For teachers looking for a watch that is reliable, high-quality and modern, this is the right choice. The model we are presenting is equipped with modern Eco-Drive technology that uses the power of light, both natural and artificial, so replacing batteries is a thing of the past for this watch. The case of this model is made of stainless steel, the diameter of which is 42mm while the thickness is 11mm. The case has a blue dial. It features luminous silver-tone hands and index hour markers. Also, there are three sub-dials displaying: 60 second, 60 minute and 24 hour. The calendar is located at the 4 o'clock position. Like the case, the bracelet is also made of stainless steel, whose width is 21mm. The watch is water resistant to a depth of 100 meters.

The next model we present is from Timex's famous Weekender collection. This series has a lot of models, in various variants, so everyone can find the right one for themselves. We decided on a model whose case is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 38 mm and a thickness of 9 mm. The dial is in a cream variant, and it has hands and full Arabic numerals (24-hour military time). This model also has Indiglo light-up technology, which enables the watch to be illuminated in dark conditions, by pressing the crown to activate this technology. As for water resistance, this watch is only splash and short submersion water resistant, but swimming or bathing with it is definitely not recommended

✅ You prefer simplicity - An absolutely simple model in every way. Without any confusing functions but modern design

Comfort is key - Excellent design and comfortable strap are a perfect combination, so they make this model extremely easy to wear

Short review

The search for smartwatches has been on the rise for the past few years, mostly due to the technological capabilities they offer. In addition to GPS functions, military and even diving capabilities, they also offer health monitoring, which can be extremely important for some teachers if they have health problems. There are also teachers who want to maintain their fitness and their bodies at a high level, so such information can be of great importance to them. Another great advantage is that by using a smart watch, you don't have to reach for your pocket to call and see who is sending you messages, but you can stop it at the same time. As a representative of the best smart watch for teachers, we singled out this Apple model, but in the following text there will also be a Garmin model, which is also compatible with Android users.

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ You Need Smart Notifications - As we said in the brief overview, this is one of the biggest advantages over analog and digital watches. Notifications are available to you, so you can immediately assess the urgency of the notification

✅ You Value Health and Fitness Features - An infinite number of options are available to track your rhythm

DON'T MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

❌ You Prefer Longer Battery Life - This is one of the few disadvantages of this model, because if you use it with great intensity, charging will be almost daily. With normal use it amounts to 2-3 days.

Short review

Casio models are very often present in our guides, and the reason for such a decision is their affordable price and the quality they offer. For teachers who need a reliable and cheap watch, this model is the right solution. Able to withstand difficult working conditions, and on the other hand, without worrying about battery life, this model has little competition in terms of these parameters. It is a digital watch with classic functions such as stopwatch, alarm, while data such as the time, day, and date can be read on the display. So somewhere between analog and smart watch. The battery in this model is of the long-term type, and its life is estimated at 7 years. The model itself is available in several colors, while the technical characteristics are more or less similar.

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ You appreciate simplicity and efficiency - If you want a classic digital model, without any complicated features, this model is for you
✅ Durability is a key factor for you - If you are a physical education teacher or have an active life, this model is the right companion.

DON'T MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

❌ You need a watch for water-related activities. -However, not everything on this model is worth praising, and that is its water resistance. It will be sufficient for splashing or short immersion in water, however, it is not suitable for some water sports.

