Still Not Impressed?
Then you should watch this!
I've found a great video about someone who just opens the box of his new Charles-Hubert men's pocket watch. I've learnt two things from this video: 1) the pocket watches from this supplier are BIG (I thought they are a bit smaller, anyway, they look AMAZING), and 2) the structure of these pocket watches is incredible, I cannot imagine how they can manufacture and build together such small parts. I couldn't help myself and watched this video at least 5 times. It is so beautiful how this pocket watch works! :) (The best parts are from 2:00.)
A Fantastic Antique Style Pocket Watch
Men's Pocket Watch with Chain from ESS
Buy this Men's Antique Pocket Watch with Chain
Want something that very few people have? Buy this antique style, stainless steel pocket watch for men.
The front case is amber glass, and its dial is pure white. The back has very detailed and beautiful patterns. It looks amazingly authentic, this pocket watch gives you the feeling that you own a real, worn watch from the 19th century. Even the chain looks awesome!
You think that it's an expensive watch? Not at all. The price is only $20. Go check yourself if you don't believe me!

A Nice and Very Cheap Pocket Watch
With Masonic Symbols from Sigma
Buy this Classic Mason Pocket Watch
You can find Masonic symbols on the dial of this pocket watch, and there's a mason emblem on the silver plated cover. If you have a relative or friend who's interested in freemasonry, you might have found a great gift for them.
The watch feels heavy and durable. But beware: according to some buyers the top part of the watch can broke off. Do not drop to the floor! :) Comes with a nice box and batteries. All in all, this pocket watch is worth the price ($13), but that's all.
Simple and Elegant
ESS Pocket Watch for Men with Stainless Steel Case
Buy this Men's Pocket Watch with Stainless Steel case
This beauty is a modern pocket watch with stainless steel case, white dial and roman numbers. It has a nice chain with a big clip on it.
This elegant watch is not bigger than half a dollar, so it will easily fit in your pocket. In addition, it's very easy to set. You don't need to worry about batteries either, it comes with an extra one.
If you're searching a good watch for a very reasonable price, you've probably just found it. The price tag shows only 21 bucks, I really don't understand how on earth can they manufacture and sell these watches for such a low price?


A Colibri Pocket Watch for Men
A Watch with Unusual Look
Click here to buy this Colibri Pocket Watch with Hunting Case
This timepiece looks handsome, and have an unusual form: it's not completely round like the others. The elegant, silver color and the nice pattern on the case make this watch a great choice.
It's a hunter-case type pocket watch, the dial is white and has silver arabic numbers. Although this is a pocket watch, you can set in on the table (but be careful, the stand is not too strong!).
This is one of my favorite pocket watches: it's pretty, heavy, durable and it comes with a great looking chain.

Another Elegant Pocket Watch for Men
Stainless Steel Pocket Watch with White Dial from ESS

Can a pocket watch be simple, elegant, easy-to-read and cheap at the same time? I've found a very nice men's pocket watch that fulfills all these criteria.
This stainless steel watch has a beautiful pattern case and a quite long and nice silver color chain. The black arabic numbers look charming on the white dial. Maybe this pocket watch is not the best of all, but it's definitely among the bests.
A Black Face Silver-plated Pocket Watch
Personalized Pocket Watch for Men
Buy this Elegant Personalized Pocket Watch
Are you looking for a men's pocket watch that can be personalized at no additional cost? You might just have found it, because this watch can be engraved with up to three initials.

Skeleton Pocket Watch with Zodiac Design
An Exquisite Pocket Watch for Men
I don't know how I haven't noticed this excellent full-hunter mechanical pocket watch until now - when I've recently browsed the pocket watch section on Amazon, this beauty just popped out from nowhere :)
When I edited this lens I couldn't decide which photo should I use, so I just inserted another great picture from this pocket watch.

See why I wanted to publish both ones? This watch is beautiful inside and outside as well. If you open it, you can see a magnificent dial with roman numerals, and you can also see the gears of the clock. When you close it, you can admire the amazing cover with 12 chiselled Zodiac symbols.
In addition to its beauty, this is an impressive, durable pocket watch. Since it's mechanical, you need to wind it everyday, because it stops after 25-30 hours. If you can't afford a thousand-dollar pocket watch for men, but you need one that looks way more expensive than its actual price, I strongly recommend this pocket watch.

Modern Pocket Watches for Men
A Digital Pocket Watch
Timex Men's Pocket Watch with Grip Clip
Buy this Timex T73751 Black Grip Clip Digital Watch
This weird-looking but still interesting timepiece snaps onto backpacks or you can just hold in your pocket. It's not just showing time but it has a timer and has alarm functions as well. Don't be afraid of the dark, the display can be read even at night.
The feature that makes this pocket watch your best friend is that it's water resistant. This pocket watch is the best choice if you like extreme sports or you often go hiking.
It's reliable, cheap and will never fail you.
A Modern Men's Pocket Watch with Microlight
From the Dakota Watch Company
Buy this Dakota Mini Clip Microlight Green
This modern timepiece is similar to the Timex pocket watch, but it's not digital. If you ask me, it even has a better look.
This men's pocket watch has an integrated carabiner, luminescent hour marker and it can be purchased in green, black and blue colors. It has a very bright, powerful microlight, and it's also water resistent for 100 feets.
A robust, good looking and very strong modern pocket watch for men.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Easy to Read Military Pocket Watch
A Bucasi Pocket Watch for Men
Buy this Bucasi Military Luminous Easy To Read Pocket Watch
Well, this watch looks different from the others, I haven't yet decided if I like it or not :) Anyway, it has big (and luminous) numbers that are very easy to read, and, at first glance, it's a heavy, durable pocket watch. The bad news is that it's not water resistant.
I would recommend this modern pocket watch if it were cheaper, maybe if you can buy for $25-$30, you'd make a great deal.
The Bucasi Pocket Watch in Action
Funny and Cool Pocket Watches for Men
Dragon Pocket Watch
Wow, a Gorgeous One with a Dragon!
Buy this Dragon Pocket Watch with Gorgeous Gold Tone Case
Just look at the picture. Is this pocket watch for men super cool or just awesome? This watch has a beautiful gold tone case with a giant garnet-colored centerpiece.
It comes with a gift box and a gold tone chain. This pocket watch is quite heavy, impressive, and what's the most important thing: IT HAS A DRAGON ON IT! Superb gift for dragon and pocket watch lovers.
It's a pocket watch that you probably won't use often - but imagine your friends face when you show them what time it is!
THE COOLEST!
Steampunk Vintage Style Pocket Watch
Crystal Orb with a Skeleton Dial
Buy this Steampunk Skeleton Pocket Watch
This pocket watch looks very unusual: the skeleton dial is contained by a crystal ball. It's very cool that the orb magnifies the small watch parts inside, so you can observe the structure easier. This pocket watch for men looks mysterious, classy and elegant, thanks to the brass colored case.
Since this watch is not flat, you won't wear it in your pocket. This cool pocket watch is a little bit smaller than it looks in the picture, but this is a "feature", because this way you can wear it as a pendant on a necklace. There are many great reviews about this pocket watch, so I really recommend it.

Open-face or hunter-case watches?
Main Types of Men's Pocket Watches

- 3Half hunter pocket watch
Explanation and Picture Examples
Open-face, Hunter-case and Half-hunter Pocket Watches
If the timepiece has no metal cover to protect the dial, then it's called an open-face pocket watch.
Hunter-case watches are more durable, because the cover closes over the dial and the crystal. It protects the watch from dust or being scratched.
If the cover has a glass panel, it's neither open-face nor hunter-case, it's called a half-hunter pocket watch.
