Top 40 Watches Trends in May

From Californian Luxury Timepieces to Sleek Golfer Smartwatches

From high-end luxury timepieces inspired by retro 90s technology to convenience-focused health monitoring smartwatches, this list of May 2022 watches trends paints a picture of the current direction of the watch industry.

One noteworthy watch release this month was the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Purple Sapphire from Hublot. At a luxury price point of $200,000 USD, this watch boasts a high-quality tourbillon and unique sapphire crystals throughout the dial to create an admirable timepiece. However, this luxury watch takes a stance towards retro styles and 90s technology, as it features a clear purple shell reminiscent of 90s technology such as Nintendo's GameBoy.

On the smartwatch side, the Xiamoi Fitness Watch S1 combines necessary health tracking technology with chic style. This watch has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen that displays various metrics such as blood-oxygen level, sleep tracking, heart rate tracking, and many more across 117 different fitness modes.
