Merry Christmas to Me… This advent, you’re the one to watch

The I-guess-I’ve-got-a-bit-going-spare watch
Ok, so it’s not quite James Bond, but it’s better to go retro if you’re going cheap. The Casio digital is basically a classic and you could get one with the pennies in your pocket. Best of all, they add a pop of colour to any Crimbo party outfit – and at this price you could get a whole set! Go on, make your wrist happy! Casio Digital Yellow Watch, £17 at Asos.com
The party-on-a-budget watch
Rather bizarrely named the ‘easy reader’ this entirely white timepiece with silver casing is definitely one to be worn on the dance floor. It does have a backlight too, so you won’t be lost when you boogie those hours away on Christmas Eve. Timex are also showing us some yuletide cheer with free delivery on all orders before the new year, hurray! Timex Originals Easy Reader, £49.99 from Timex.co.uk
The looks-tacky-enough-to-be-expensive watch
Seiko famously make watches that nod towards an art deco tradition and this one is no exception. You could go with the gold ‘toned’ version, but who would do that when you can get this with its 100% gold plating for the same dollar?! For those of you that just can’t resist a bit of bling: I give you bling. With bells on. Jingle bells. Seiko Men’s 5 Automatic Watch, £65.97 on Watchshop.com
The hope-you’re-not-on-Santa’s-naughty-list watch
Michael Kors is in demand, so you really ought to snap this masculine beauty up quick. He's risen through the ranks to become a multi-award winning fashion designer, and his watch collection combines quality with cutting edge aesthetics that make the eyes water. You'll have to ask Santa really nicely for one of these bad boys, so get in on your christmas list before they're all snapped up!
Black and Rose Everest Chronograph Watch, $295 with international shipping available from Michaelkors.com
The hit-the-jackpot watch
You’d be lucky to ever get one of these in your stocking. This U-Boat reflects the company’s original dream of creating a watch that any naval professional would be proud to wear. If you’ve never seen a military timepiece before, they are the grandfather of all wristwatches. Originally adapted pocket watches with a huge face and numbers making them ideal for those in the air force, navy or trenches. This embodies that ideal and adds a few modern touches, making it one of the nicest watches available for under 5k. U-Boat Classico 45mm, £1,725 from Jurawatches.co.uk
