Only a few days ago, I was discussing the plethora of homage watches in the marketplace. That very weekend, I came across a very cool watch at Burlington for just $14.99. Of course, the watch was from Caribbean Joe. But, the layout of the dial seems quite familiar for some odd reason. What does it remind you of?

This watch from Caribbean Joe might actually be a great bang around alternative to the Tudor Ranger. At least, the numbers and the hash marks on the dial line up at all the right places. Of course, the way a Caribbean Joe watch is used would vary quite a bit from the way you might use a Tudor Ranger. For example, if you need to swim, you might want to leave the Caribbean Joe watch in a shoe on the beach.

Unlike the Tudor Ranger, the Caribbean Joe watch does come with a sunray dial design and the ability to keep good time for a couple of years due to its quartz movement. But, in terms of brand prestige, waterproofing, case metallurgy, crystal durability, and a million other things, the Tudor Ranger is a far better watch. On the other hand, the Caribbean Joe watch comes with a hut and a palm tree right on the dial. It's a good place to go during a hard day of work. It's a tough call. Unfortunately, the Caribbean Joe watch isn't available on Amazon so you'll have to go with the Tudor Ranger here. I'm kidding. Check for Caribbean Joe watches at Boscov's or Kohl's in person or online or see if they have some of these fun watches at your local Burlington store.
