Is it possible to combine classic style with modern technology? While you may enjoy elegant and timeless styles, it’s also easy to understand the appeal of modern smartwatches. But this ultimately poses a dilemma: does your watch match the rest of your outfit? While smartwatches are often associated with modernity and innovation, fortunately, there exists a niche for those seeking the perfect blend of contemporary functionality with classic aesthetics. Let’s explore the top smartwatches that seamlessly integrate vintage charm into their designs.
Apple Watch Hermès Series
Apple’s collaboration with luxury fashion house Hermès brings forth a collection of smartwatches that exude sophistication and heritage. The Apple Watch Hermès Series combines the latest in wearable technology with the timeless elegance of Hermès craftsmanship. With its distinctive leather straps and refined watch faces inspired by classic timepieces, these smartwatches effortlessly complement vintage attire while providing features like health tracking, notifications, and connectivity. However, we would only suggest this watch if you own iPhone, since there are more classic looking watches on this list.
Withings ScanWatch
Withings ScanWatch 2 is another standout in the realm of smartwatches with classic flair. A sleek design reminiscent of traditional analog watches with mechanical hands. The ScanWatch integrates features such as ECG, SpO2, heart rate tracking, body temperature and sleep analysis. Its stainless steel case and sapphire crystal evoke a sense of classic elegance, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate timeless aesthetics without compromising on functionality. If you prefer driver style watch, check out their Nova model. The Nova is probably the best looking smart watch on the market in our opinion.
Garmin Vivomove
The Garmin Vivomove is hybridwatch that combines the appearance of a classic timepiece with the functionality of a modern smartwatch. Featuring a discreet AMOLED touchscreen, that is hidden beneath its analog watch face and only activates after touch. The Vivomove offers all the essential smartwatch features you hope for. Its customizable design allows users to choose from various case materials and interchangeable bands, making it easy to tailor the watch to suit individual style preferences. Their luxe models is the best looking, but also most expensive option form Vivomove collection.
Huawei GT
Huawei GT3 (or the GT4 model) is a perfect blend of classic design elements and new technology. It comes in to different sizes 46mm and 42mm. We recommended smaller 42mm for almost everyone, because the 46mm one will look huge on most wrist and does not fit the classic aesthetics. The GT2 also comes with variety digital dial and classic strap options for those seeking a smartwatch with a timeless design.
Fossil Hybrid
Last, but certainly not least, Fossil’s Hybrid series combines the charm of analog watches with the convenience of smart features. Featuring a traditional watch dial with mechanical hands and a customizable e-ink display, the Hybrid offers essential smartwatch functionalities. With its vintage-inspired design and genuine leather straps, the Hybrid HR seamlessly transitions from casual to formal settings while keeping users connected and informed.
TL;DR
In conclusion, while the smartwatch market is saturated with sleek and futuristic designs, there exists a selection of timepieces that cater to individuals with a penchant for vintage style. Whether it’s the luxury appeal of the Apple Watch Hermès Series, the understated elegance of the Withings ScanWatch, mechanical hands of Fossil Hybrid or the traditional charm of the Garmin Vivomove and Huawei GT3, there’s a smartwatch available to suit every taste and preference for classic aesthetics.
