for women and today we're goin
g to be
doing exactly that so now it's been a
couple years since i released a video
i wanted to just kind of make a
comprehensive guide in 2021
looking at a variety of different price
ranges from more attainable watches all
the way up to luxury watches
and kind of touch on all different just
price segments as we're going about this
now when i cover watches on this channel
i definitely just covered the watches
for the watches sake and i think many of
the watches i cover
would also look very suitable for women
as well so that's going to kind of
follow suit here
in regards to the watches are going to
be recommended i think some of these
just designs of some of the brands
throughout are so on the nose of just
being just like overly feminine just to
like
be appealing to some type of demographic
or what they think is going to be
appealing to a demographic
in this case we're just going to be
looking at some awesome watches that i
think would just be great
recommendations
if you're just looking for specific
watches in different categories and
different styles so going to make this
as comprehensive as
possible a couple other things to
mention before we jump into this video
a lot of the watches mentioned in this
list we have full in-depth reviews of so
i can link to those down below if you
want to delve in
a little bit deeper and get some more
information we also have a list playlist
on our channel where we go through
different like lists and price
as well as just building collections
with a specific budget so those would
probably be helpful if
you're just trying to get an idea and
just your research and using those as a
jumping off point so definitely
recommend those and then also on our
site we have a very comprehensive
set of buying guides and blogs one that
i'll call attention to now is looking at
some of the best automatic watches so
definitely check that out that list is
pretty comprehensive and should be
helpful
in your research but now to begin here
let's look starting up at the more entry
level option
i want to start at the watch that i
think really opened up the
door for brand timex and kind of getting
more in line with
mechanical watchmaking now the version i
want to look at is the timex marlin 34.
now this was the hand winding
option that was originally unveiled as
that first
mechanical watch that timex offered in
quite some time and really again open
the floodgates for more mechanical
watches to come
why i think this is a very just
appealing watch for a variety of
different people out there
is going to be the classic wearing
dimensions and just the versatility that
comes with
the dial itself you're getting these
arabic numerals a variety of different
dial colors to choose from
it's very unassuming and it looks great
in a variety of different circumstances
and environments
34 millimeters is going to be on the
smaller end of things
uh you're also getting a hand wound
movement which you know if you like just
kind of the
simple wear and tear to strap it on
don't have to have that intimate type of
relationship with your watch
this might not be the perfect maybe a
watch for you
but in terms of being i would say dressy
casual watch it would look very good on
the wrist
the timex marlin is a great entry level
watch i think would work very well
and also getting quite a bit of variety
at your disposal if you want to go for
just
different dial options so one of my
favorite dress watches from seiko has to
be the cocktail time
just collection now this is a fan
favorite for many people out there
and i think one thing that many people
don't consider is there are also
alternatives in regards to a smaller
case size option
available so my girlfriend actually has
the srry
cocktail time this has the traditional
kind of rib like finish
on that dial surface very striking i
think it's probably one of the best
looking dials that you're going to find
for the price range but there are a
variety of these different models
available and i don't think many people
consider it
34 millimeters just south of that in
terms of case size
pretty similar wearing dimensions but
also coming on a bracelet which i
wouldn't say is a world beater but
pretty good once you get it sized up
with the pin and collar kind of system
also comes with their 4r35 and their
hard luxe crystals so just to kind of
keep in mind this watch is not going to
be as durable with that hard luxe
crystal you can't buff out scratches the
same way
but in terms of you just want a dress
watch or a casual watch you're not going
to beat around too frequently
i'm gonna be showing is my girlfriend so
it is definitely beaten up and seen
better days but she absolutely loves the
thing and these are just great watches
in this
300 400 range now for the next watch
here we have the jung hans
max bill now there are a few different
variations that you can go with with the
max bill family but
this is a watch that really was an
embodiment of taking a baja
school a designer in max bill and
adapting a watch from
say a wall clock to the wrist and baja's
design is very storied if you're dealing
with any industrial designer they'll be
able to tell you all about or even
architectural design i've done a video
in the past describing with
kind of the methodology around the
production of this piece we're really
all about
now there are the automatic versions
that are going to be slightly larger and
you also have the hand winding versions
i think the hand winding versions are
probably going to be a bit more
appropriate these watches are
they just look great i mean i love just
the simplicity of these watches the
curving of the dome crystal on these
with the kind of
tailing back of the edge of the dial
surface
itself these just kind of pull the eyes
in and there's really nothing else fully
like this
in terms of its effect it has this
bulbous case shape
very wearable on the wrist and really
just that dial real estate and what it's
taking up with that thin
outer bezel it's almost non-existent
you're getting all dial and it just has
