Mechanical Preferred Over Smart Watches
- While the tech wearables space has grown, people have become increasingly interested in mechanical watches in the men's watch space.
- Specifically, the focus is on the craftsmanship that goes into making mechanical watches.
- Mechanical watches tend to be preferred over smart watches in the mid to high end of the watch market.
Unique Colors
- In late 2019, it was noted that unique and different color watches would reign in the men's watch space, as consumers become 'bored of the usual'.
- Two key colors in 2019 were rose gold and blue.
- Brands will look to diversify by adding hints of bright color and rainbow and pink gold on metals.
