We may rely on our iPhones when we're looking for the time, but that doesn't mean we've stopped wearing watches. After all, they have the same styling power a bracelet or a necklace, and they're practical and efficient, too. If you're looking for The One, you're in luck, because today we've handpicked the best everyday watches you won't have buyer's remorse over.
The beauty in an everyday watch lies in its simple design. It's not overly "trendy" and is typically a more classic, elegant piece that features an easy dial atop a versatile strap, e.g., a sturdy leather band or a chicer silver or gold bracelet. It pairs well with everything, and it instantly elevates any ensemble. Scoop up our favorite timepieces below and never risk running late again.
