Buying a new watch can feel a bit like entering a new and rather daunting country, complete with its own language, history, and culture. As you wander this new terrain, unsure of which of the best watches for men are worth your attention, you may need some pointers. We’re here to give them.
If you’re just starting out as an amateur watch collector, there are five different men’s timepiece categories you should build your collection around:
- A dress watch – to complement black tie or other formal attire. Typically understated and elegant.
- A dive watch – to enhance your dive missions with practical and sometimes life-saving functions.
- A smartwatch – like your smartphone but wearable.
- A pilot watch (aviator watch) – originally for commercial or fighter pilots and a great choice for travellers.
- A tactical watch or a field watch – durable and high-functioning. Tactical watches are heavy-duty and serious. Field watches have a slightly retro aesthetic.
- Bonus: a racing watch (chronograph), a digital watch, or a pocket watch to complete your collection. All great options for men but not necessary essentials.
To make your search simpler, we’ve picked out best-selling men’s watches for every taste, mood, and budget. From high-end big-ticket timepieces from the world’s top luxury watch brands (does a Rolex tickle your fancy, perchance?) to practical purpose-built watches full of useful functions and features, we’ve got a timekeeper for you.
Pssst. We also have a round-up of the best watches for women if you need inspiration for a memorable gift or something for yourself.
