Considering I don\u2019t keep the company of many multimillionaires, these requests are most often made by folks with regular-people budgets. Thankfully, I\u2019ve had plenty to recommend lately: In recent years, the watch market has exploded with new entry-level models that never make you feel like you\u2019re settling. If you\u2019re able to spend even close to $1,000, there are treasures out there to be found\u2014and if you\u2019re willing to go a hair over $5,000, well, the world\u2019s your oyster.
