Looking for one of the best watches for men at an affordable price? Launched in mid-September, the GT 5 is Huawei’s most recent watch model, and it’s available in two main options—a large and small version. For starters, the large standard Huawei GT 5 model features a 36 mm AMOLED display screen, while the small one is equipped with a 33mm display screen.

When the exterior casing is factored into the design, the small standard GT 5 timepiece measures 41 mm, and the larger one measures 46 mm. Featuring an octagonal-shaped bezel with 5-minute interval markings, the 46mm standard option is large due to the extra bezel features.

Since the 41 mm variant doesn’t come with 5-minute interval markings, it’s slimmer and lighter than other timepieces in this series and can comfortably sit on the wrist without taking too much space. While the bezel of the small GT 5 is slim, it has an elegant pattern that complements its design.

Apart from that, the 41mm variant offers a wide variety of strap options, which are manufactured from leather, plastic, and woven fabric. Blue and black hues characterize plastic straps, while leather straps are brown in color.

Just like the 41 mm standard variant, the large standard GT 5 model also comes with different straps—a nylon strap, a composite leather strap, and a woven strap. Thanks to GT 5’s easy-fit design, the straps can be easily interchanged based on the user’s preferences.

In terms of performance, this timepiece features health-related functionalities that are quite effective in improving breathing patterns and tracking exercises.

As a brand that’s popular for its prolonged battery usage, Huawei always rolls out watch models with superb battery performance, such as the GT 5. The large 46 mm model has a battery that can last for seven days. However, the battery that’s fitted in the 41 mm timepiece retains power for five days.

Available on the official Huawei eCommerce store and other authorized dealers, the GT 5 watch model retails at $255 to $300.

Garmin upgrades the solar functionality on the new Instinct 3
New Garmin Instinct 3 is more powerful
Garmin Instinct 3

Garmin presents the new Instinct 3 collection of tactical watches with advanced tactical functionalities to enhance the user experience. It features three watches—a 45mm solar version, a 50 mm solar option, and a 45 mm AMOLED piece. The solar variants are designed to offer unlimited battery power to tackle the toughest outdoor expeditions. A bigger screen means more surface area for solar energy.

While the battery goes a long way in providing an enhanced user experience, the watch’s durability is also quite crucial, so the brand upgraded the bezel and reinforced it for multiple activities. The solar functionality is also more powerful than that featured on the previous model. It’s about five times more efficient than the Instinct 2 feature.

Christopher Ward C12 Loco

The new Christopher Ward watch will take your breath away with its striking color accents and mechanical look. It is based on one of the most sought-after flagship models, the Twelve. The latest addition leans towards the open-dial design and is highlighted by a spectacular view of components featured in the watch’s heart.

According to Christopher Ward, the movement was developed to sit in the new watch and make it look more stylish. The brand’s first-ever movement was rolled out in 2014, so it’s now raising the bar with a second in-house caliber—the brainchild of Feller Pivotages SA, a talented escapement developer. Designed to keep up with the times, the caliber CW-003 is quite powerful with a 144-hour power reserve.

Timex revives a 1970s classic with a modern twist in new Bespoke Post collab
A modern interpretation of the Viscount collection
Timex x Bespoke Post

Timex's latest field watch is inspired by a collection of watches known as Viscount, which dates back to the 1970s. It was quite popular in the good old days and was the go-to for the Australian National Railway. This time around, the brand partnered with Bespoke Post to make the watch more stylish and durable, keeping up with the times. While the brand rolled out large models inspired by Viscount in the past few years, the latest addition has a 36 mm casing—the new modern size.

Given that Bespoke Post focuses on outdoor gear, it had a big influence on some of the materials featured on the new watch. Apart from the small casing, the watch is paired with a new Cordura strap, a material that can be easily styled to fit multiple spaces. It can also take on everything that’s thrown its way.