a nice presence on the wrist without
being overly ostentatious
now the manual wound version is going to
of course be have to be manually wound
and it is a smaller
watch then though you have to factor in
that this is all dial so it is going to
appear a little bit larger than that
but still is a smaller watch on the
wrist but a good just middle ground and
i think jung hans does this
exceptionally well
of casual wearability from a modern
contemporary perspective
while also being able to play in the
field of just traditional dress
watch as well now when you're talking
value for around 500
even south of a thousand dollars
hamilton makes some of the best watches
out there no question now what is
probably going to be the first stepping
stone when you're getting into hamilton
watches
is going to be the khaki collection now
those are great options as well if you
want something that's a bit more casual
but for something that might be i would
say casual while also getting some
dressier undertones
i want to look at the hamilton
intramatic particularly the champagne
dial now i like this model for a couple
reasons
one is going to be wearability 38
millimeters i think works on a variety
of different wrists out there
it has some good presence without being
just a burden on the wrist when you have
it strapped on
good wearable lug to lug dimensions and
also getting some suitable water
resistance not something you're going to
have to bang around like crazy
but still does the job also getting a
very good swiss movement
inside of here that i think just does
the job but the intramatic just line in
general it has its own design dna that
is very just i would say mid 20th
century in its approach you're getting
no
second hand so it's rather simple that
also is just going to be
representative with the just use of
markers on the dial
very slim markers it's simple uh also
just getting some good just symmetry on
that dial as well and the champagne
color here
i just love this the salmon champagne
color this is something that's kind of
become a bit of a fad as of late but a
fad that i am completely behind and i
almost don't want to be a fad because
i'm all for this dial color and what
it's going for it's got just a great
look to it
and works incredibly well with the
hamilton intramatic layout
next up we have a watch and brand that i
don't think many people will consider as
being
so unisex because this brand is so
synonymous with creating
very robust tool watches but i know from
firsthand experience that
this is something that my girlfriend
absolutely loves i own the zen 556 just
the traditional black
glossy dial just traditional markers and
she hijacked this thing and it's
basically her watch now and quite
frankly it looks better on her than it
does on me so
i don't mind it at all but this is a
watch that is a perfect
everyday watch it looks great with that
h-link bracelet it's over manufactured
200 meters of water resistance it has
this very
just contrasting striking dial that i
absolutely love for that particular
version
but you do have some other variations as
well like the mother of pearl dial which
probably leans a bit more into i would
say
its design rather than just a simple
kind of the tool watch aesthetic you
also have
the blue dial variant as well with the
applied markers and
the lack of a date so quite a few
different variations the wearability on
this one is fantastic though it wears
like a true 38 millimeters which
works on a variety of different wrists
out there that h-link bracelet is very
very good for the money 200 meters of
water resistance so pretty much
every different type of scenario you can
throw at this thing and it is going to
be able to take the beating that's
ridiculous amount of water resistance
for a watch of this category that's more
of just an everyday kind of
pilot field style watch and zinn i think
knocked out of the park with these
watches one of my personal favorites
uh but i don't wear it as much as i used
to because my girlfriend just wears this
thing
all the time now another personal
favorite of mine and i think a great
watch for
i would say both men and women is the
nomos just collection
of dress oriented watches in this two
thousand dollar price range
now the models that i think are the best
representation of this are going to be
the tangente the ludwig
and then also the orion personally i
think the orion is
my favorite of this trio i actually own
one and have loved it for now over five
years it's been a part of my collection
it's just a great contemporary form on
the dress watch
you're getting an alpha manual movement
this is a watch that when you flip it
around
it's going to be probably one of the
best finish movements it's worked off a
pizoo 7001 which is essentially an
edit-based caliber
but nomas has shifted all their
production in-house and producing these
and it just really does look the part
and looks great on this watch
now this is rather minimalist in terms
of what it is going for i think when you
look at these watches some people just
say hey is that daniel wellington at
first glance i've had people say that to
me in the past
and then i show them this and i go that
looks a nice watch but i have no idea
it's kind of a cool just you know
stealthy watch but it looks great
the silhouette of the lugs and the
longer lugs is going to make the
wearability of these a bit larger so
kind of keep that in mind
35 millimeter is going to wear larger 38
millimeters going to wear a little bit
larger so add like a millimeter or two
to the wearing dimensions if you want to
get an idea of the actuals here but
simply put nomas produces some of the
best value for money watches in that
price range of like
2 000 bucks or 1600 bucks for the
starting club models all the way up to
the 5 000
price here i think that is the range and
they just absolutely nail their designs
are not gonna be for everybody but when
they are
for you uh they're absolutely a great
brand to look at so next up on our list
here we have
rado with the rado captain cook 37.
