cart.

1. Compare the Spec Sheet, Not the Percentage

A 60% discount on an overpriced watch is still overpriced. Look at case material, movement type, strap and calendar function, then compare similar models side by side.

2. Look for Bundles

Gift sets that include extras are often the best value because the extras would cost money separately. For example, the TOMI T019 Maverick Statement Gift Set starts at $27.90, and the TOMI T071 Signature Chronicle Gift Set starts at $44.98.

3. Check the Basics

  • Quartz movement for low maintenance and accuracy
  • A clear dial that is easy to read
  • A strap you actually like, since straps are the part you touch all day

4. Know Your Budget Before You Browse

Set a ceiling first. Sales are designed to make you spend more than planned.

5. Buy for Wear, Not for the Deal

If you would not choose it at full price, a discount will not make you wear it more.
