When it comes to surprisingly sophisticated nerd merch, Citizen watches have really raised the bar. A few weeks ago, we shared Amazon’s sale on the company’s Star Wars-themed watches. Now, Amazon is offering solid discounts on Marvel-themed timepieces. They still come with plenty of nerd credibility, but many of them are subtle enough that you could easily wear them to a formal occasion. So, next time you go hulk smash a dance floor when the wedding band plays “Brick House,” you can actually rep the Incredible Hulk at the same time.

Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Marvel Spider Man Watch in Stainless Steel $256 (was $395)

A red-and-blue Spider Man watch that's on-sale at Amazon

This is my personal favorite watch in the Citizen Marvel offerings and this is the cheapest it has been in months. The blue-and-red face has a subtle web design and a small Spider Man logo in one of the complications. It comes on a very mature stainless steel bracelet with a solid fold-over clasp and should age really nicely. The 44mm face is chunky enough to make it stand out, but not so huge that it looks ridiculous.

This is a full-on Eco-Drive watch, so it doesn’t require battery changes or winding. It draws power from light. Plus, this watch offers a 60-minute chronograph and the date. It’s an adult timepiece with a fun theme.

At a super quick glance, it evokes the red-and-blue Rolex Pepsi models, which will run you tens of thousands of dollars. For $256, we’re OK with the Citizen not actually shooting webs. For $40,000, though, the Rolex should absolutely provide some kind of super power.

If you’re not a big Spider Man fan (because you’re J. Jonah Jameson or otherwise), Citizen also has watches dedicated to other heroes. Here are some that are on sale at Amazon right now.
