Digital Watches - What To Buy The Gadget Lover This Christmas!

Christmas is that time of year where grown men across the globe pretend that they really did want another pair of socks or pants. You may have unknowingly fallen for the “we don’t want anything” line but really we are still big kids and want the new shiny toy on Christmas morning.

Today, I am concentrating on the Gadget Guy. You know the type; he has all the latest gadgets, loves technology and can fix any computer for you within 5 minutes (no – not by just turning it on and off!). His ideal watch would be something digital or slightly retro and a bit ‘geeky’. So here are my picks for the gadget guy this year.

CASIO GOLD DIGITAL WATCH A168WG-9EF

So let’s start with what is my all-time favourite digital watch. The simple Casio watch is iconic in both style and shape, and guys who are into their gadgets would have owned at least one of these throughout their lifetime. This gold version is the perfect retro accessory that is effortlessly ‘cool’, with its gold body giving it more of a vintage aesthetic.

STYLE TIP: This truly versatile timepiece would look great teamed up with a tweed blazer to really hit the heritage trend, or equally as good paired down casually with a quirky graphic tee and some chinos.

Let’s not forget those all important features that the gadget guy desires: a stopwatch, alarm, 2nd time zone and backlight give this timepiece enough to keep them entertained at all times.

CASIO ORANGE DIGITAL WATCH F-91WC-4A2EF

This Casio watch is perfect for those guys who love their fashion just as much as their technology. The design of the watch is similar to the Gold Digital Watch A168WG-9EF we’ve seen previously but this style has been given a modernised twist by utilising a bold striking orange hue – THE key autumn/winter colour trend within fashion this year.

This playful design includes many of the sought after features we’ve come to expect from Casio watches, such as an LCD display, stopwatch, alarm, backlight, chronograph and water resistance to 30 metres. Being constructed from plastic means you don’t have to worry about knocking or scratching the surface - perfect for those younger guys who are always on the move.

G-SHOCK ROUND BLACK DIAL GREY DIGITAL DISPLAY MEN'S SPORTS WATCH

G-Shock is world renowned for their durability, creating watches that can withstand just about anything you can throw at them – in that respect they are the ultimate boy’s toy. If your man is a gadget lover, then he is sure to have heard of this sought after brand.

This particular watch has features you probably never even knew existed. For a start it is solar powered – yes, you read that right - so you will never need to worry about changing the battery! It also features a unique three-layer structure twin sensor to measure altitude, barometric pressure and temperature, and offers the most accurate time possible by utilising wave captor technology via radio signals from 6 regions across the world. Impressive, huh?

This timepiece really does do everything you could ever possibly ask for from a watch, and would impress even the keenest gadget connoisseur.

DIESEL DSL WHITE DIGITAL UNISEX WATCH DZ7201

This diesel watch follows a much more futuristic design – it could easily have just touched down on the Starship Enterprise! With sharp angled edges and box like styling, it would be perfect for those guys who love their Sci-fi or want to stand out.

Constructed using a white plastic strap and featuring a cool black matte IP sliding facade over the digital display, it has a very sleek and minimal appearance. Although this watch is not packed with features, the futuristic design definitely sets it apart in an effortless way.

GUCCI I-GUCCI COLLECTION ROUND GUN METAL PVD DIGITAL MEN'S FASHION WATCH

 

This Gucci watch is ideal for gadget lovers who like designer labels and always need to have the very latest and best gadgets on the market.

The name sets the tone immediately for this timepiece – ‘I-Gucci’ even sounds like something a gadget lover would own! This innovative design features a circular steel case face with striking contrasting blue digital display. Constructed using a grey gun metal PVD-coated steel case, this watch wouldn’t look out of place on James Bond – making it ideal for those who want the latest tech, and to look the part. The watch also benefits from being scratch resistant, and to top it all off, is able to display a second time zone.

The strap itself is constructed from a blue rubber and houses the all important Gucci branding, which is a label that is bound to garner attention and envy from their peers.
