The Best Amazon Watches for Men in 2025, Reviewed by Style Editors

It didn’t take much time in the field to see why this is currently the best selling men’s watch on Amazon. Collectively, we’ve owned and tested countless Timex watches and the Expedition Scout sums up everything we love about the brand. For starters, the field watch design will compliment everything in your closet. The case is sturdy and the NATO strap is comfortable. What stands out the most is the clutch Indiglo feature that lights up the watch face when you press down on the crown.

Whether we were standing in direct sunlight or hiking in a shady spot, the face was clear and legible. In addition to the big, bold numbers, the luminous hands makes it way easier to use than fumbling around for your phone in the dark. And when our testers got caught in some drizzle, it didn’t impact the watch at all, which speaks to its level of water resistance.

Pros

• Blends vintage design and durability
• Provides additional visibility in darker environments
• Battery expected to last (up to) 7 years before needing replacement

Somewhat of a cult following has developed around this old school Casio in recent years, based on retro vibes and accessibility. The design has remained pretty much unchanged since the 1980s and, remarkably, so has the price. Our biggest takeaway was that the small size and weight—coming in at 32 mm and 58 grams total—provides lightweight-but-still-stylish jewelry for your wrist. On top of that, this watch comes with a battery that lasts up to seven years before it needs a replacement.

Believe it or not, Amazon often has discounts that you won’t find in stores on Apple products including over-ear headphones and watches, along with fast shipping options. Take the Apple Watch Series 10—a thinner, lighter model compared to its predecessor. This latest version has the biggest display yet with a brighter display, enhanced fitness and outdoor tracking, noise reduction for clearer convos, and even sleep apnea detection.

We found the apps run a lot faster, the battery doesn’t die quickly, and everything is so much easier to use with improved Siri responsiveness. Our testers have taken it on a spin during rowing and kayaking adventures where the watch delivers more accurate calorie burn estimates and stroke counts. It also tracks distance, pace, and heart rate in real time, so you can really optimize performance.

Perhaps you’re in the market for something that’s a little more discreet yet elegant—in that case, Movado has you covered. Sporting the Museum dial, which features a single dot at 12 o’clock representing the sun at high noon, this minimalist design makes it perfect for both formal and casual fits. It has a thin profile and black leather strap, which sits comfortable against the wrist without feeling bulky or intrusive (and can slip under a shirt cuff). The stainless steel case is polished but not too heavy, so it won’t weigh you down during long wear.

Beyond the impressive specs, the Movado Museum Classic holds a place of great cultural significance. It’s part of a larger collection that’s showcased at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, transforming it from merely a timepiece to a true icon of design history.

Looking to get into automatic watches for the first time? A good place to start is the Seiko 5 Sports line. Seiko has a heritage and reputation on par with the best watchmakers on the planet. We love the SSK003 because it has a look that means business and delivers serious tool-watch energy without feeling overbuilt. You can wear it on a dive boat, a rooftop bar, or extravagant gala—it’s that versatile. At 42.5 mm, the stainless steel case and bracelet have some presence on the wrist, but it’s not overly heavy.

The construction is fully functional for diving and the movement is a workhorse that can last for decades. Our favorite detail is the unique blue and black bezel with a bold red fourth GMT hand on the dial, which brings the perfect smidge of character. It’s not just there to turn heads though—it’s super easy to read, so you can keep track of time on the go without missing a beat. Plus, it has a date calendar for a bit of extra organization.

Powered by natural or artificial light, Citizen’s field watch is incredibly low-maintenance, thanks to its eco-friendly technology. In other words, you save the hassle of having to switch out batteries every once in a blue moon. We also love the military-inspired design, which features a strong, stainless steel case and a durable, leather strap that feels light as a feather and rests comfortably on the wrist.

We have to acknowledge this watch’s style versatility, too. Our fashion editors have gone the whole week with being able to pair it with various fits. They’ve opted for the casual route, wearing a crewneck long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of black jeans for drinks at the beer hall. But when they want to step it up a notch for date night, they’ll throw on an oxford button-down with tailored chinos.

When we think of field watches, the Hamilton-Khaki Field is the first name that comes to mind. It’s the best one we’ve tested while out in the wild. On a camping trip, we saw firsthand how well it works—when the fire died down, the watch stayed bright and legible, so we didn’t need to reach for a flashlight. Designed to mirror the 1960s soldier watch, it nails that balance between functional and fashionable, so you can rock it during an outdoor adventure with rugged attire or at your favorite dinner spot, wearing a dressier fit. Either way, it’s made for everyday wear.

What’s also impressive: The 80-hour power reserve, which will keep it ticking for over three days without needing to be wound or worn. At 38mm, it’s compact and classic, sitting gently on your wrist without feeling too bulky. Perhaps, if you want something even more low-maintenance, Hamilton dropped a quartz version of the KF last year, which keeps all the style of the original but with the convenience of a quartz movement at a more affordable price.

Dive enthusiasts and water sports aficionados will especially find this watch practical given its high-performance functionality. That’s because the ticker has 200-meter water resistance and a rotating bezel that tracks elapsed time. Plus, the screw-down crown ensures the watch stays secure and water-tight. Performance aside, it’s a thing of beauty, donning a sleek three-hand green dial and silver-tone stainless steel bracelet. After all, this version pulls inspiration from the 1970s “Devil Diver”, which is also known for its unique styling and colorful accents.

Yes, it’s a great fit for anyone who enjoys scuba diving, snorkeling, or swimming. However, we also found its durability and readability makes it a great option for hikers and campers. Also, since it’s an automatic watch, it powers itself through your movement, so you no need to worry about a dead battery while you’re off the grid.

If you’re looking for a work and formal watch that’s rather subtle (and affordable), check out The Minimalist from Fossil. Take it from us—we’ve worn it while sitting in meetings and sipping cocktails at a dinner party, and it’s perfect for both. It wears a little big with a 44mm case, but we found it’s ultra-thin and felt very light on the wrist despite that size—comfortable enough for an every-day timepiece.

While it can handle some light water exposure—like recreational swimming or showering—it’s not built for anything extreme like diving or snorkeling. On the bright side, the hardened mineral crystal adds a layer of durability, making it resistant to scratches, so it keeps its clean, fresh look even after daily wear. Overall, the watch is made for everyday, comes at a reasonable price and the low-key design doesn’t jump out at you—basically, a clear winner.

Wearing an Speedmaster with a great fitting suit was the closest we ever felt to impersonating James Bond. While it’s not the exact model (that would be the Omega Seamaster), this version shares the same luxury, high-performance appeal, but with three sub-dials—perfect for timing events or activities like races, workouts, or even cooking.

As for water resistance, this watch can handle being submerged up to 100 meters (about 330 feet), so it’s beyond splash-proof. This level means it’s great for snorkeling, swimming, and even shallow diving without any worries. We found the chronograph might be a little tricky to slide under tight or narrow dress cuffs, but it’s not insanely bulky either. All in all, it’s a watch that says you’ve got taste, but also the durability to back it up—perfect for someone who’s always on the move, just like 007.
