To find out how much Nathan spent on the watch, we need to calculate $$ 65\% $$ of $$ \$500 $$.

1. **Convert the percentage to a decimal**: 
   $$
   65\% = \frac{65}{100} = 0.65
   $$

2. **Multiply the total amount by the decimal**:
   $$
   \text{Cost of the watch} = 500 \times 0.65
   $$

Now, let's perform the calculation.

$$
500 \times 0.65 = 325
$$

Thus, the watch cost $$ \$325 $$.
The watch cost \$325.
