The sports watch occupies this interesting middle ground in men’s style where it’s simultaneously more casual than a dress watch and yet somehow still commands significant attention and signals certain things about the person wearing it. We’ve watched guys at meetings derail entire conversations just by having an interesting watch on their wrist which tells you something about how much people unconsciously notice them. What we love about a good sports watch is that it works with more outfits than you’d expect. Obviously it works with casual stuff and weekend clothes. But a clean sports watch with a simple dial works just as well with a navy suit as a more formal option if you’re not going to something with a strict dress code. The key is keeping everything else clean and intentional around it. A sports watch on a sloppy outfit just looks incongruous. On a well put together one it adds a confident practicality that works really well.
