11 best men's watches to buy for birthdays or anniversary gifts: Diesel, Casio and more

We’re noticing a revival in analog and chronographic watches lately.

Given how most of us tend to check the time on our phones or laptops, watches might seem like obsolete accessories. However, any stylish man knows that a wristwatch is a classic statement piece. Smartwatches like Apple and Samsung have dominated our wrists in the last few years. However, we’re noticing a revival in analog and chronographic watches lately.

While we love our smartwatches, it’s easy to feel bogged down by the number of notifications we get, especially when we’ve set it up to mirror the notifications on our phones. The Apple Watch, for example, often lets us know when we’re not moving or standing enough, which, while useful in keeping us active, can leave us feeling slightly anxious about not doing enough.

That said, it’s easy to see the appeal of more old-school watches. Thinking of getting a birthday for yourself or you've stumbled upon this article in search of an anniversary gift? We’ve recently found the best watch deals from various retailers on Shopee Malaysia below.
