What’s the Best Men’s Watch?

The best men’s watch fits your style and tells the time (obviously important). Whether you flex a tricked-out chronograph watch or a classic aviator designed to look fly, the watch you choose says a lot about you and defines your style.

Crafted to the highest quality with sapphire crystal glass and surgical-grade stainless steel, you can trust that the watch you choose will do more than just look good – it’ll be reliable with top-of-the-line movement, accurate complications and watch straps with quick-release pins.

Explore our pocket watches or men’s leather watches that are always in style. Or check out skeleton watches with automatic movement for a unique men’s watch.

Whatever watch catches your eye, add a personalised engraving or swap out the interchangeable straps for a one-of-a-kind custom watch without paying designer watch prices.

Whatever you’re after, find out in our comprehensive guide to men’s watches and style.

Wrist Watches for Men

Men’s wristwatches are (you guessed it) worn on the wrist. It seems obvious now, but it was a big shift from pocket watches back in the day. Read more about the story of pocket watches here.

Wrist watches come in many different styles such as field watches, chronographs, aviator watches, dress watches, sports watches and digital watches. And with watch strap materials such as leather, nylon, rubber and stainless steel.

We use stainless steel to construct the cases of most of our wristwatches. This strong metal makes each watch resistant to corrosion, discolouring and tarnishing.

And with colours like black, silver or gold, you can have the look of a men’s gold watch without the matching price tag.

Pocket Watches

Men’s pocket watches are classic timepieces that have survived the passing of trends. Always stylish, never outdated, pocket watches are an essential piece of kit for any man.

Our selection of pocket watches includes hard-wearing materials like 316L stainless steel and scratch-resistant sapphire glass, design features like skeleton dials, automatic and quartz movement, and a range of pocket watch chains.

Skeleton Watches for Men

A men’s skeleton watch strips away the face of the watch and gives you a front-row seat to the movement. Most skeleton watches for men include manual or mechanical movement.

If self-winding doesn't sound like fun, check out the range of skeleton watches with automatic movement. Every move you make creates timekeeping power.

What Does ATM Mean on a Watch?

Every watch comes with a water-resistance rating marked on the case back (or dial). This level of water-resistance is written in ATM (atmospheric pressure).



- 1 ATM / 10 meters – This watch can handle a drizzle.
- 3 ATM / 30 meters – This timepiece can easily cope with rain and splashes of water.
- 5 ATM / 50 meters – This watch is safe to wear in the shower or during a short swim in shallow water.
- 10 ATM / 100 meters – This watch is water-resistant except for deep diving.
- 20 ATM / 200meters – This watch is safe for any underwater activity. Go find Nemo.

Men’s Watch Sizes – How to Know the Right Size for Your Wrist

An oversized dial bulging out of your sleeve is uncomfortable, and a delicately small dial makes it hard to read the time (and it’ll make your wrist look massive).

If you’re a bigger man with a large wrist, buy a watch with a wider dial (between 42 mm and 50 mm). For smaller gents with thin wrists, go for men’s watches with smaller dials (around 40 mm or smaller).

Watch Case Diameter
- Small Watch Cases – 34 mm
- Mid-Size Watch Cases – 34 mm - 38 mm
- Standard Men’s Watch Cases – 39 mm - 42 mm
- Oversized Watch Cases – 43 mm - 46 mm
- Attention-Grabbing Watch Cases – Anything over 47 mm

The thickness of a watch case has a lot to do with its design and movement. Manual and automatic watches require more space than quartz watches. Complications and added features like those on men’s field and sport watches also impact the size.

For men, consider the size of your arm/wrist and what you’ll wear with your watch. If you’re wearing a suit or jacket, your watch should be thin enough to slide under your cuff.
