NYC places for starter watches and suits
Hello friends! Hope y'all are doing well today.
I will be in New York City for a few days soon, and I wanted to spend time in brick-and-mortar stores that sell watches and suits. I want to start cycling in analog sport or diver watches and formal clothing in my wardrobe, and before buying items online I want to see in stores some examples so I know what to expect. Since I'll be in New York City I thought it would be a good place to see high-quality examples of these items.
My budget is about $500 in total, and I'm not necessarily expecting to buy anything. I'm looking to window shop and ask questions, and if there's a great opportunity that fits my needs I can buy.

$500 is tough for a brick-and-mortar retailer selling suits worth buying. Suitsupply perennials start at $500.
The armoury has a few stores in nyc
You could swing by gentlemen's resale. It's small but they specialise in secondhand suits
Armory is nice but 500$ won't get you far there.
Or look online. Lamarche and andreaseoul sell ring jacket, or made by ring jacket, around 500-1000
But $500 wont get u a good suits in nyc
Just go to SoHo. Seriously.
It's like a giant shopping mall with hot dog carts
They have everything there, Suit and Watch options galore
I think the Suit Supply there is like 4 stories
Proper Cloth is there too, you can get fitted in person to buy stuff later. Watches of Switzerland etc. Tough on a 500 budget though
Thank you, I'll go to SoHo for sure!
Thank you all for recommending the Armoury
Went there today, they have amazing quality in so many sizes, thank you
great! yeah it's a good lowkey spot. not a lot of short small sizes so I never have luck but I always see a ton of good basic suits for (imo) a pretty decent price.
