Mondaine is most
famous for producing
watches which resemble
its classic Swiss Railways
clock, but the Helvetica
range is different. It
includes activity and
sleep tracking.

Think a pricey Apple
Watch is needed to take
an ECG reading of your
heart? This can do that,
plus activity tracking and
sleep monitoring, with
a 12-month battery life,
for a really low price.

Part of TAG’s Heritage
range, the Autavia was
favoured by racing
drivers in the 1960s.
The vintage silver dial
features a retro Heuer
logo, and is encircled by

The 300 recalls its iconic
namesake, but has been
updated to include
Omega’s more modern

The Tudor Black Bay
might be the ideal piece
to start a “proper” watch
collection. It’s premium
but not too expensive,

Having undergone 130
durability tests, this
watch will stand up to
anything you throw at
it. The paracord strap
hints at its adventurous
heritage, and it’s great

This is a faithful
recreation of its original
1960s forebearer and
is true to Hamilton’s
military heritage. The
38mm stainless steel
case is paired with a
durable NATO strap.

Featuring a heart-rate
monitor and the ability
to track 30 different
exercises, this is ideal for

resistant to 50 metres,
and the battery lasts
around 25 days.
