Awesome Watches

G-SHOCK’s slim-bodied GD-B500 case design melds beautifully with its strap. At 46.3 mm in diameter and 11.0 mm thick, it’s smaller than other G-SHOCK models. The digital watch features date, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm, step tracker functions, and a bright LED backlight. Choose from fluorescent yellow, light grey/translucent, black, or white.

This watch from the Timex Waterbury collection has a German-designed fly back chronograph movement. Its fan-shaped secondary dials can display lap times in chrono mode, and the upper dial is a second time-zone indicator when not in use as a stopwatch. It’s housed in a 43mm stainless steel case with a leather strap. Comes in brown/blue/gold or black/black.

VERO teamed up with the U.S. Forest Service to create a series of field watches inspired by the people who help protect our nation’s forests and grasslands. The series has four color schemes: Ranger, Hotshot, Airtanker, and Service Green. Each packs a Seiko kinetic movement, Super Luminova hands, and a stainless steel case with a ceramic coating.

This beautifully customized wristwatch from IFL Watches started as a stock Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic with a stainless steel case and link band. What makes it special is the enamel dotting its face, evoking tiny stars and planets. The watch has a 40mm, 21-jewel movement, and a 40-hour power reserve. Just 100 of these hand-painted pieces will be made.

This watch from Autodromo features a design inspired by 1980s Group B rally cars. Its hash-marked face evokes the technical look of instrument gauges and looks awesome in the Verde Smeraldo color scheme. The watch’s stainless steel frame is integrated with its bracelet, while its Miyota movement is sandwiched inside a two-part titanium capsule.

The slimline Good + Evil Omen wristwatch was designed by “recovering architect” Christo Logan. We love the clean, but bold choices like the offset, asymmetrical design, flush-mounted crown, and 3-dimensional face reminiscent of the seats in a theater-in-the-round. Its D-shaped case is made from sandblasted stainless steel in either grey or black.

We love IFL Watches’ custom colored G-Shock watches. Good thing they expanded the collection using the thin and sporty 43mm GMA-S2100 as their base. The playful rainbow accents on the dial and bezels contrast nicely with the all black case, but there are also see through and other colorways in the CasiOak Mini Collection.

To create the Time Master 70, Ferro & Company took inspiration from the mid-century modern designs of the 1970s. The watch features a 39mm stainless steel case with a cushion-shaped body and a brushed finish. It’s powered by a Japanese Miyota movement visible through an orange-tinted back. Choose from silver, orange, pink, or blue face designs.

This clip-on Dakota watch puts the time where you need it. Its carabiner-style alloy clip attaches to your belt loop or backpack and offers time, stopwatch, alarm, and calendar functions on its reverse LCD screen. The watch is water-resistant to 100 feet and has a stainless steel back. It also has a built-in compass and is available with a standard LCD.

This clever wristwatch from Projects lets you rewind to the 1990s every time you check the time. Designed in collaboration with pop artist Riki Prosper, the 40mm watch has a spinning holographic effect layer that makes it look like a Compact Disc. The Play button indicates the hour, while Pause shows the minutes. Watch the disc spin on Instagram.

Uncrate and DC Comics teamed up with some of the best clothing and accessory brands to create the Wayne Enterprises collection. They feature subtle branding in the form of Bruce Wayne’s company’s logo and emphasize style and class over vengeance. Standouts include a leather folder, a brass and leather punching bag, and translucent gray sunglasses.

Most people carry smartphones nowadays, so why should you still wear a wristwatch? Bernard and Mikey from Everyday Carry’s Carried Away offer some good reasons to look at your wrist instead of digging into your pocket. While watches have some practical advantages like their simplicity, their aesthetics and sentimental value make them special.

Watch shop Hodinkee teamed up with minimalist design house Braun to create the BN0279. The grey 40mm mechanical watch is as simple as it gets, with hints of color calling back to Braun’s alarm clocks from the 70s. It’s available with either a second hand or a sub-second dial; each limited to 100 units.

To celebrate the release of Dune: Part Two, watchmaker Hamilton teamed up with the film’s prop master to create this unique timepiece.

They also have a Dune analog watch.

This substantial analog watch from MTM looks terrific in grey. Its black-on-grey dial has easy-to-read hour markers, Super LumiNova hands, and a separate seconds dial. It’s driven by a Swiss Ronda 6004 movement in a stainless steel case with a scratch-resistant tempered glass crystal. The flexible rubber strap completes the monochrome grey color scheme.
