An elegant timepiece ticks off all the right boxes for a wedding present for the husband-to-be: It shows off his style and it lasts a lifetime. Then there's the added bonus that he won't be late for those very important dates, like an after-work movie night. Whether you're investing in your man's first designer staple, upgrading his go-to with newer features, designs, and bands, or considering gifting an alternative statement accessory, there's a watch out there that fits your (and his!) needs. 

From fitness-tracking technology mavens to traditional (but non-boring) timekeepers, we've rounded up the best of the best when it comes to sleek, fashionable, and user-friendly devices. And we've been sure to include multiple price points, to accommodate every budget. If you're able and willing to make a major splurge, though, we've also added on those top-of-the-line options that many men only dream of wearing. From Cartier to Tiffany & Co., these state-of-the-art watches are more than time pieces—they're future heirlooms that will be passed down from generation to generation. 

We're major fans of these legacy pieces, but we're also majorly impressed with our more affordable options, that look (and are!) just as effective, stylish, and impressive as their high-end counterparts. Whichever piece you decide upon, your groom will love this gift as much on your 25th anniversary as he does on the day of the "I do"s. Whether his style is classic, sporty, retro, or modern, one of these tickers will give him all the polish he needs.
