It’s that time of year again. Watch lovers around the world and those who are buying gifts for them have no idea what to add to their carts as gift ideas. I’ve put together a small list in multiple price ranges of watches, accessories and other fun stuff that the watch lover (or yourself) in your life might enjoy unwrapping this holiday season. 

A quick note: The Amazon links are affiliate links which will give me a small “finder’s fee” if you end up buying something after clicking the link. This helps support the site.  

Also note that prices change on Amazon all the time – the prices listed below are what they were when I posted this article

Under $100

snxs77

Seiko SNXS77

This is a Seiko 5 model that flies under the radar most of the time. Sporting some Rolex OP/DJ vibes with Seiko’s reliable 7S26 movement, this is sure to be a crowd pleaser that doesn’t break the bank.

Amazon - $89
snkl41

Seiko SNKL41

One of the more well known Seiko 5 models with classic styling and a bright white dial, you can’t go wrong here. Slightly more modern looking than the SNXS77 – the SNKL41 can find a home in any collection.

Amazon - $94
Traska Summiteer 10

Barton Bands

Barton makes my favorite affordable watch straps. I don’t own too many of the leather versions, but the Elite Silicone and Canvas straps are fantastic and come in a multitude of colors.  Perfect for the collector in your life who is constantly changing straps.

Amazon - $20+
edifice

Casio Edifice

Applied markers, 100m of water resistance and a great size – I can’t figure out why this isn’t more popular. I like it so much I might get one for myself. It comes a few dial colors as well, but the prices do vary a little.

Amazon - $48
cleaner

Ultrasonic Cleaner for Bracelets

If you love bracelets like I do, you’ll know how funky they can get after a while. A tool like this is perfect to get all the nooks and crannies clean on your bracelets. DO NOT put your watch in this, only the bracelet.

Amazon - $40
pixi

Manfrotto Pixi Tripod

If you or someone you know takes a lot of watch photos on the go, this might be perfect. Manfrotto makes fantastic tripods (I use one) and this is a great grab and go option that won’t take up a ton of room. Perfect for those coffee house watch photos.

Amazon - $36
ecodrive 100

Citizen BM8180-03E

If you’re looking for a grab and go quartz option or a style that can fit anyone on your gift list, this is a fantastic option. Sporting Citizen’s solar powered Eco drive movement, the wearer won’t need to worry about batteries. While $5 above the limit for this section, I feel it is still worth including.

Amazon - $105
springbar

Bergeon Spring Bar Tool

A necessary tool in any watch collector’s box, a spring bar tool is something you shouldn’t cheap out on. Bergeon makes one of the best ones out there and the tips are easily replaced if they are ever broken.

Amazon - $20

Under $250

blueangels

Citizen BJ7006-56L

Offering a different colorway than the classic BJ7000 – the Blue Angels edition is a real looker. This watch has more features than you can name and doesn’t break the bank. If you’re looking for the classic black version and want to save a few bucks, it is available as well.

Amazon - $243
marlin

Timex Marlin Auto

Timex brought back the Marlin automatic last year and they are all around great watches. Coming in at 40mm with multiple dial options, this can work well as a dressy piece or something more casual. It’s available on Amazon but Timex runs sales sometimes that may make it cheaper direct from them.

Amazon - $249
recraft

Seiko Recraft Chrono

Seiko’s Recraft series aims to bring some vintage styling to modern watches and there isn’t a better example than these two chronographs. Beautiful dial colors combined with a cushion case make for a truly awesome looking watch.

Amazon - $183
Dan Henry 1962 20

Dan Henry 1962

One of my favorite quartz chronographs from this year, the Dan Henry 1962 is a great value and sure to impress the watch collector on your list.  It’s a tad above $250 but worth the extra $10 stretch. If you’re on the fence, make sure you check out my review here.

Dan Henry Direct - $260

Under $500

oceanus

Casio Oceanus

The Casio Oceanus is often looked over when it comes to higher end quartz watches. Packed with features, a nice case size, applied markers, Bluetooth capabilities and a titanium case, this is not a watch to skip over.

Amazon - $433
tough

Citizen Promaster Tough

If you’re looking for a watch that isn’t as aggressive looking as the Victorinox INOX, the Citizen Promaster Tough should be right in your wheelhouse. Designed to be kicked around, dropped and dunked in water this is one of the best beater watches you can buy.

Amazon - $344
The SRPC39 Mini-Turtle is a beautiful watch to look it. Is it the successor to the Seiko SKX?

Seiko Mini Turtle

The Seiko Mini Turtle is one of the best budget Seiko dive watches available today. The sizing is perfect for almost any wrist and it will last a lifetime. Read my review here

Amazon - $350
The silver dial Tissot Visodate on black leather

Tissot Visodate

One of the best ways to get a reliable Swiss watch, the Visodate is option for just about anyone. Classic styling, a robust movement and a great price make the Visodate a fantastic gift idea this holiday season. Read my review here

Amazon - $439
The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical on its excellent stock NATO strap

Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical

My personal favorite for the best weekend watch – the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical is a classic field watch with a great history. It wears thin on the wrist but is comfortable for just about anyone. Read my review here

Amazon - $361
khaki

Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic

If manual wind isn’t your thing or the person you’re buying for doesn’t want to worry about winding it – the automatic version of the Khaki field is a great option

Amazon - $396

Over $500

Seik 5 Sports 5KX JDM 16

Macro Lens

99% of my photos are shot on a macro lens. They aren’t just for super close up images, they are great for general product photography and portraits as well! If you or someone you know is looking for a lens to take photos of their watches with, start here.

Nikon - $597
Canon - $350
Sony - $548
Christopher Ward Trident Mk 3 25

Christopher Ward Trident Mk 3

One of the best dive watches you can buy today – the Chris Ward Trident Mk 3 is a dive watch that can be dressed up or down, comes on a fantastic bracelet and is backed by a great warranty. Read my review here

CW Direct - $895
Monta Atlas GMT 30

Monta Atlas

If you or the person you are buying a gift for is a frequent traveler, look no further than the Monta Atlas. This was my favorite GMT release of 2019 and for good reason. Read my review here

Monta Direct - $1,795
The 38.5mm case on the Sinn 556 is the perfect size for a lot of wrists

Sinn 556

The Sinn 556 has been around a long time and it is still one of the best watches available at the $1,000 price point. Built like a tank with versatile looks, it is a watch you can’t go wrong with. Read my review here

Watch Buys - $1,080

Will has been a photographer for nearly 15 years. Coming from the world of landscapes and architecture, watches were something he never thought he would photograph. In 2018 he founded The Watch Clicker to bring his love for watches and photography together. Photographing watches quickly turned into also writing about watches and the reviews you see today are the product of that evolution. Dive watches and chronographs dominate his collection as he is a die hard tool watch fan. Will believes that you should wear a watch how you want to. Leather on a dive watch? No problem.
