Best Watches

Watches run the gamut from cheap-and-reliable quartz daily-wearers to mechanical automatics you wind with your wrist, and the best watch for you comes down to how it reads at a glance and how it fits your life. When you shop, weigh the movement type, water resistance, case size against your wrist, and whether you want set-and-forget batteries or the charm of an automatic. Strap material matters too, since a band that bites or rattles will keep a great watch in the drawer.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a watch?

Start with the movement: quartz is accurate, cheap, and low-maintenance, while automatics feel more premium but cost more and need occasional service. After that, check water resistance, case size relative to your wrist, and how legible the dial is in normal light.

What is the difference between quartz and automatic watches?

Quartz watches run on a battery and a vibrating crystal, so they keep excellent time and need almost no care beyond a battery swap every few years. Automatics are wound by the motion of your wrist and have no battery, but they drift a little each day and cost more to own.

How much should I spend on a watch?

You can get a sharp, accurate quartz watch for a modest amount, and many of the most-loved daily wearers are inexpensive. Spend more only when you specifically want an automatic movement, a sapphire crystal, or higher water resistance for diving or daily abuse.
