Best watches for everyday use in 2024

Welcome to our guide on best watches for everyday use. Given that the criteria are huge and that the budget varies from individual to individual, we have invested a lot of effort and effort so that everyone can find the right model for themselves.

We will try to choose at least three models for each of the categories through the wide range of watches on the market. Since these are watches that should essentially be used for everyday use and not for wearing on special occasions, we will also take into account durability and style as two crucial factors in the selection.

The battery is a very important factor for some people, so the choice of mechanism can be very important in this.

Short review

At first glance, it is an absolutely simple model, made of stainless steel, both in terms of the case and also the bracelet. The dial has a simple design in black with luminous hands and markers, and a series 5 index and calendar located at the 3 o'clock position. The case back is transparent so you can see the movement of the watch. Its water resistance is up to 30 meters, so it is durable when it comes to splashing but not intended for some water sports. The watch is powered by an automatic movement and when some parameters are taken in terms of affordable price, design and quality, it certainly belongs to the best automatic watches. The automatic movement is powered by Seiko caliber 7S26 with 41-hour power reserve

✅ You're Looking for Value - The company Seiko is well-known to fans and real connoisseurs of this subject for its value, which offers the right price-quality ratio
✅ You're a Fan of Classic Style - If you like simple models without any additional chronograph functions, or advanced ones like smart or digital, this is the model for you

❌ You Require Significant Water Resistance - If your activities during the day are such that you are in contact with water, this model is not for you. As we said, it is only suitable for spraying, but not for some more extreme conditions

Display Type - Analog
Case material - Brass
Case diameter - 35 millimeters

Short review

Like previous models. Affordable prices, high quality, simple design is considered a true representative of this list. Its versatility when it comes to the Weekender series is what gives it an edge over some other brands. The case of this model is round, made of brass. The dial of the model TW2P62300 is blue in color with luminous hands and Roman numerals with three sub-dials with another useful thing that most Timex models have and that is the Indiglo light-up. The straps are made of leather in brown color and their width is 20mm. Like the previous model that we described, this one is not suitable for some water activities, but it is resistant to splashes, or more precisely to all contact with water except immersion.

✅ You Enjoy Personalizing Your Gear - The advantage, as we said in the product review, is that the model is versatile. So everyone can fit this collection into their own style.
✅ You Seek Quality on a Budget - It is difficult to find a real competitor to Timex in this parameter, maybe only the previous manufacturer Seiko or Casio

❌ You Crave Absolute Silence - Some users found this as a disadvantage. We'll point it out just in case, although it's not that noisy and according to our research the level of noise is actually acceptable.

Display Type - Analog
Case diameter - 43 millimeters
Case Thickness - 12 millimeters
Band Material - Polyurethane
Band width - 19 millimeters
Movement - Quartz
Special features - 200 Meters Water Resistant

Short review

Citizen Promaster Dive BN0151-09L is listed as one of the more durable watches on the market. And it really is, because its case is made of stainless steel, capable of withstanding pressures even at great depths, so it is essentially a reliable diver's watch. As for the dial, it is a classic design with hands and markers, while the calendar is located at the 4 o'clock position. With its Eco-drive technology, it is capable of converting any energy source into electricity and storing it. What this model has is similar to smartwatches, which is a battery level indicator that warns you that the battery is about to run out. Since it is a watch that is suitable for diving, it is logical that its hands should be luminous, and we can say that this is indeed the case, because few watches can match it in this sphere

✅ You Prefer a Watch with Visibility in All Conditions - This is one of the more underrated features on almost all watches, but for some people this feature is very important, because a lot of people actually work at night and in low light conditions.

❌ You Require a Lightweight and Low-Profile Accessory - Considering that this type of watch requires that the material from which it is made is strong and durable, sometimes it can be a problem for people who are looking for a light one, because this model is definitely heavier compared to some others

Display Type - Digital
Case diameter - 45 millimeters
Case Thickness - 15 millimeters
Band size - 9 Inches
Band width - 26 millimeters
Movement - Quartz
Bezel function - Stationary
Water resistant depth - 660 Feet

Short review

Digital watches are very much in fashion. The fact that with the advent of smartwatches, the market has become very competitive and that digital watches have been suppressed in some way, however, they are still in high demand on the market. Because the Casio company offers models that are truly for everyday wear and this is where their G-Shock collection leads the way, offering durability, quality and an affordable price as a set. The model that we have listed is one of those criteria, among the most sought-after digital models on the market, and in addition to all that, it is characterized by the normal functions that most digital watches have, such as a stopwatch, timer, alarm, flash alert feature and other functions such as 12/24-hour format, etc.

✅ You want a watch with a long battery life - It is certainly one of the main features of the Casio company. There are models whose battery durability is guaranteed for 10 years without replacement. This model is also characterized by a long-lasting battery

❌ You have a smaller wrist or prefer a lighter watch -
