Best Nickel Free Watch Reviews

The Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Watch comes from one of the most renowned watchmakers in the business. This model, in particular, hones in on the eco-friendly nature of modern watch technology.

Using a solar-powered battery, there is no longer any need to replace the battery over and over again, making it super eco-friendly.

Crafted using stainless steel and sapphire watch crystal, this watch ensures that users can enjoy ultimate durability and scratch protection for as long as the watch is in use.

With a brand name you can trust and some of the best materials on the market, this watch is a timepiece that is one of the utmost luxury and style.

As you would expect from an established watchmaker like Seiko, we found this titanium watch to be a great quality piece.

The design is classic, elegant and timeless, and it’s going to look as good with formal wear as it will with jeans and T-shirt.

It’s quite small in both weight (thanks to the titanium) and size, with a case that’s 37mm in diameter and 8mm thick.

Offset by the blue dial are luminescent markers and hour, minute and second hands.

A nice addition to the dial is the day and date display at the 3 o’clock position, though this watch doesn’t have a perpetual calendar so you’ll have to make a manual adjustment for months without 31 days.

Overall, this is a stylish choice for someone looking for a quality but fuss-free watch for everyday wear.

This Casio watch is incredible value for money, offering sporty style at a bargain price.

It has a resin case and strap so it’s not constructed in the most luxurious of materials, but it is robust enough for everyday wear and is water resistant to 100m so can even be worn in the pool or the shower.

It has an analog display and white numerals stand out boldly against a black dial, with both 12- and 24-hour markers.

There are luminescent hour, minute and second hands so the display is easy to read at a quick glance. A day and date display at the 3 o’clock position is a nice added feature, as it’s the bi-directional rotating bezel.

As it’s a sports watch it would have been nice to include a stopwatch, but at this price we definitely aren’t complaining.

This watch doesn’t feel like the highest-quality piece but it’s a reliable and durable choice of budget watch.

It’s the unique and striking design which is likely to attract you to this Swatch Sistem Notte 51 watch.

The face has an unusual black and blue sunburst design, edged by a blue bezel, and sits on a black silicone strap.

There are six small red dots placed on the face, which are there to represent movement components. The hour stick markers around the edge of the dial are also red-tipped, making them stand out clearly.

Hour and minute hands are tipped in white, which gives them contrast against the face, although the rest of the hand is black which can disappear into the dial.

A date display at the 3 o’clock position is a useful feature. If you flip the watch over, there’s an exhibition back so you can view the movement at work.

This Swatch model is good quality but there are no major bells and whistles – ultimately whether you feel it’s worth the price tag will come down to whether you’re a fan of the design.

If you’re looking for an intelligent smartwatch, this Ticwatch E model could be the answer. Looking first at the design, this is a typical smartwatch with a chunky case, large OLED display and a silicone strap.

But we suspect it’s the features not the appearance that will win you over, as this watch is compatible with iOS, Android and Google Assistant, opening up a wealth of applications for you to choose from.

You can track your exercise using your favourite fitness apps, and there’s a heart rate monitor to see how your body performs during your workouts.

Built-in GPS allows you to both navigate and track your route on runs and cycles, and you can listen to Google Play music as you go.

Syncing this device with your smartphone will also mean you can receive notifications on your wrist, but some of the best features – such as the ability to answer a call from the watch – are only available to Android users.

This watch is competitively priced, too, so we think it’s a great all-rounder.

This Huawei watch offers a great compromise for people looking for the performance of a smartwatch with a classic design.

The stainless steel case and mesh strap mean that at first glance, this looks like a regular analog watch.

However, investigate more closely and you’ll find that the traditional appearance is concealing a broad range of the latest features.

Talking of appearances, there are a range of pre-installed watch faces for you to choose from, and the strap is also easy to swap if you want to.

The AMOLED display is clear and sharp and this watch has touchscreen operation.

It’s compatible with both Android and iOS (though some features are limited with iOS) and you’ll be able to access over 4,000 apps.

Notifications can also be delivered straight to your wrist. If you want a device that can give you fitness tracking, a heart rate monitor, apps and more and yet still looks like a ‘regular’ watch, this does it all.

This Nine West timepiece is a perfect choice for someone looking for a fashionable accessory to wear anywhere.

The functionality is basic – this watch simply tells the time, with no extra features – but it’s the style which gets your attention.

The dial in grey tones is half matt and half in a sunray effect, and perfectly offsets the rose gold stick hour markers and simple hour, minute and second hands.

The bezel and crown are also rose gold, and the case sits on a silver metal strap.

We noticed that some wearers found the strap sizing on the large size, but it was fine for us.

There’s an extender link if you need to increase the standard length.

This is a no-frills watch in many respects, but the attractive design makes it look far more expensive than its bargain price point. Just one note of caution – it’s not water resistant, so be careful not to get it wet.
