Top 30 Watch Ideas in April

From Chic Designer Smartwatches to Sporty GPS Watches

— April 24, 2016 — Fashion
As reflected in the designs of the top April 2016 watches, these wrist accessories are desired for much more than just telling time. Some of the most novel watch designs include ones that have compartments for snacks, smartwatches disguised as analog-style watches and models that track the phases of the moon.

There are also a number of creative smartwatch bands that are emerging that deviate from what's commonly offered. This includes woven nylon styles, chain link bands and even straps that can detect if its wearer is having a stroke. With inventions like these, this watch component is proving itself to be about more than just security and style.

When it comes to selling watches, The Fifth Watches takes an extremely unconventional approach, only selling its exclusive models on the fifth of every month.
