Before you say anything, yes, we know you can tell time on your phone now. But there's just something about wearing a watch that's both convenient and elegant. Putting one on makes you feel like an adult, someone who's got it together. Plus, it's the perfect accessory to wear when you feel like keeping your jewellery on the more minimal side [1]; enough to make a statement, but not so much that you feel overwhelmed by stacks and stacks of bracelets [2].
If you've been considering wearing a watch, you want something you're going to love every single day. While there's plenty of room in your closet for statement earrings, we love a watch that's timeless and classic. Lucky for you, we found 16 options that fit the bill — just keep reading to shop!
