10 Reviews: Best Formal Watches for Men (Apr 2024)

Who says to take your fashion to the upper level you have to wear a thousand dollar watch? This one didn’t even make it to $50. Comes with an all-black design for both the case and the mesh band, making this watch look classy and elegant. Matches with a shirt or suit. Most importantly, this item is waterproof. What’s not to like?

It is gorgeous. There is is something formal and rich about its design, yet minimalistic. The package it came in is fancy; a leather like case, with a note asking, simply, "Happy?" Yes. Very. Thank you.

Make sure you are not late for the meeting with this Withings Steel HR Sport Hybrid Smartwatch. This watch is equipped with GPS so you can track your step and heart rate. In addition, you can get notifications from your smartphone, from calls, texts, events, and apps. Focus on your program without having to repeatedly check your phone. Steel HR is water-resistant to 50m.

Had this thing about two weeks and so far am loving it. I paired it with a NotoCity 20ｍｍ Stainless Steel Metal Watch Band and it works great. Not too bulky and a bit dressy-er than a regular fitness tracker. I wasn't looking for a full on smartwatch or a strictly silicone banded fitness tracker and this delivers exactly what I wanted. Steps seem pretty good but I haven't tested against a pedometer at the same time so I can't be sure. Love the step tracker and heart rate monitor. And after you get used to the color of the dial and hands it's pretty easy to tell time at a glance. Recommended

The Stührling Original Men’s Skeleton Watch is the perfect mix of luxury and unparalleled craftsmanship that you can see at a glance. The impressive detail of the dial featuring intricate engine makes it authentic. This fancy timepiece will grab the attention of all your co-workers, especially after finding out that the price is quite affordable.

I really love this watch. I was looking for a nice watch to wear out in certain dinners and things like that where I may want to wear something a little fancier than an Apple Watch as far as looks go. This is absolutely beautiful it’s got this cool little system to take it on and off that works great and I

Next, we have the G-Shock GSTB300S-1A that features a disk indicator at 6 o’clock that shows the current mode and charge level. Crafted from a carbon case, stainless steel bezel, and resin band, this watch will make you look manly, adding a cool touch to your outfit. Need a timer or alarm? All are available in this item.

If you fancy simplicity, this one will steal your heart. The About Vintage 1844 Chronograph serves a real function and complements man’s sense of style. The minimalist design is aided by the striking pearl white dial and Italian genuine leather. Pair it with your khaki blazer and see the difference.

Love it. Fantastic minimalist style, looks high quality. Just what I’ve been looking for at an entry level price point.

With an almost similar color combination to About Vintage’s watch‒brown and white, Carpenter’s G1 Brooklyn Gent also offers a classy simplicity. There is a date window next to number 3 to make sure you never forget your anniversary. The high-quality material keeps this watch ticking no matter what abuse they went through.

Starting with the substantial 46mm case diameter and finishing with the black rubber band, it’s a timepiece for your professional look. You will immediately feel the top-notch build once you put it on. This nice-looking watch will definitely make you more confident in attending every invitation.

The watch was better than expected. Everything about the watch is top notch. Right at the edge of my budget but feel it was worth it to have a quality watch. Would buy from seller and also from Hamilton again.

Let’s move on to Raymond Weil Men’s Tango Quartz Diving Watch made with toughness in mind. While a typical watch has an average water-resistance index of 50 meters, this watch far exceeds 300 meters, making it suitable for mixed-gas diving. Plus, there is a date display between the 4 and 5 o’clock positions.

Very nice time piece. Better looking in real then on the picture. I loved it. Elegant, yet sturdy. Recommend.

Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 is designed with an all-black dial and embossed cow leather alligator look alike, making it matches with all your outfit. Curious about what’s going on behind the scenes so that the time shown is always accurate? The see-through case-back allows you to peek inside. Functionality marries with sensual design, making this a watch worn to suit any occasion.

Finally, a watch with classic touches that come through in the design was presented at the Montblanc Summit 2. It represents a great balance between tradition and modernity by combining it with technologies such as Android Wear 2.0 operating system Heart rate monitor, fitness tracker, and the list goes on. On top of that, it comes in at under $1,000, so it’s certainly worth a second look.