now this is a watch that i just love the
looks of i
also gifted this watch to my girlfriend
in a recent video
she was absolutely enamored with this
thing for so long and for good reason it
is a great looking watch the sizing of
it is perfect from a modern just sports
watch perspective 37 millimeters lug to
lug of 43 millimeters it's gonna wear
pretty true to that if not a little bit
smaller closer to a 36 millimeter case
but this is gonna work great on smaller
wrists that are out there and has a good
amount of presence and also i don't
think
over stretches in terms of being too
showy it's like the perfect balance it
has that ceramic bezel with that glossy
nature to it that's going to catch the
light in a lot of instances 100 meters
of water resistance so you have great
versatility there being able to do a lot
of different water
activities and bring this in the water
with you but some of my other things
that i love about this watch is the
thickness
11.1 millimeters so it's a thin watch on
the wrist for
a diver styled watch also getting that
eda caesar seven caliber inside has an
80 hour power reserve movement
why i love that is you could just put
this down for several days or a few days
and
you know pick it back up and you're all
good to go and i think that is something
that's so overlooked when you're looking
at some of these other watches that have
power reserves typically between like 38
hours and 50 hours to get something like
this in this range
is great to have and also that beads of
rice bracelet when you get it perfectly
sized up there are no micro adjustment
points so that is one thing to consider
in that clasp but it just looks the part
it's slim to the wrist it fits well on
the wrist
my girlfriend absolutely loves hers and
she wears it like every single day this
is probably her favorite watch that she
owns and just wears it all the freaking
time
now to transition into our next watches
i'm going to look at kind of more
traditional rectangular
style cases and the first one is going
to be from michelle so michelle is a
great entry door
into the world of these kind of
rectangular style watches and kind of
that nice
i would say middle ground between
affordability and some of their watches
while also
you know in some cases being a little
bit higher end in other instances
but i see it as a great stepping stone
into some of those really high-end
watches from the likes of like cartier
or jlc
and brands of that type of ilk but these
watches have a variety of different
sizes and different variations
those deco style watches i think are
probably going to be the most synonymous
with i would say the brand and then also
being the best representation
of getting into this design style these
art deco
just inspiration in terms of that
rectangular finish and again just being
a really good stepping stone to getting
into this design style
a variety of different options to choose
from there are again these more
expensive options as well as some more
entry-level options to choose from so
definitely just keep that in mind when
looking at this brand they're owned by
the fossil group so you're getting a lot
of support behind this brand as well and
being a large large brand and well known
in the united states where i am from
uh but just again good stepping stone
into this world of rectangular style
watches
but speaking of rectangular style
watches i think the watch that probably
epitomizes it
is going to be cartier with the cartier
tank
now the cartier tank in terms of the
different variations that you can go for
is it's quite expansive you could go for
the solos you can go for the cartier
tank of the wii which is going to be
kind of the more
higher end mechanical option but most
recently we saw
the introduction of the solar beat tank
which
is cool for two reasons one is going to
be one of the more attainable cartier
watches that you can go for
and then also utilizing solar power to
allow that watch to tick with quartz
oscillation so
high accuracy and then really a carefree
wearing experience
while still keeping that buttoned up
look that comes with the cartier tank
collection cardi is one of those rare
brands that is able to transcend their
product categories and just be known as
a luxury provider
of just amazing goods other options to
look for also is the cartier santos
de cartier which is another fan favorite
and personal favorite of mine a great
unisex watch that could be i think worn
by couples which i always love when you
can just share your watches with your
other significant other but the cartier
tank is a true icon in terms of design
it's well known
and if a watch can be worn by anyone
from princess diana
all the way to muhammad ali i think you
have a design that's going to stand the
test of time to say the least so a brand
recently that has
absolutely been killing it and also
being a brand that i think is fantastic
when you're looking in the world of
say unisex watches or being watched that
can be enjoyed by both men and women
is with aorus now a few different
options to choose from you can look at
the aorus
aquas collection now these are going to
be diver oriented watches so
more sporty in nature which of course
going to be very popular right now
the aqueous is their integrated bracelet
professional dive wash collection
now the model that makes the most sense
for me there are many different size
options that you have at your disposal
you have a 39 and a half millimeter
41 and a half millimeter and 43 and a
half millimeter i would say the 41 and a
half or the 39 and a half would be the
most suitable thing
but i will just say this the aorus aquas
cherry
in terms of the striking dial color and
what this watch is going for
it just is a beautiful watch and it
looks very good on a woman's wrist i
like the look of this one even with it
being a little bit larger with the case
size it's going to wear closer to that
of a 40 millimeter case
whenever i see this watch on a woman's
wrist i just love the look of it
uh it's very sporty 300 meters of water
resistance so very capable in that
regard but that red
just striking dial it's just so vibrant
