Damn, the Macy’s Watch Department Goes Kind of Hard

If you came of age in, oh, the last century or so, you might remember Macy’s as the place your parents took you to buy everything from underwear to electronics, with a grand art deco flagship that occupies an entire block of midtown New York City. You probably think of Macy’s as a nationwide chain of department stores or the host of a famed annual Thanksgiving Day parade. But in 2023, it’s worth thinking about for another reason entirely: its surprisingly stacked selection of killer watches.

These days, most folks are more likely to turn to Amazon for briefs and wireless headphones, but Macy’s has emerged as weirdly buzzing destination for anyone looking for a crazy-good deal on a new watch. From perennial classics like the Seiko 5 and Casio G-Shock to dressy office watches and pro-spec divers, Macy’s covers the gamut between ultra-affordable Japanese brands and some of the most respected names in Swiss horology. But with over 5,000 watches listed for sale on its site, sifting through the offerings can be a daunting task. So we did the sifting for you and pulled together 15 of the absolute best of ‘em, any of which would make a handsome addition to your wrist—with or without express shipping.
