Groom Watches
There’s lots of different watch options available and that’s a good thing. But you should pick a watch brand that emphasizes quality and personality. These are some fantastic brands we’d recommend – Citizen, Seiko, TAG Heuer, Bulova, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Orient, Fossil, Tissot, Nixon, Vincero, and Omega. The cost of these hand selected 21 watches range from $80 to $3,500. Most of the watches are affordable and under $500. I mean you don’t want to purchase something that seems cheap or breaks within the first year of marriage. You need to buy something that will last forever. Just like your marriage.
There’s several types of watch cases, including stainless steel, gold plated stainless steel, resin, plastic, and wood. Since this is a special gift for your groom on your wedding day, we suggest you stick with stainless steel or gold plated stainless steel as these types of watches are both durable and stylish. There’s lots of wood watches you’ll find on-line but in our experience these watches are fragile and require special care so they do not break. Stay with what you know and what is durable, stainless steel. Now, let’s see these great watches!
