When it comes to watches, minimalism is an interesting topic. There are a couple of different ways that it can go. You can have minimalist watches that eliminate unnecessary design elements and reduce a watch to the bare essentials. Alternatively, you can have a personal minimalist philosophy that reduces the number of watches you have to one or two watches that work very well for you.

For a truly minimalist watch, you could have a watch that has minimal hands and minimal markers like my Orient Bambino (below). It's influenced by that German Bauhaus design philosophy that your father might scoff at. It simplifies the watch. You can read my complete review of the Orient Bambino, Second Generation, Version 3, here on this blog. It's a high quality mechanical watch with no design excess.

But, the versatile watch route is also very workable. In that case, you get a watch that is appropriate in many situations and wear it often. For example, a watch like the Timex Easy Reader or a very practical automatic like this Seiko 5 might be an appropriate choice.

Personally, I find it hard to narrow down my minimalist watch choices. There are many to choose from. My recommendation: use my Amazon affiliate link and get another watch case.
