Are you still looking for the Best Gift for Dad this Father’s Day? Thinking about a tie, or maybe a t-shirt with a funny or inspirational quote? Really? I’ll tell ya what this old man secretly wants, and never gets: (no, not that, you pervert). What that old man wants is a good old manly wristwatch! Not one of them sissy step counters or smartwatches, that demand constant attention, worn by soulless drones so that they can fill their meaningless existences with all sorts of useless gadgets that… (OK, sorry, I digress).

What that old man needs is a real timepiece that portrays his manliness, a tough piece of steel with an analogue dial and a soul, a watch he can show to his buddies at the bar, a conversation starter, a companion for all manly activities in nature, in the workshop, in his man cave…

To find the perfect gift for your dad, skip the tie

And your taste in ties is surely spot on (irony off). When was the last time he wore one of the ties you bought for Father’s Day? Exactly, now you see my point.

Give that old man a masculine watch. Do not automatically think of luxury watches. The average amount spent on gifts for Father’s Day is $95, enough for a nice, manly timepiece. And as a family gift, you don’t need to spend more than $500.

So, what are the best watches for Father’s Day? We have curated a selection for all types of Dads, encompassing dive-type watches, field watches, racing chronographs, tool watches and even dress watches. You can’t go wrong with any of these watches:
