Best Dress Watches Under 200 Reviews

This classic looking watch has a light colored, pale beige watchface (described as a “sunburst” color) and blue hands that display the hour, minute and second. It has Roman numerals and second markers around the dial. There’s also a date display at 3 o’clock.

It features Japanese-automatic movement and is hand-winding, with a power reserve of 40 hours. It’s water resistant to 100 feet (30 meters) which makes it OK for a brief splash of water but isn’t good for swimming or wearing in the shower.

Bulova is a U.S.-based watch company known for producing stylish dress watches, and this one is no exception. It has a round, white watch face with silver hands indicating hour, minute and second. There’s a date display at 3’clock and the number indicators are simple marks. It has Japanese quartz movement.

The case is stainless steel and the band is a croc-textured black calfskin with a buckle closure.

It’s water resistant to 100 feet (30 meters) so it can handle a bit of water but should not be worn swimming or in the shower.

Timex is a popular watch brand, and this version has a somewhat casual look, making Weekender an appropriate name. It’s billed as a unisex watch appropriate for men and women.

It has a brass case with a brown leather strap. The watch face is a deep blue color, and there is a date display at 4 o’clock. 

The watch strap is adjustable and can also be easily changed with Timex’s interchangeable slip-thru straps, available in fabric and leather straps.

It has Arabic numerals and secondary 24-hour military time in a slightly smaller size than the main numbers. There are 3 chronograph markers, 30 minutes down to 1/20th of a second.The entire dial can be illuminated with Timex’s electroluminescent technology known as INDIGLO.

It’s water resistant to 100 feet (30 meters), so it’s ok to splash it but you should not wear it in the shower or to swim.

With a slim and discrete design, this Citizen watch can be integrated into both casual and office scenarios. The stainless steel case and mineral crystal lens give a note of class and style, while the nylon strap talks about durability even in tough conditions. 

The black analog dial features a date window (in the 3 o’clock position) and a three-hand movement with a red sweeping second-hand. The face has Arabic numeral for hour markers and an outer ring for minutes. The entire mechanism is powered by a Japanese quartz movement that charges from natural or indoor light due to Eco-Drive technology (Citizen’s proprietary). This means you won’t ever have to replace the battery on this watch! 

Lastly, the watch is resistant to water (up to 330ft depth), has a textured crown for easy gripping, and luminosity for better view under low-light conditions.

The Parker was, without a shadow of a doubt, created to attract everyone’s attention! The silver-toned link stainless steel strap and case are nicely highlighted and illuminated by the petite rhinestones inset in the bezel and dial. In addition, the watch features an oversized MK logo at the center of the dial without any other embellishments on the face!

As such, every time you move your hand, the rhinestones and the silver tones of this watch will sparkle, putting you in the spotlight. 

Given the minimalist face and the three-hand quartz movement, it is quite clear that this is a fashion watch. Still, it is comfortable to wear as the bracelet features a fold-over clasp with double push-button safety. It’s also resistant to water (around 330ft), but if you want it looking sharp, it’s best to stay away from humid areas. It would look out of place in a gym or on a hike anyways.

Gosasa is a brand known for its beautiful, yet affordable timepieces. Their designs are perfect as a gift, due to the fancy packaging, and are reliable and easy to wear. 

This extremely eye-catching model is part of their special Phoenix collection, which is why it has a golden Phoenix wrapped around the dial. The design on the dial is very intricate and the attention to detail (considering the price) is astonishing. Furthermore, if you look closely, through the long feathers in the tail, you can see parts of the mechanism!

To add to the exquisiteness of the watch, the black fixed dial is adorned with twelve diamond stones, as hour markers. The time is indicated by a self-winding automatic three-hands movement in the same tone as the background. However, the intricacy of the dial and the golden tone of the hands make it a bit difficult to tell the time from the first glance. The eye is immediately attracted by the design of the Phoenix and the hands sort of fade into the background. 

The entire ensemble is completed by the 316 stainless steel gold-plated case and gold-plated two-tone stainless steel bracelet band. 

As such, we consider this amazing design as more of a jewelry timepiece. It looks amazing on your wrist and attracts all the eyes on you. However, it’s such a strong piece that it may not work well with a more casual outfit and other accessories.
