12 Worthy Watches for Grads or Dads – 2016

Recent grads will be hooked to their mobiles, tablets, and laptops for the rest of their life. But a watch is a ticket to disconnect. You can go off on your own, but know when to be back. Dads could use some unplugged time as well. Meanwhile, Father Time is undefeated, and seeing those seconds physically tick by on your wrist might remind you to really appreciate every moment you’ve got with your kids. That… and watches just plain look good. Congrats to the grads, and kudos to the dads who didn’t just procreate, but are also working hard to be great fathers.

Orient Bambino Version III – $129.00

For the minimalist who still appreciates style. Bauhaus-like design. In house movement. Domed dial and stick hands and indices. Also available in a white, black, or grey dial. 40.5mm diameter without the crown. Just 30m in water resistance, so not something you want to get wet.

Timex x Red Wing Chronograph – $135.00

Because they really do look and feel well above any ol’ Timex. And that Red Wing boot leather strap will break in mighty fine over the next few years. Out of stock at most US retailers, but END. Clothing does have them, and lists them in US Dollars. You will have to shell out for international shipping via Fed Ex ($12) and you’re on the hook for returns. BUT… at you can get one from across the pond.

Skagen Holst Multi-Function – $116.12 ($155)

Seems to make this list every year (well, at least every year since it came out) and for good reason. Slim, sleak, professional… and a bargain. No, Skagen isn’t going to be rock-solid quality, but they’re certainly decent for the price point. Skagen is also a brand that doesn’t evoke feelings of immaturity. Quartz movement. Super slim. Perfectly balanced sub dials give you the day and date instead of the usual cut-out windows at 3 o’clock found on other watches. Full review here. Also available on a light brown strap.

Standard Issue Pilot Mission Timer – $199.98 ($267)