and just brings in the eyes and that
just pop of color just works so well
within the architecture
of the aquas case but when you're
talking about pops of color
i also have to mention the aorus cotton
candy editions now these are watches
that are very unisex in terms of their
nature they're
in terms of wearability i think they
knocked it out of the park on these 38
millimeters so they're gonna wear pretty
true to that if not slightly smaller
than that
a pretty compact lug to lug distance but
the star of the show here without
question
is going to be the different dials and
also the bronze cases now bronze as a
material is something that is going to
age or patina over time
in a much more expedited manner compared
to that of stainless steel so kind of
keep that in mind but it adds a lot of
character
to the look of the material so touching
just the oils of your skin
as well as maybe water will all kind of
cause this aging process to happen will
create that different level of patina
it makes it more custom to you now this
is going to be a downside for some
people but maybe an upside for
others but also to go in alignment with
that pop of color with the case
is also the different dial options to
choose from these things are
just striking they're fun a lot of
people do not like these but
i think from a unisex perspective these
can be enjoyed by both men and women
the green dial kind of more of a teal
turquoise color you have the blue dial
as well as the pink i think watches at
the end of the day are all about having
fun and these watches i think epitomize
that idea
of having fun speaking of another brand
that absolutely knocks out of the park
when it comes to delivering watches that
can be enjoyed by both men and women
and models that i think will just walk
the line very well it's tutor
now i'm just going to mention three
different models from tudor as i think
just good representations
of being a watch that would be suitable
and look great on a woman's wrist
one will be the tudor royals so this is
kind of their integrated bracelet style
like high horology alternative
that kind of has this like oyster quartz
case has a cool engine turn style bezel
and i think just looks good you have a
variety of different options it's going
to be a bit more polarizing than maybe
the other two here
but certainly a watch to consider also i
want to look at the black bay collection
the two models i want to look at is the
black bait 36
this is kind of the everyday
explorer-esque style watch
from tudor good value as well great
bracelet on these fantastic dial
symmetry and using that black bay dna in
a very compact manner for an everyday
type of watch that can really just take
a beating but my personal favorite here
is going to be the tudor black bay 58 so
i own one of these watches this is
another watch that
my girlfriend hijacks from time to time
i just love the wearing dimensions on
these now tutor for quite some time were
seen as at least in their diver watches
was just being too large kind of having
these slabbed off sides being too thick
too large on the wrist and not offering
any alternatives to that and being 15
millimeters thick that is quite
substantial as they started putting in
their in-house calibers
into these watches but when the
blackberry 58 came out first with that
black guilt dial and then transitioning
to the navy which is my personal
favorite
these absolutely just created a huge
level of enthusiasm amongst just watch
fanatics out there i think for good
reason there are watches that can be
enjoyed by a variety of different people
those who like vintage wearing
dimensions and just want a
dive watch that kind of leans into that
style these have just knocked it out of
the park getting an extended power
reserve on these so you get kind of a
nice
carefree experience nice suitable water
resistance and just the design
and the bracelet i think just works
really well some don't like the riveted
bracelet
i do not mind it at all and don't notice
it at all when i have it on the wrist it
really is kind of hidden when you do
have it strapped on
but these watches are just simply
fantastic a great choice
if you want a dive watch style in a very
wearable package
next up we have long jean and long jean
as a brand is probably one of the best
in terms of
just delivering fantastic value in this
two thousand to four thousand dollar
range
variety of different options to choose
from uh in terms of watches to look at
just to stick with the dive watches
because i think this is something that's
very popular and they probably
epitomize this style better than anybody
else in this price range
i'm going to be looking at the legend
diver 36 millimeters now
this watch comes in a variety of
different options in terms of
dial colors case sizes but the 36
millimeter i think will be the most
appropriate it's going to wear pretty
true to that because
of the style of watch that this is this
is going to be a compressor style watch
so this is a
this design that was famous in the mid
20th century as a way for divers
to be able to time their dives and
because it has an internal rotating
bezel
the whole thought around it was it
couldn't be knocked when you're
underneath the water
so it just created a more secure
experience but in terms of a modern
perspective i think these watches just
look great
they're fun they're different they're
not something you're going to see every
day and the wearing dimensions on the 36
millimeter
are i think very accommodating as well
pretty reasonably thin you are getting a
different movement compared to the
larger
uh case size variant of these so these
are going to be based off of an eda
caliber inside
sapphire crystal and just quite frankly
nothing really else like this
in this price range and also being in an
accommodating case size as well
so one of our personal favorite models
from breitling
is the super ocean collection and one of
the areas where they're also very
accommodating
in terms of case options too and when
you're looking at their entire catalog
the next model we have here is the
breitling super ocean 36.
