For most men a watch may be the only accessory they wear, whether you have an extensive watch collection, or rely on one staple, it is an investment worth every penny. It's no wonder they make great gifts, especially for Father's Day.

While some may prefer an affordable design to wear everyday, others may be wanting to splash out on a designer purchase to stand the test of time. Digital watches are always popular, others may opt for a classic analogue.

The design of the watch is key, right down to the strap, with durable metal or leather straps making their own subtle style statements.

Casio, Larsson and Jennings, and Swatch are among some of the popular more affordable brands for men’s watches, but for those who are looking for a little more luxury, Apple, Omega, Tag Heuer, and Rolex are the cream of the crop. 

We have scoured high and low to find you the best men's watches to buy to suit all styles and budgets.
