Pictured: #1. Movado Men’s “Museum” Watch ($500 @ Amazon.com)
No clutter or excess numerals or seconds. This simple and smooth watch from Movado is water-resistant up to 99 feet, features a Swiss quartz movement, and an analog display. The window is synthetic sapphire and the band is made from black leather.
#2. Compatible with both Apple and Android smartphones and tablets, the Martian Watches Notifier Smartwatch ($100 @ Amazon.com) watch notifies when you receive a call, text message, email, or social media shoutout. You can also use it to track fitness stats and — that’s right! — keep time.
Beyond that, the Martian looks pretty damn sharp with its 1.5-inch OLED display with 96 x 16 pixels of resolution and streamlined yet not overpowering presence. It’s tech-classy … which is a style category we may have made up.
