Do-It-Yourself (DIY)

With the emergence of a lot of DIY projects ranging from DIY STEM projects to DIY furniture installation, consumers are looking for a DIY approach to timepieces as well. Consumers are looking to customize their watch design from watchstrap to dials. There are even companies that specialize in customizing watches such as the Bamford Watch Department that can change the color of your Rolex Submariner 116613 BKD Men’s Watch.

 

Smaller Watch Cases

The days of rose-gold plated watches with 47mm watchcases are coming to an end. Consumers find that this 2015 trend, while awesome at its own right, that it’s a bit tacky and obnoxious. Although watches with rose-gold plated oversized watchcases will still remain popular among rappers with lavish lifestyles, the average consumer is looking for a smaller watchcase usually below 42mm. The Seiko Men’s Solar SUP878 Black Leather Strap is a good entry-level watch that's becoming popular once again.

 

Traditional Colors

Consumers are opting out on colors like rose-gold and going back to more classic traditional colors like white gold. The reason why consumers are going back to the classics is because the white gold color pair well with outfits and other colors. The Zenith El Primero Stratos Flyback is a perfect watch example that can match almost any outfit with its white gold watchcase color.
