Buying a minimalist watch is high up the accessory shopping list for men. The immense popularity comes from the style's understated ability to easily partner with a broad selection of smart or casual outfits, meaning it is a watch you can rely on daily.
Your typical luxury watch adorned with large pushers, dials and multiple face elements comes at a greater price. Buying into that 'look' with a sub £200-£500 watch can be a little tacky. We recommend sticking with a timeless style like a minimalist watch to get you an affordable but classic timepiece that will never go out of fashion.

MVMT has been catapulted to the forefront of well-priced minimalist watches since their fairly recent inception.

Timex has built its reputation on dependability and reliability, which is present in every watch they build.
