Looking for a watch you'll reach for every morning? Here are our best everyday watches, built for daily wear.
1. Hamilton Khaki Field Murph Auto 38mm
This Hamilton Khaki Field was Murph's everyday watch in the movie Interstellar, passed onto her from her father, eventually outliving her. While the movie is fiction, the part about the watch enduring beyond its owner is quite close to reality.
Hamilton's Khaki Field line is robust and stylish, and this "Murph" edition is a dressier version of a field watch—blending formal and functional with its black and beige colours.
This watch doesn't only last in the long term, but also in the shorter term as it's powered by Hamilton's H-10 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve.
2. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 - Light Blue
Swiss reliability with Tissot's eye for classic design, the revival of the PRX with its timeless vintage design with modern internals makes it a watch perfect for everyday use.
Its design strikes a balance between beauty and simplicity so you you'll never get tired of looking at it. With its gentle and elegant patterned blue dial, minimalistic indices, and seamless integrated bracelet, it is a watch that is much greater than the sum of its parts.
Powered by the Powermatic 80, this watch will last you up to 80 hours of non-use before it needs to be wound again. Making this your everyday watch will ensure that it's always ready to be worn, even if you tend to opt for a different watch for the weekend.
3. Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt - Beads of Rice
The Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue is a watch that will accompany you through the exciting or the mundane.
A glance at the dial, whether during a dull moment or while waiting for your coffee, invites you to drift into daydreams of calming open sea and nautical exploration. Even better, when you're actually travelling, this watch is one you can depend on with its 200m water resistance, scratch-resistant double-dome crystal, and shockproof construction.
It's not just an everyday watch, it's a watch for life.
4. DOXA SUB 200 Sea Emerald
If your daily life brings you near or in the water on a constant basis, the DOXA SUB 200 Sea Emerald is a must-have.
DOXA has a long history of making some of the best dive watches in the world competing with the top brands. This SUB 200 is named exactly for the rough environment of the waters. With 200m water resistance, a domed crystal, and an incredibly bright coating of Super-LumiNova, this watch is a watch you can depend on for critical situations. Also it is offered with a unique dial color that will certainly turn heads.
5. CASIO CA500WE-1A
Yes, our phones now have calculators, but do you even remember where you placed the app? Jokes aside, a calculator always at the ready is incredibly useful. You can add up your groceries' cost, figure out how much you spend on fuel, and so much more. Introducing the iconic Casio CA-500.
Combine this with the watch's timer and stopwatch functions and you open up a whole world of possibilities. The CA-500 has a cult following among Casio fans as this watch is a tool beyond what most timepieces offer.
6. G-SHOCK GMB2100AD-2A
A G-Shock that looks like a Royal Oak that you won't be afraid to take on adventures. The GM-B2100's all-metal construction with a blue dial and an iconic octagonal shape gives it its nickname: the "CasiOak."
This solar-powered quartz watch with an analog display and a day sub-dial is quirky, tough, and packed with features. It can be connected to your phone through Bluetooth to synchronise the time on your phone among many features you can access on the G-Shock app like alarms, timer, world time, and even a phone finder.
If you want a digital watch with some smart features but still want your analog hands, this is a great pick.
7. Furlan Marri Mechaquartz Rosso Grigio Ref. 1085-A
The Furlan Marri Mechaquartz is a great daily option for those who want mechanical motion with quartz accuracy. Rosso Grigio—meaning red and grey in Italian, describe the hues of the watch, and the combination is quite unique and stunning.
The roulette dial with the chronograph sub-dials flanking the centre gives it a flair of excitement. The leaf hands, domed crystal, and vintage font on the 12 and 6 o'clock make it sophisticated and classy, while the two-stitch leather strap in a deep maroon has both an elegant and rebellious aura.
Whether you're out for a cool drive, attending a formal event, or getting ready for your daily routine, this watch keeps things lively.