Short review

Although the Casio model could have easily taken this position, we still opted for this model, because it is classic, smaller in size and unisex, so it is suitable for both men and women. There are combinations of this model, but most of them are designed for either men or women, so we decided on a unisex model. All in blue, its case is made of plastic, the diameter of which is 34mm while the thickness is 9mm. The dial is also in blue color and has hands and Arabic numerals as hour markers, while the calendar is at the 3 o'clock position. As for the bands, it is made of silicone and its width is 19mm. This Swatch model is waterproof, but not suitable for water activities, but for temporary immersion in water or splashing

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ Budget is a Consideration - If you don't want to spend a lot of money on different watches in order to have one for every occasion, this one model changes any collection at an affordable price
✅ You Value Durability -It may not be as durable as some Casio models, but this is one of the better quality models on the market

DON'T MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

❌ You Need Advanced Features - For something like that you'll have to look through some of our other sections, this is a really classic model

Short review

For many years, this collection 5 has been listed as very popular, and the two primary reasons for this are: the affordable price and the quality of the product. When we talk about the quality of collection 5, we will say that the model SNK809 has a case made of stainless steel, whose diameter is 37mm, thickness 11mm, while the caseback is transparent. The dial is black, very legible with white hands and white numbers, while the minute markers are located around the outer rim. The calendar is located at the three o'clock position and has a day and date display. It can be immediately concluded that this SNK809 model is powered by an automatic movement and it itself has a 21-jewel. The straps are made of nylon, also in black, with a width of 17mm.

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ You're Seeking Professional Style - The model is very professional and suitable for all formal occasions as well as for school.

Conformity and good looks are very important in this business. As someone who is a role model for those people, who will be respected people tomorrow, a decent appearance becomes an obligation. The Daniel Wellington model is certainly one of those that every business woman would like to have in her collection. The reason for that is more than obvious. Nice design, its case is made of stainless steel, the diameter of which is 36mm while the thickness is 6mm. The dial is clear and clean in white, without any complications and has rose gold hands and index hour markers. The straps of DW00100039 are made of leather, whose width is 18mm. Similar to the previous model in terms of water resistance, it is water resistant but only for short immersions and splashes.

Physical education teachers, in addition to working with students that include physical activities, also maintain their fitness level both in class and outside of class. This model is designed to help them track their fitness through a variety of apps. When it comes to fitness tracking, Garmin is known to be one step ahead of the competition. In addition to heart rate monitoring, it also offers calories, sleep, health, and for ladies there is also a special mode called (WOMEN'S HEALTH). As for sensors, this model 235 has GPS, Glonass, accelerometer, thermometer. Connectivity is its strong point, as it can be connected to both Android and iOS platforms. What is a big plus for teachers with smart watches is the notification system, so they can make a decision right away whether to answer the call or whether the message is of more urgent importance.

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ You Seek a Watch with Long Battery Life - This is usually a drawback of most smartphones and smartwatches. However, the Garmin company is at an extremely satisfactory level in this regard, because only this model can last 9 days with normal use

Short review

The model that we present to you has a very elegant and modern design, intended for almost daily wear, but not for all occasions. Due to its poor water resistance, it is not suitable for some water activities, so we cannot count it as an all-occasion watch. However, it is water resistant to splashes and temporary immersion in water, so be there without worrying, it won't really get damaged by rainwater. The analog display is what is striking about this model, a very simple design, without any advanced features, except for the calendar located at the three o'clock position. What this model has is solar power, so batteries are eliminated from use. The bracelet is made of stainless steel whose width is 20mm

MAKE A PURCHASE IF:

✅ You Value Classic Elegance and Professionalism - If you are meticulous and professional, this model will suit you. The design of the model, which we have already talked about, is elegant and fits into such a lifestyle
✅ You Need a Reliable, Low-Maintenance Watch -Made of durable materials and solar powered, this model also has a quartz movement so maintenance costs are kept to a minimum.

The final product for our guide to the best watches for teachers is the Fossil Grant ME3027. A model that is both functional and modern is our choice for men, with a slightly more robust construction, whose case is made of stainless steel, with a diameter of 44mm and a thickness of 15mm. The case of the ME3027 model has a white, skeleton-type dial with luminous silver-tone hands and Roman numeral hour markers, while the minute markers are around the outer rim. Also on the dial of the ME3027 model there are three sub-dials for displaying: Date, month and day of the week. As for the strap, it is made of leather, the width of which is 22mm.
