There’s no shortage of affordable, minimalist watches these days. Even the larger brands that used to only deal in the mechanically absurd and technically impossible have taken notice of this new niche and tried to craft their own offerings. Few of them deliver like the monochromatic offerings that are the TID No.1 Watch. One watch has a black face paired with white hands and numbers. Playing yang to the other’s yin is a white face with black numerals and hands. Both are housed in a black ion plated stainless case, powered by a Japanese Quartz movement and hold on to your wrist with the assistance of the included woven nylon NATO wristband. If watches are in fact obsolete, someone forgot to tell the designers at TID.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
