If there’s one segment of the watch market flooded with options, it’s dive watches. This is great news for buyers as that translates to plenty of options at a wide range of price points. For instance, the sub-$1,000 dive watch market is rich with choices, ranging from big brands to micro brands, modern to retro-inspired, mechanical to quartz, and large to small. Despite all the variances, what all dive watches typically have in common are water-resistant cases, lumed dials, and unidirectional rotating timing bezels. Here are our picks for the 9 best dive watches under $1,000. Casio Duro MDV106 ..read more

The ideal specifications for an everyday watch can vary depending on personal preferences, lifestyle, and intended use. However, some general guidelines can help you pick a versatile and practical timepiece. For instance, a reliable movement is a must and durability should be a priority. Aim for at least 50 meters of water resistance although 100 meters would be ideal. Size and comfort are particularly important if you’ll be wearing it every day, so make sure the watch isn’t too big or small, too heavy or precious. Consider features like date and lume if those are important to you, and a strap ..read more

2023 saw some interesting trends take over the watch industry, ranging from a slew of collaborations (such as Audemars Piguet x Travis Scott, TAG Heuer x Rowing Blazers, Swatch x Blancpain) to some important anniversaries (60 years of the Rolex Daytona, 75 years of the Omega Seamaster, 70 years of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and others) to more rainbow watches you can shake a stick at. While some of these will likely carry over in the new year, we expect a few other watch trends to emerge in 2024. Read on to find out our top watch trends for 2024.

Characterized by simple and clean designs with pared-down dials, minimalist watches prioritize functionality and legibility and do away with unnecessary and fussy details. Not all, but many minimalist watches are inspired by Bauhaus design, a movement that emerged in the early 20th century, which emphasizes the principle of “form follows function.” In other words, the aesthetic appearance of an object should be a natural outgrowth of its functional purpose. Minimalist watches may be simple and understated but that does not mean they are boring — far from it. In fact, these timepieces are appea ..read more

Skeleton watches, also known as open-worked watches, are not timepieces decorated with skulls and other bones (although, those do certainly exist). Skeleton watches have open dials that allow for a view of the movement inside. What’s more, they sometimes have skeletonized movements that are engineered to hollow out as much as possible, which means you can see your wrist right through the watch while wearing it. Love them or not, skeleton watches are a staple of the watch market, particularly in the high-end segment. Luxury watch brands love to show off their intricate movements with skeletoniz ..read more

Football fans rejoice — the NFL season is back! For many, that means Sundays spent watching the games, following favorite teams to see who will make it to Super Bowl Sunday. But for watch nerds like us, that also means a few fantastic opportunities for watch spotting. Of course, NFL players don’t wear their watches on their field during games; yet, there are still plenty of chances to see watches, whether during the players’ arrivals to the stadium (which is often akin to a red carpet show), press conferences, and non-game day outings. Let’s have a closer look at some top NFL football players ..read more

For some of us, owning less than a handful of watches is enough — especially when those watches are strap monsters and bands can be easily swapped out for an entirely new look. However, there is a bevy of watch collectors out there with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of pieces in their collections. While it’s impossible to know who has the world’s biggest watch collections in the world (some collectors are notoriously secretive about their stash for security or financial scrutiny reasons), here some of the world’s largest watch collectors that we know of.
