When you’re ready to upgrade by downsizing, here are the best minimalist watches you could want.

A slight, silvery steel face that’s a mere 37mm in diameter, powered by Japanese quartz movement, and bearing a croc-textured calfskin band right out of the box. Purchase: $74

Daniel Wellington Reading
DW never fails to impress with their no-nonsense build, easy, friendly white faces, and trim, tidy aesthetic. Purchase: $90
3
Rodina Sea-Gull Automatic ST17
Straddling the fence between dress and leisure, offering a handy chrono on the uncluttered face, it’s even able to come in at under 40mm for an understated elegance that belies the low price. Purchase: $120
4
Skagen Hagen Multifunction
Slim and slight as any good minimalist watch should be, the Hagen also has the lack of numerals to show that it doesn’t need clutter to make a point. Purchase: $142+

Tsovet JPT‑CO36
Blind stitching and a deficit of numerals on the front of the colorful face say everything you need while not speaking above a whisper. Purchase: $150
