Our Favorite Summer Watches Under $2,000

Read Feature ›

While we might still be in the throes of Spring (which anyone with seasonal allergies will confirm), I myself am already anticipating the Summer season ahead: day trips to the beach, long warm days lazing like a lizard in the sun, and a rejuvenating staycation or two.

There are a few key ingredients when it comes to selecting a go-to wrist companion to wear throughout the season: it needs to be more than splash-proof, able to take a bit of a beating, versatile enough to wear straight from the pool to dinner, and, ideally, at a price point that won't break the bank. So, giving myself an imaginary budget of $2,000, I've rounded up a great starter pack of watches that meet (and surpass) this criteria with ease below for your viewing pleasure.

Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver

Unimatic Modello Uno 300m Pro-Diver U1S-PD3

WEEKLY SHOP BRIEFING
