Ageless beauty comes in many forms; it can be organic, artistic, and even abstract. There are also very few occasions where watchmakers create sophisticated and classic designs that turn into legendary timepieces, remembered for years to come. Japanese culture may have influenced some of the designs on this list, but overall, it is relative to the consumers on what type of watch fits their taste.
Horology has never been so diverse before; technology has evolved to the point where wearing a tiny piece of machinery on your wrist can immediately raise your standards of being an enthusiast to a horologist. This may sound cliche, but an individual’s taste in watches will also reflect the knowledge and expertise of studying horology. If you’re serious about it, this list will help you take a step in that direction.

Casio G-Shock “Frogman”
The G-Shock family of watches has saturated the market for a long time, and that’s not saying its a bad thing as the brand is reliable and affordable for most of the consumers out there.

This version of the popular Edifice series features a luxurious appeal with a dark brown strap made of leather with white stitching.

Connectivity is also a breeze as it can be paired with your phone to give notifications and more reliable information on time.

Telling the date and time is the only feature you can get along with a water-resistance up to 200 meters.
Casio PAG240-1CR Men’s Pathfinder
The Pathfinder may be a little more than your average budget for a G-Shock but comes with a host of other features that make for the price difference.

Thirty-one different time zones, a barometer, an altimeter, and an auto-calendar make for a convenient adventure companion.
