Summer means something different for everyone, but it is usually the season when people are busy outdoors, enjoying the pleasant weather and taking advantage of the slightly slower, more relaxed feel. It is also usually hot, humid, and sweaty. A summer watch needs to not only match your fashion but be able to keep up with your summer lifestyle as well.
Whether you spend your days at the beach, on the trails, walking, running, swimming, playing sports, camping, hiking, socializing, or just doing absolutely nothing at all, there is an ideal watch for you; you just need to know where to find it. Ranging from lowest to highest in price, the following selection contains a few of the most popular summer watches of the year so far.
