1. Luxury Function
Luxury watches can be more than a piece of jewelery. And functional watches don't have to be clunky and plastic.
One of the biggest trends to come out of 2021 will be the hybrid high fashion, functional watch. These watches look sleek and stylish but they are waterproof, durable, and great for outdoor adventures.
You probably know brands like Bell & Ross for their elegant watches. But did you know they also make one of the best dive watches on the market? Their BR 03-92 has the same modern-looking square design and can also be used up to 300m underwater!
Other luxury brands have joined in on this trend too. Breitling watches, Tudor, and even Rolex now make high-end dive watches for the fashionably adventurous type.
These watches tend to be more comfortable, lighter weight, and durable compared to other luxury watches. Take a look and notice the difference for yourself.
2. Rubber Strap
Watch fashion is changing. And even though the stainless steel or leather are classics, it's time for a change.
Luxury watch designers are now considering rubber watch straps as a way to merge style and approachability. Casio, Gant, and even Ulysse Nardin are now producing a high-end version of the rubber strap watch.
Not convinced?
Take a look at the Ulysse Nardin Mod Maxi watches with rubber straps accented with stainless steel. These watches are worth the price because of their versatility. They can be worn with a full suit or a more casual look.
Don't rule out the rubber strap until you see it for yourself. Luxury, comfort, and versatility - you get it all with this style of watch.
3. Classics Stay Classic
While many watch brands are branching out, others are keeping their classic styles. Minimalistic watches will remain popular into 2021 and beyond.
Sometimes the most noticeable watch is the one that isn't trying to stand out. Keep it simple, and look for the brands that have been in the business for years.
Take a look through the Montblanc Star Legacy collection to see the perfect example. Fashionable, sophisticated, and understated - these watches are anything but boring. They will provide you with a dependable watch that can be worn all seasons.
You can find a more affordable version of classic styles when you look at brands like Ted Baker or Casio. Remember that you don't have to spend a fortune to look good.
4. No Numbers Needed
The most popular women's watches recently are those without numbers at all. The simple, elegant design of the face has no roman numerals or numbers.
Calvin Klein has made more than a dozen versions of women's and men's watches without numbers. This is an everyday watch to add to your collection.
With various colors, band sizes, and watch face styles you will find a no numbers watch face you love. If you're looking for a place to start, consider this Calvin Klein Rise watch. And the best part - it's affordable too!
5. Vintage
Along with the classic, minimalistic design, you will find vintage-style watches making a resurgence too.
Vintage watches in 2021 have styles coming from the 1920s to the 1980s. Casio has a number of trendy vintage watches for women that are worth a look.
Men's watches also have seen a trend toward vintage styles. While each vintage watch has it's own flare many of them share qualities including overall size, shape, and material.
6. Colors
It took quite a few years for the watch industry to catch on to the color trend. There's more than black, white, silver, and blue!
Bold colored watches will continue to be popular in 2021. It will not be hard to find purple, green, or pink watch faces to accent the piece. While this might not be a watch for everyday use, it's a great addition as a statement jewelry item.
You'll also find these bold colors in watch bands, like this Jack & Co Marcello watch in orange.
Replaceable watch bands also allow you to pick and choose the color of the band. This is still a relatively new phenomenon in luxury watches, but it's something to look out for in the next few years.
Many people have gotten used to this ability with the Apple watch and are now looking for the same thing from their luxury watch.
7. Affordable Luxury
The best watch styles used to be available for just those that could afford it. But now the luxury look can be shared for a more affordable price.
With prices starting at just a hundred or two hundred dollars, these watches are perfect for starting a collection.
You can even find luxury brands making more reasonably priced collections to appeal to a new group of consumers. Citizen and Mark Maddox are good brands to start with if you're looking for something that looks expensive but won't break the bank.
No matter what your price point, you can find something stylish that matches your taste and budget.
