Have you been looking to add a rectangular watch to your collection? Here are the best options you can choose from!

I love watches. I love wearing them, shopping for them, and writing about them. Putting together roundups like this one is a lot of fun.

But, in some roundups, I feel like I need to come to the defense of some poor watch that the horological community turns its nose up at. Or, I’m begging a new watch collector to give a particular watch a chance. 

So I’ll address the issue head-on, right off the bat.

Rectangular watches don’t get a lot of love. Let’s face it. They don’t make the loud statement of an oversized diver. They rarely hold a shirt cuff back enough for anyone to notice them.

Most of the time, the cases blend right in with the bracelet. There’s even a notion that rectangular watches are feminine in style, or only for women.

That’s just wrong.

The truth is the reasons that make rectangular watches less popular are the same reasons that make them so great. They’re understated and classy. They’re unique and mysterious.

While it’s true that you’d be hard-pressed to curate a one-watch collection with a rectangular watch, just about every collection needs at least one.

The thing is that some rectangular watches are extremely expensive, making it difficult to add one to a collection. But, there’s always an alternative, and this guide will help point them out. 

Listed below, you’ll find several high-end rectangular watches as well as some affordable rectangular alternatives that aren’t so cost-prohibitive.
