If you’re looking for an anniversary gift or something that you can add a personalized touch to, this quartz chronograph watch is accented with a durable, stainless steel band.

So the features on this watch sound awesome. The face is protected by recessed crystal and a tactical looking raised bezel, which is also there because it adds durability to the product. One of our favorite aspects is that the band links look like a mountain range from the side, which is a unique and intricately thought-out detail. Japanese quartz and three hands consistently and reliably deliver accurate time. It’s all about the workmanship, and it shows. There is a limited but seemingly decent warranty for two years if you purchase directly from Nixon or an authorized Nixon dealer.

I could stare at Original Grain’s watches all day long. With impeccable details and luxurious finishes, these aren’t just watches. They’re art. All-natural Hawaiian wood adds a deep and unique texture to each watch. And if your jaws are dropping over this one, take a look at their whiskey barrel creations. There’s plenty of functionality at the same time with the stopwatch timing system and a calendar date feature. Keep in mind this is a water-resistant watch, and the company details the specifics on how to go about water exposure— “the crown must be screwed/pushed in all the way so that water does not get inside the casing. Always rinse with freshwater immediately after if you expose it to saltwater.”

“Looks amazing! It was easy to set it (the videos online were helpful). It’s a little heavier than my other watches, but weight us just fine for the size. Blend of gun metal and Koa is spot on.”

With an adjustable strap with buckle closure, the watch is relatively versatile while having a striking assortment of masculine dials. It kind of gives off race car vibes with those bold black blocks of color. While many love the style, some did find the design a little bit difficult to read. There’s a lot going on, but this is what makes it looks so awesome. The watch is water resistant up to 100 m and also comes with a one-year limited warranty.

Glow in the dark Super-LumiNova painted hands and dials sound like something from space. And we love it! On top of all, the “ooh and ah” feature is a scratch-proof lens and changeable straps. The design also consists of high-strength stainless steel, which is anti-corrosion. The watch itself can handle up to 200 m of water and is labeled water resistant in the description but waterproof in the title. Three distinctive designs are available to choose from, and each is a streamlined, good-looking option.

“It’s a good watch, it’s like having two watches in one. I like that the bracelet comes with screws instead of push pins. And the quick release bars are nice. But kinda hard to put the second one in. You have to get it at an angle.”

First of all, this watch is absolutely gorgeous, with a deep ocean blue color dominating the watch, face and band. Gold accents add a touch more elegance, creating a watch that is the opposite of tactical for men who might want something to wear to a formal event. The intricate mesh style band won’t fade, and a hardened mineral glass makes up the watch face for added durability. Bonus, this is also packaged beautifully according to the description, so all in all, it’s a stunning gift for him. Free replacement within 12 months is offered.

Water-resistant for up to 50 m, the description mentions this to be okay for swimming or showering. Still, it’s not recommended to do any deep diving or heavy-duty water activities with it.

Sometimes it’s refreshing to keep it classic. With highly polished stainless steel, this watch is a timeless, no pun intended, men’s watch—no fancy dials, no tactical band, just a really nice handsome piece. While the description does initially detail this one to be waterproof, it’s actually water resistant, like most watches. That is because there are some limitations. While the watch can get wet and can resist water to about 100 feet, it is not recommended to swim with it. Just consider it an item you can relax a little bit about when washing your hands or doing daily activities.
