Mens Wrist Watches

For many men, the closest they will ever come to putting on jewelry is wearing a wrist watch. Striking a balance between form and function, these handy accessories ensure that you'll always know the time, but they also often provide a range of other features. Here at Walgreens, we have a wide selection of both analog and digital men's wrist watches so that you can easily find the one that suits you best.

Analog vs Digital Watch

The most basic decision you'll need to make when shopping for a men's wrist watch is whether you prefer digital or analog. Both varieties have their own pros and cons when it comes to style and functionality.

What Is an Analog Watch?

Analog watches typically look a little more formal and some men wear them for fashion reasons. Usually equipped with metallic or leather bands, these watches exude style and class. They use technology that has helped keep track of the time for centuries--which is still as effective today as it's always been. The main downside to analog watches is that they take a little more thought to read than digital versions. Types without individual marks for each hour, in particular, might be a little more difficult to decipher. Most analog watches also aren't equipped with more advanced features like a stopwatch, timer, alarm, etc.

Considering a Digital Watch

When digital watches first came on the scene several decades ago, they quickly made a splash because of how versatile they are. Most watches--even the most basic models--keep excellent time using the miniscule computers found within them. They also have a variety of features and settings that increase their overall functionality. From setting alarms that will help you wake up on time to using the chronograph-like stopwatch and/or timer functions for daily activities, you'll find that a digital watch is endlessly useful. Many are water-resistant to help avoid damage in wet conditions. While some digital watches are designed to be more formal, most are made for casual use. They feature rubber or plastic watchbands that are great for wearing to the gym but might clash with a fancy suit.

No matter what type of men's wrist watch you prefer, it's easy to find the perfect style here at Walgreens.
