Men's round watches – from quartz to automatic, from sporty to elegant
The men's round watch is the most classic choice, and this is where our range is widest, from affordable entry level to the Swiss premium class. After Casio, Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Festina and Longines are the strongest, but there is plenty of Vostok Europe and TAG Heuer too. You will find quartz, automatic, solar and hand-wound watches alike. As an official dealer we deliver with the manufacturer's warranty, and our own watch service can also size a metal bracelet for you.
Which round men's watch for work and for the weekend?
For the office, a slim case, a clean dial and a leather strap suit best – such as the Citizen Elegance or a Baume & Mercier. For weekends and sport, the Casio G-Shock, the Edifice or a Seiko 5 Sports is the right direction. If you want just one watch for everything, a 10 ATM round watch with a metal clasp – for example the Tissot Seastar or the Longines HydroConquest – works with a suit and with jeans.
Quartz, automatic or solar – what is the difference?
- Quartz: the most accurate and cheapest, needs a new battery every few years – our own watch service does this quickly.
- Automatic: runs without a battery, powered by the movement of your arm; the choice of round men's automatics is very wide.
- Solar: charges from light and runs for years without a battery change.
- Hand-wound: the rarest, more for collectors.
What diameter should a round men's watch be?
For a 16 to 17 cm wrist, 38 to 41 mm is usually in proportion; above 18 cm, 42 to 44 mm. Dive and sports watches look larger because of the bezel, dress watches smaller. You will find other shapes on the men's watches by case shape page. When choosing online, the simplest way is to measure a well-fitting watch you already have at home and compare it with the case diameter and lug-to-lug distance given on the product page.
