FX.co ★ Top 10 best watches for men

10. U.S. Polo Assn.

High-quality watches of the American brand U.S. Polo Assn., which also produces sportswear, rank ten in the list of most popular watch brands. The brand offers classic elegant models made of natural hypoallergenic materials.

To avoid fakes, the watches are only distributed through official representatives making it quite difficult to purchase. Popular models are available at a price of $45 whereas the most expensive ones can cost $1,000 and above.

9. Poljot-Chronos

The Russian watch manufacturer Poljot-Chronos has inherited high quality from the First State Watch Factory. The outstanding quality is beyond question since 70% of watch orders belong to the government and military agencies.

These watches can be passed from generation to generation and become a real family relic. The minor drawback of this brand is an old-fashioned design and prevalence of “Soviet” models.

As some models are made of precious metals and jewelry alloys, their price can go up to $3,000, while more affordable pieces may cost $20-30.

8. Romanson

The clock mechanism and design of the Romanson watch brand were created in South Korea. However, its main production and assembly points are located in China. This allows the brand to successfully compete with other well-known watch manufacturers, winning consumer trust with affordable prices. Each model is unique and fits perfectly into any style - from casual to classy.

The brand uses only high-quality materials fitting its watches with mineral or sapphire crystal glass. However, the spraying may come off with time. The price of a low cost model starts at $35. A quartz watch in a ceramic case is estimated at $800.

7. Essence

Essence watches are manufactured in South Korea and successfully take over the well-known brands due to the excellent quality and advantages of ceramic models with mineral glass. Reasonable prices and a variety of styles, including minimalistic classic models with a leather strap, make this brand popular among customers.

Some shortcomings include a slight change in the shade of the spraying on the watch frame. Inexpensive models can be purchased for $70-90 while the most expensive ones will cost $200-300.

6. Swatch

The Swiss brand Swatch is the best example of finding a personal touch for everyone what makes it suitable for those who have their distinctive style.

Men's digital and mechanical watches have an outstanding sports design and a lightweight plastic case. Classic models in a stainless steel case can also boast excellent characteristics.

Due to unusual design and exceptional quality, the cost of such watches varies from $50 to $350. Warranty service applies only to the clockwork, while the plastic case should be protected from damage.

5. Tissot

Tissot is an authentic Swiss watch brand of premium class. Watch models vary from electronic sport version to stylish classical design. Jewelry cases are made of gold and decorated with rubies and diamonds. Tissot has its own Swiss-based production. Therefore, in case of any mechanism failure, the watch will be repaired at a specialized service center for free.

Affordable Tissot models may cost $150 but they can scratch the skin and clothes. At the same time, a watch for $1,700 with a stainless steel frame and a sapphire crystal glass will definitely satisfy its owner. The price range for jewellery models starts at $2,200.

4. Citizen

Japanese brand Citizen first entered the market as a producer of calculators and computer technologies. Today, the brand is famous for its incredibly accurate digital watches. However, their quartz models have gained popularity among customers. The Citizen watch collection is manufactured exclusively for the Japanese domestic market and is highly valued for its exceptional accuracy and unsurpassed quality of the clockwork mechanism.

The Attesa series was created for the wider market but it is a rather costly collection. The elegant classics can reach up to $2,000-2,500.

The Promaster line was designed specially for an active lifestyle. That is why most electronic models are fitted with soft silicone straps. The sport models’ price starts at $60.

3. Orient

Japanese watches Orient are valued for their elegant design and quality materials. Most of the models have cases of stainless steel, hypoallergenic titanium alloys, coated with gold spraying, and are well protected from environmental influence.

Such mechanical watches require delicate cleaning and maintenance, but it's worth it. Budget-friendly models will start from $40 and above, the price of the most expensive models can reach $1,150.

2. Diesel

Diesel, the Italian youth brand, is famous for its solid design and bold style featured in roughly stylized leather straps. The steel case provides a good protection from moisture and damage. Expensive models have the best moisture protection. Diesel watches are available at a wide price range starting from $150 up to $600. The company attracts customers with various promotions and sales.

1.Casio

The legendary Japanese brand Casio in its early days was specializing in calculator production. Today, its electronic wristwatch has gained no less trust and favour among customers.

The G-SHOCK collection features such functions as a stopwatch timer, alarm clock, backlight, and is suitable for extreme sports, protecting the clockwork from moisture, damage, and extreme temperatures.

EDIFICE line combines functionality and elegance providing both reliability and durability.

PRO TREK collection will be highly appreciated by travelers: numerous sensors will record the direction, temperature, humidity, altitude, which will allow you to fully control the route.

Perhaps the only drawback is the silicone straps, which are difficult to replace. With this in mind, you can choose a suitable option for a very reasonable price since the price range is quite wide - from $15 to $1,500.