now my personal favorite here is the
white dial and bezel
this variation i don't have i just seen
it on women's wrist and it just looks
great in terms of what it's going for
white and divers it's just very striking
and it looks really good on the wrist
now this is going to be starting getting
into that luxury category great
alternative to that of the black bay 58
kind of leaning a bit more contemporary
in terms of its approach great wearing
dimensions at 36 millimeters nice
thickness
as well as a nice lug to lug distance on
these as well but
whenever i just see these out in just
the wild i just have always
liked the look of them and i think
brightly just knocked it out of the park
with these they also have their
chronomats that are going to be another
maybe alternative to this that you can
also look at but if you want something
from the dive watch perspective the
super ocean
has to be on a short list next up here
we have omega and omega has probably one
of the most expansive catalogs
of watches that you're going to have at
your disposal almost to maybe a negative
perspective because you just can get
lost in it but one of the model families
that i just want to just key in on
is the omega aqua terra now i think from
a contemporary perspective in 2021
this is one of the best luxury watches
that you're going to be finding out
there
now the model we're going to be showing
here is mostly the small seconds the 38
millimeter aqua terra
i will keep in mind though that there
are so many different variations
of these models and the small second was
just recently introduced as a new
variant
within the aquaterra family getting
suitable water resistance at 150 meters
this is just that perfect
everyday watch you're also getting some
of the best movements in the price
category as well
inside of these watches but just to kind
of keep in mind the aquaterra
has so many different variations and the
one that we're showing here is going to
probably lean a little bit more into
traditional feminine undertones but
there are also different variations out
there that kind of walk a more neutral
ground we've looked at some in the past
these 38 millimeter options i think will
just look great on both a man
or a woman and definitely recommend
checking it out as maybe that one
watch i can take on every scenario with
the aqua terra now as an alternative to
the aqua terra i think you have to
mention
the rolex oyster perpetual 36. now when
these watches the new generation of
these watches were unveiled in 2020
there were some mixed feelings but now a
year later
these watches are some of the most high
watches out there and it's kind of
unfortunate because for starting price
ranges around 5600 bucks
that's at least retail they are pretty
compelling value for rolex they are kind
of that entry door
into the world of rolex watches but the
problem is
because they were so well received they
become increasingly hard to get your
whole
hands on and there are a variety of
different options to choose from you
have these kind of teal blue colors
which
are just fun uh the pinks also have like
that oxblood red or that really striking
red
there are so many different variations
here to choose from and i think rolex
just knocked it out of the park with
these and utilizing color
there's been a lot of brands to follow
suit here as rolex had rolled these out
in the past year
brands just offering up a variety of
different colors as a byproduct of the
success of these there have been many
other brands that have created these
more like pastel
variations of models that they're
creating but the rolex oyster perpetual
if you can get your hands on one
is a great just one and done luxury
watch that can walk the line of casual
wear but also even some dressy
circumstances depending
on what model you go for maybe don't go
for the crazy vibrant colors if that is
the case
now to round out our list here we have
the jlc rendezvous
and i don't know exactly what it is
about these watches but they just are
complete class when you put these things
on the wrist variety of different
options to go for
i like kind of the more traditional more
restrained
variations of these without the crazy
diamonds and things of that sort
so something a little bit more under the
radar and these watches i think deliver
just that high elegance high class
that can be associated with a brand like
jlc now apart from just the watch itself
the finishing on these are fantastic
i will get some close-up macro shots
just to kind of show you what the dial
finishing is like
you're getting these different grain
finishes and striations within the dial
that just looks so good and creates such
an immersive res just experience here
also when you flip the watch over uh jlc
in terms of their manufacture calibers
are the best in the business and some of
the best in the price range
no question if not setting the standard
for the price range this one coming with
that automatic
898a in terms of the movement inside
well finished with a contagion of finish
across the bridges also the gold tone
rotor with that nice engraving of jlc
it just looks fantastic from top to
bottom you're getting an am pm indicator
which is nice and fun but also
i think just has this high end elegance
and opulence associated with it
without being in your face and i think
that is just the epitome
of class on the wrist but alright guys
that is my list of looking at some of
the best women's watches in 2021 i know
