The Best Minimalist Watches For Men (That Won’t Break The Bank)

Listen, I’m not a watch guy.

Don’t get me wrong, I love watches, but I’m not overly obsessed with the brand, the history and the ingenuity that goes behind making a well made watch.

I can appreciate it, but it’s not a priority for me to spend thousands on a watch because of it.

I love the way a nice sleek watch looks on my wrist, and that’s about as far it goes for me. Aesthetics.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting it. There’s A LOT of people that share this exact sentiment, which is why over the past few years watch brands that import crappy watches from China have been exploding in popularity. (especially on instagram)

Not because they have well made watches, but because they’ve mastered the aesthetic portion of the formula.

What I aim to do here is to separate the crappy brands that just import crappy watches and mark them up 500% from real brands that put a semblance of care into making the best minimalist watches they can, at a reasonable price.

So here it is, a list of modern minimalist watches, from least expensive to most, that all have a fashionable sleek look.
