20 Men's Watches For You To Choose From

Tick tock.

Sure, smartwatches are hella cool and the Apple Watch makes for a great Christmas gift, but remember regular watches? That just tell time?

In fact, the introduction of the Apple Watch to the wearables market contributed to a deep decline in conventional watch sales, according to market research firm NPD Group. This past June, U.S. watch sales fell 14 percent to their lowest point in seven years.

Even so, retailers and experts tell The Baltimore Sun that the classic wristwatch isn’t going anywhere.

One insider with whom the paper spoke emphasized the timeless quality of time-tellers, which can be handed down through generations. Meanwhile, smartwatches, like smartphones, are often updated, replaced or upgraded after a few years with newer, shinier gadgets. 

Whether you're on the fence about Apple Watch, want to support a declining industry or just feel like adorning your wrist, here are some classic options at various price points for you to consider:

Do your research and make purchases with companies that share your high moral standards. Find your socially responsible match with the help of corporate rankings like Goodness 500. The consumer education site ranks the top 500 businesses by how much money they give to charity, the percent of their total profit donated, the diversity of their executive staff, and their non-discrimination and environmental policies.

Shop more responsibly by withdrawing support from companies who exploit cheap labor and force their employees to work under unhealthy conditions. When in doubt, seek out fair trade certified labels on your items of interest. This not only ensures your new duds were made in a sustainable work environment, but it also certifies that whoever manufactured them was paid a living wage. (credit:Britt Erlanson via Getty Images)

Thrifting is an ethical style maven’s best-kept secret. Whether you’re looking for a chic overcoat or vintage handbag, thrift and consignment shops have a seemingly limitless inventory of stylish duds. While there’s no way to guarantee your recycled finds were made under ethical labor conditions, relish in the fact that you’re keeping unwanted clothes from ending up in a local landfill.

If you’re pressed for time and want to avoid the complicated process of decoding labels, try shopping at small local boutiques. Although their prices might be a little steep, at an independent shop, you’ll likely have better access to a shopowner who can give you details on how and under what conditions their pieces were made.
