Men's watch reviews - best mens watches 2012

Prior to World War I, wrist watches - now considered the only distinguished piece of jewellery a man can wear - were considered feminine, and men stuck to pocket watches. During World War I officers started wrist watches because they where more easily accessible in a battle situation. After this men decided wrist watches wheren't so girly after all.

Today, the wrist watch is considered a status symbol among men of fashion and style. Men's formal wear is fairly uniform, and often a watch is the only way to really display individual style and taste at a formal event. Because of this, many men have a collection of fine watches. Read on to learn about the top new men's watches.

TAG Heuer Men's Aquaracer Chronograph Watch

Style meets sporty functionality in this durable, exquisitely crafted watch. Waterproof down to 984 feet, the Aquaracer has a dial window made of sapphire, which resists scratching. This watch has precision quartz movement, along with a hefty price tag of $1,900.00.

Casio Men's Pathfinder Triple Sensor Altimeter, Barometer and Digital Compass Watch

CasioThe name of this product says it all-well almost. Aside from a watch with a large display, there is also an altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. Protective crystals make this watch nearly scratch proof, and it lights up in the dark. Retailing at $200.00, this watch is more affordable than the aqauracer, but it looks just like any other sporty digital watch you can get for much less. The real draw here is in the features.

GUCCI: Men's Watch

GUCCI's first digital offering has all the quality you'd expect from GUCCI, although the style is rather utilitarian. The display is large and easy to read, and the watch is scratch resistant so it will maintain its looks through normal wear and tear.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive: Canvas Strap

Eco-watches are amazing; they run on solar power and some models use the kinetic energy given off by the swing of your arm for power. These watches don't die and you don't need replacement batteries. The canvas strap has a casual feel, but is reinforced with a leather lining for durability. This design is classic without being over the top.

TAG Heuer Men's: Silver Aquaracer Watch

Another Aquaracer from TAG, this silver watch is priced lower than the earlier one on the list. This watch is slightly heavy in design, but the silver sophistication is worth it, even if the silver face can make the dial a bit difficult to see in certain lighting conditions. Retails for $1500.00, with an Amazon price of $900.00.

Casio Men's G-Shock Multi-Band

gshockThis watch is somehow unique and classic at the same time. The black face gives just the right amount of dramatic flair. This product is waterproof to 660 feet, which means it's more than protected during the average swim. This Casio is also shock resistant and has a durable band. Retail price is $130.00, but you can find it on Amazon for less than $110.00.

TAG Heuer Men's Grand Carrera

This offering from TAG is a beautiful piece, with a black face and silver frame. The dial is clean, uncluttered, and easy to read. This watch makes a statement of tasteful elegance, but it is likely to be out of the price range of the average person. It also weighs about three pounds, so you'll probably tone your bicep somewhat just wearing it all day! Like all TAG pieces, it keeps excellent time.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive

Like all eco-drives, this watch is solar powered, and does not require a battery. This model is large and substantial, but not heavy. The dial is slightly cluttered, as though it's trying to accomplish too much. A great feature is that you can set the calendar and it will reset itself and remain accurate until the year 2100.

TAG Heuer: Men's Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre 17 RS

TAG knows how to make a quality watch. Like all TAG offerings, this piece is on the pricey side ($6,200.00!) but well worth it if you have that kind of money. The looks, the sophistication, the style, and the function all fall into place with a watch that keeps perfect time, is easy to read, and is overall just a joy to wear for many different occasions.

Luminox Men's EVO Ultimate SEAL

This is a watch designed to work in all conditions. Its luminosity is far brighter than competitors, and it can take a pounding. The silver on black dial is appealing, and the dial window is made with a non-reflective material to prevent glare. This substantial watch is not for the thin-wristed. This piece is $925.00, but can be found on Amazon for $738.00.

I hope you've enjoyed reading best mens watches 2012. Remember to shop online to save a substantial amount.
