The Best Men's Momentum Watches for Under...

Some people will be particular to a specific watch brand.  And I can completely understand that.  We often become loyal to particular companies, and would prefer to remain loyal whenever possible.  So, as another series of posts for the best men's watches under blog, I will be focusing on brand while still organizing the watches into price ranges.

We are going to cover Momentum today, a company that focuses on watches for active lifestyles.  They have been in business for about 35 years now, and seem to be making durable, well priced watches, in Canada.  I like this company, they seem to be doing things right, and a lot of people have a lot of good things to say about their product.  Some owners of Momentum watches have watches that are 25 years old, and more.  They can be a sound investment for someone searching for an inexpensive, yet durable all purpose men's watch.

The best men's momentum watches
Torpedo

Case: 44.15 mm, Solid 316L Stainless Steel
Band width: 22mm, Nato Nylon
Movement: Japanese Quartz analog
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery: 371 silver oxide cell (3-5 year)

Seriously, there is good reason this watch made my 5 best men's watches under 50 dollars list.  You are getting a lot.  It is a large 44.15mm stainless steel case with the crown at the 4 o'clock position to eliminate and discomfort it may cause against the wrist at the 3 o'clock position. It has a functional dive bezel, a black face with Indiglo and a hour, minute, and second hand, along with a date window.  The Nato canvas band is easily replaceable and has a buckle style clasp.

On top of that, you get a 200M water resistance depth,  and you get this for under 50 dollars.  Now, you will not find it everywhere for under 50, you will have to search.  I found it on Amazon, but there may be other locations you can find it.  And I believe it to be a great buy for under 50 dollars.




The Best Men's Momentum Watches for Under 100 Dollars

Steelix Field Watch
Model:1M-SP74B7G
Case: 44 mm, Stainless steel
Band width: 22 mm
Movement: Japanese Quartz
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery: Silver Oxide cell (3-5 years)
Water resistance: 200 M/600

The best men's Momentum watchesThe Steelix is similar to the Torpedo, It has the same size case, it is stainless steel.  It has a crown at the 4 o'clock position The black face has large, white numbers that are coated in Indiglo, along with the hour, minute and second hand.  And the Steelix also has a date window.  This watch also made the 5 best men's watches under 100 dollars list, due to durability and company quality

The canvas band has a buckle style clasp and is a quick change style, giving you the ability to change your colors as needed.

The Steelix is a very nice looking watch, if you are looking for a field watch instead of a dive style watch.  Even though it is being called a field watch though, it has a water resistance depth of 200M.  Which is pretty impressive.

Personally I like the look of this watch over the Torpedo.  But I am also not a big fan of the look that most dive watches have, and this is a nice break to me.  And for well under 100 dollars, it looks like a really good buy to me.  I have found it for around 75 dollars on Amazon.

The best men's Momentum watches
Water resistance: 100M/330ft

The Logic SS 42 is self proclaimed to be the thinnest 100M dive watch out there.  I'm not sure if this is accurate, but let's say it is.  That being said, it is quite a nice looking watch you are getting for under 200 dollars.

The Logic SS 42 has a 42mm stainless steel case, with the crown in the 4 o'clock position.  The blue face is large with dashes at the hourly marks, and large, easy to read hour, minute and second hands.  There is also a date window.  The leather band has a buckle style clasp.

This watch has a casual dress feel to it, while still being a durable watch that can be wore in any situations.  I believe it to be a great buy at under 200 dollars.  In fact, in many cases I find it well under 200 dollars, and often even under 150 dollars.  Just with a little looking you should be able to find it as well.




The Best Men's Momentum Watches for Under 500 Dollars


Aquamatic III Rubber
The best men's momentum watches
Model: 1M-DV56B1B
Case: 43.0mm, Solid 316L Stainless Steel
Band width: 22mm, Leather
Movement: Japanese NH35 automatic
Functions: HH, MM, SS, Date
Battery: N/A
Water resistance: 300M/990ft

I don't try to hide the fact that I prefer a mechanical watch over any other watch out there.  That is probably why this watch makes my best men's Momentum watches.  It has a NH35 mechanical movement.  It is an automatic with the option to hand wind and with a hacking second.

The watch itself looks like many standard dive watches.  It has a 43mm stainless steel case with a functional dive bezel, and a guarded crown at the 3 o'clock position.  The black face utilizes large dashes to mark the hours, and the Aquamatic III has Indiglo on the markers and the hands to illuminate in the dark.  The watch also has a date window that is magnified for easy viewing.

The Aquamatic is often found for around 470 dollars.  I find it a nice buy at that price.  You are getting a awful lot of watch for under 500 dollars.  A lot of watch, in a very durable package.  It is a watch I would highly recommend for an active person who wants an automatic movement watch.




Wrap up
I hope you find this list of the best men's Momentum watches for under... useful.  I was pleasantly surprised to be able to put on a mechanical watch.  Before I started this list, I didn't even realize that Momentum made a watch with one.  It shows me that they are not cookie cutter watches.  I look forward to doing more of these brand specific lists in the near future.  I think it benefits me as much as it will my readers, here at the best men's watches for under blog
