Note: This post was made possible by The Fifth Watches. I only support brands I know, love and actually wear, so you can be sure this review is 100% honest.

Can we get real with each other for a minute? I’ll be honest with you: I’m not really a watch guy. Yeah, I own a few, but I’m not saving up for a Rolex or anything.

This probably has something to do with the fact that most watches are too bulky for me. If you have relatively small wrists and hands, the last thing you need is some behemoth watch weighing you down.

There are many watches I’d like to wear but can’t pull off because of their size and visual weight.

Ideally, here’s what I look for in a watch:

• Clean, minimal design
• Small to medium face size
• Thin “depth” or thickness
• Affordable price
• Leather strap

It’s hard to find watches that meet all of these criteria, which is why I’m excited to introduce The Fifth Watches.

They sent over a watch from their New York Classic collection, and it’s hands-down my new favorite watch for daily wear.

But before we talk about that, you should know two things about The Fifth.

#1: They’re Really Nice People

Meet TFW team:

Funny thing happens when your blog starts gaining popularity: You get bombarded with requests for promotion.

Marketing reps come out of the woodwork. Most of them don’t even take the time to learn your name before hitting you up, asking you to help sell their products.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m flattered that companies value The Modest Man readership, and I’m thrilled that I can actually make money blogging.

But too much of this marketing outreach feels impersonal and even rude.

So it’s always refreshing to meet people like Angus – the social media guru at TFW – who wanted to chat over Skype to learn more about The Modest Man, and who offered to send over a trial watch before asking about reviews.
