Style-wise, watches seem to go in and out of favour. For me, wearing a watch every day is a habit. When looking at watches to wear on a daily basis, it’s worth spending a little bit extra for a quality item. For the most part, stick to timeless styles in silver, gold, or rose-gold finishes. Choose a watch that goes with your every day pieces of jewellery. Take a look at the following watches to wear every day.

1. DKNY Ceramic Watch
Price: $242.06 at asos.com
This sleek ceramic watch is a modern interpretation of a classic design. This watch has a ceramic bracelet strap and a silver-tone case with a ceramic bezel. The linked strap and round clock face is a classic watch shape. This watch would look great paired with a minimalist style outfit.
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Rose Gold-Plated Stainless Steel Watch
Price: $225.00 at net-a-porter.com
This chunky rose-gold number is one of my top picks for watches to wear every day. It’s also a great way to add a touch of menswear inspired dressing to your outfit. This watch has a bracelet strap, three sub-dials, and date function. The rose-gold finish is a softer take on more classic yellow-gold watches.
3. Emporio Armani Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch
Price: $357.00 at asos.com
This rectangular watch is a great alternative to those watches with round dials. It is made from stainless steel and has a silver-tone finish. It also has a linked bracelet style band with clip fastening. If you wear silver jewellery then this watch could easily be incorporated into your every day style.
4. Michael Kors Gold-Plated Wrap Chronograph Watch
Price: $225.00 at net-a-porter.com
Watches with leather straps are a timeless choice. This one is given a modern twist in the form of a wrap around strap. The tan leather is complemented by the gold-plated stainless steel hardware. This watch would work well with an effortless outfit of cuffed chinos and striped shirt.
5. Timex Easy Reader Leather Strap Watch
Price: $60.00 at shop.nordstrom.com
When looking for watches to wear ever day, stick to styles that will easily blend into your daily outfits. The combination of rose-gold and white patent leather here is fresh and youthful. It has a round dial with numeric details, has a buckle closure, and is water resistant to 30 metres. The large dial is perfect for those wanting an easy-to-read watch.
6. Guess Black Mini Spectrum Watch
Price: $225.00 at asos.com
This all-black watch looks very sporty. It has a plastic link strap, round frame, and multi-function dials. It is a fairly chunky design and very noticeable. That said, the all-black colourway of this watch could easily complement a range of every day outfits.
7. Skagen Ladies’ Leather Strap Watch
Price: $95.00 at shop.nordstrom.com
Some people probably prefer petite watches to wear every day. This watch has a slim, minimalist design. It’s also a more up to date take on the classic leather strap watch. It has a brushed chrome dial and Swarovski crystal indexes.
While most of these watches are well over the $200 mark, the cost per wear would be quite reasonable if you wear them every day. Many of these watches also come in a range of finishes, so there’s bound to be something to suit your personal preferences. Which of these are your favourite watches to wear every day?
