Which are the most rugged outdoor watches?

Anyone who likes to be outdoors or in nature is understandably looking for the functionality of a watch.

What are the watch trends for the year 2019?

Wristwatches are one of the most basic things for people. The reason for this is that they not only have many functions that are indispensable for everyday life, but have also become an increasingly important accessory for men. Today, the man no longer owns only one watch, which he may have inherited or got for a lot of money – no! On average, men today own more than one watch, and rightly so. In the past it was only about watches fulfilling their function, which were that you can read and/or stop the time, they are waterproof and at best durable. But today, when men buy a watch, they are more than just interested in functionality. The gentlemen of creation also want to look good, and watches play a fundamental part in this. Here you can find out which Trends Man 2019 is wearing on his wrist.

Sports Watches

With their integrated heart rate monitor and GPS, swimming and analysis functions, these watches are a must for every athlete and are tailored to his needs. A good sports watch has several aspects. It notifies you not only situation-related and stops the recording of the training unit to achieve a more accurate evaluation. It also offers already integrated training plans and allows you to synchronize your own training plan. In 2019, the metal wristband in particular is an absolute must-have for all sports enthusiasts who also want to look fashionable.

Airman’s watches

Known from the beginnings of 1900, the pilot’s watch was originally developed for the needs of pilots. Today, however, it is one of the most important watches in the men’s sector. Typical for a pilot watch are a black dial and a clearly readable time as well as the large case with an equally handy crown. With their large design, these watches look even more masculine and are a must for anyone who wants to draw attention to themselves and their wrists.

Smartwatches

Although this watch has been around for quite some time, it has come to the fore again, especially in today’s age of digitalization and by manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung. The functions of the watch are almost endless and offer a wide range in terms of design and price segment. It is not only important in the area of sports and health (like the sports watch), but also shows you messages and missed calls when synchronized with your mobile phone, in other words: The Smartwatch is the mobile phone for the wrist!

Minimalistic clocks

“Less is more” is the motto of this watch trend. In addition to a simple design and muted colours, the absence of numbers on the dial is often significant for these watches. By using only a few colours, which are nevertheless rich in contrast, the watches attract attention despite their simplicity.

Retro watches

Retro. These are all the things that were totally in vogue in the time before you could take part yourself and now rise from the dead again. Some watches also belong to the risen ones. This is not about the imperishable, classic watches from the years of grandma and grandpa, but about the watches for which one would have been ashamed a few years ago to wear them. Retro is the new one, and therefore an absolute eyecatcher!

Chronographs

An immortal trend. The chronographs with their integrated stopwatch are not a new trend, but a classic which never goes out of fashion. In addition to the additional hands, this watch is characterized above all by its very masculine design.

Flat watches

Similar to minimalism, here it is reduced to something. In this case, the reduction of the watch refers only to the case. This not only makes them an eye-catcher visually, but also makes them more comfortable to wear thanks to the reduced housing.

Skeletonized clocks

The skeleton clock allows a glimpse into the inside of the clock. In these watches, parts of the movement are made visible, which makes the continuous movement of the dial visible. Precisely because of this special feature, these watches are particularly popular and coveted by watch lovers.

Sport watches

The sporty wristwatches are characterized, who would have thought otherwise, by their sporty design. The digits of the watch are typically large and striking, which means that the case of the watch is usually larger. However, there are also sporty watches, which are very minimalist. But those who are less interested in the design of a classic watch and more in sporty models should definitely look for sporty wristwatches!

Which watch should the man have in the cupboard in 2019?

Watch trends are not only available with the different models, also with colours and materials there are different things which are a must for every man this year! From completely monochrome to special features such as precious wood or gold and ceramics.
