These are this autumn's watch trends

Autumn has really started and with a new season, new watch collections for fall are coming in. This year we see a few surprising watch trends passing. What is striking is that more and more eco-friendly watches are appearing on the market. Of course, the development around smartwatches continues to expand. But the surprise of this season is that we see a lot of colour again. In watch cases, straps and overall look , for ladies, but also for men! Below we show you a few of our favourites.

Watch trend 1: Sustainably produced watches

What started a couple of years ago with a few watch straps made from recycled PET bottles is now really starting to become a major trend in the watch world; Watches sustainably produced from more sustainable materials.

For example, Swatch has recently expanded their collection of BioCeramics watches. A new sustainably produced plastic of natural origin that feels cool and soft like ceramic. And brands such as Skagen Naturals and Fossil Pro-Planet increasingly use recycled stainless steel. That saves a lot of raw materials and energy!

All watches that are produced with an eye for the environment in our collection can be found on our page 'Eco-friendly watches'.

Watch trend 2: Your smartwatch tailored to your needs

The developments around smartwatches are not standing still. Smartwatches are getting smarter. But we also see a cautious move in the other direction: because a touchscreen watch is sometimes difficult to operate while, for example, you are running or wearing gloves, various brands are now releasing 'button operated' smartwatches. Sometimes in combination with an e-ink screen. A major advantage of this - in addition to the ease of use - is that the battery lasts longer. You find this, for example, with the Polar Vantage, Garmin Instinct or Skagen Hybrid.

On the other hand, many 'regular' watches are becoming smarter; We see more and more brands of Bluetooth connected watches where you synchronize the collected data with an app on your smartphone. Such as the Festina Chronobike Connected (F20547/1), the limited G-Shock Full Metal GMW-B5000TR-9ER, the GBD-100SM-1A7ER sports watch or the Casio Edifice ECB-S100DC-2AEF chronograph.

So whether you want to be completely 'smart' all day long or mainly want to use your smartwatch for a specific purpose in addition to your everyday watch(s), there is plenty of choice on our smartwatch page. Need help choosing? Then read this blog.

Watch trend 3: Colour, colour, colour

The most eye-catching trend of this fall is colour, colour, colour. And not just for women, where we have traditionally always seen more colour in the watch collection. There is now also plenty to choose from for men!

Blue

A watch color that is not very surprising, and a permanent force in many watch collections: blue. And also this season it is one of the most important and often seen colours in the watch world. This is of course not surprising, because whether you want to casually combine your watch with jeans, or go to a chic dinner; Blue never lets you down and can be combined endlessly.

This season you will see a lot of blue in the collections of, among others, Armani Exchange and Maserati. But Tommy Hilfiger watches such as the Carter 1791911 and the Swarovski Octea Lux 5563480 are also completely in this season's trend colour: blue.

Green

Last spring you could already see that natural shades such as brown, but especially green, were on the rise. The world is becoming more aware of “green” living and this literally translates into fashion. The colour green can also be found a lot in the new watch collection this autumn. Whether you go for a chic emerald green or prefer a cool army shade, the new collection has it all.

Take for example, the new watches from Emporio Armani or Fossil, with army-green dials. Garmin has also released a green and unforgettable watch with its 010-02395-00 model. Chic with a cool edge and smart too! The special limited 'Ginza' watches from Seiko that will be available soon have a subdued teal color.

Red

Red; the colour of love and strength is back. For a number of years, most brands (with the exception of Diesel) put red on the back burner. But this season, red is back in all shades: go for luxurious burgundy or go for striking fire-engine red.

This season, Danish Design has a beautiful burgundy ladies watch with a luxurious look that is great as a gift that radiates passion. Looking for a striking men's watch in this trend colour? Then take a look at one of the Ferrari watches in the characteristic red colour. And Pulsar has embraced the red trend with its PG8335X1 men's watch without shouting it from the rooftops.

Pink

Feminine, romantic and lovely is often the description given to pink. However, we often see pink with an edge in the autumn collection. For example, Ice watch combines sweet pink with sporty. With the unisex watch GE290, Swatch makes pink accessible for men and Citizen has created a women's watch with the EM0922-81X model that exudes classic elegance.

All the colours of the rainbow

Is one colour not enough for you? By continuously developing techniques with which steel and even titanium can be tinted, it is possible to make exuberantly coloured watches. For daredevils only! Such as the Casio A1000PRW-1ER, or the Guess GW0044L1. In a higher price range, but a limited Swiss quality watch, the Maurice Lacroix EL1118-PVP01-090 is another example of a colourful watch.

We can also expect some colourful surprises from G-Shock this autumn. Like the purple GMW-B5000PB-6ER. But more about that in a next blog…
