Men’s watches are as much for telling time as they are for making a statement, and they’re the only accessory that a man can truly wear every day.
It’s no wonder that many men enjoy collecting them — picking out different styles to go with different outfits, changing straps to suit specific occasions, and so on.
For example, nylon- and canvas-banded watches are great accessories for weekends, running errands, or grabbing brunch with friends this summer.
They can make your blazers and chinos feel less stuffy on casual Fridays at the office, too.
If this is one type of watch you have yet to add to your collection, have a look at some of our favorites in the slideshow to follow.
