It’s that time of the year, and while it might not feel like it at the moment, Springtime is indeed here. That means it’s time to bust out some lighter straps and brighter dials if you got em. If you don’t, we can help. What makes a good warm weather watch? A case and strap combo that won’t weigh you down when things get a little sticky. You know what we’re talking about. With that said, below find our 4 recommendations to help you tackle the Spring and Summer in style.
The hype-est of all G-Shocks this year is undoubtedly this 6900 released by KITH. We’ve written about it before, but it makes for a perfect summer watch thanks to the lightweight body, the refreshing “sea salt” colorway, and the sub $300 price point. The rubber strap will wick away moisture and the bevy of built in complications will cover any and all of your timekeeping needs.
Seiko has plenty of amazing options for warm weather within their line of Prospex dive watches. This PADI special edition features a welcome splash of color with a blue dial and blue/red bezel. PADI is the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, and it’s right there on the dial, so you’ve got street (sea?) cred built right in. It’s the whole package, and it’s all under $500.
We love this Rolex Oyster Perpetual for Summer thanks to its colorful blue dial that pops in the sunlight, its 36mm size that will disappear until needed, and, of course, it’s sub $3,600 price point. What better than a well price Rolex that has mastered the art of subtlety. Bonus points here for a watch that will work with your wardrobe year round.
The Omega Seamaster “007” limited edition is an obvious choice for Springtime with its white dial, dual colored bezel, and striped NATO strap. It’s a fun watch that catch its fair share of attention with your seersuckers and slides (maybe leave this one in the watchbox when you have to bust out your Sunday’s best).
