# Minimalist Unisex Watch Designs The New adidas Originals Watches are Out and They are Elegant By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-12-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-watches References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/adidas-originals-watches-fw18/) & [adidaswatches](https://www.adidaswatches.com/ca/en) The latest drop of [adidas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-accessories) [Originals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-ii-japan) watches is out and it features six brand new functional designs. The Fall/Winter Holiday collection offers updated silhouettes of the brand's iconic ARCHIVE, PROCESS and DISTRICT models. Each token from the capsule is kept under $200 USD which makes the timepieces an accessible option for holiday gifting. The adidas Originals watches are minimalist in design, embracing colorways and elements that nod to "[70s heritage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-watch-collections)" and the "Bauhaus movement" which, admittedly, has been thriving of recent. The silhouettes of the offerings hit the crossroad between tech-savvy functionality and effortlessly elegant aesthetic. With small style embellishments like the ARCHIVE M1's copper-accented buttons and PROCESS M1's oval analog silhouette, the adidas Originals watches are bound to make a noticeable but subtle style statement on any given occasion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Watch Designs:** Opportunity for brands to create simple and elegant timepieces with nods to nostalgic design aesthetics. - **Affordable Timepieces:** Chance to offer stylish and functional watches at affordable price points for holiday gifting. - **Tech-savvy Fashion Accessories:** Potential to merge technology and fashion in watches that offer both functionality and style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion brands to expand their offerings by including minimalist unisex watches. - **E-commerce:** Chance for online retailers to offer a range of affordable adidas Originals watches for convenient shopping. - **Design and Manufacturing:** Potential for watch manufacturers to create technologically advanced timepieces with minimalist designs for the fashion market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Sporty Luxe Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-accessories.md) - [Architect-Approved Watch Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tadao-ando-x-cauny.md) - [Ultra-Minimalist Collaboration Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-paul-smith-bn0279.md) - [Bold Holiday Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-2024-holiday-collection.md) - [Inaugural Slick Watch Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone1.md) - [Minimalist Bauhaus-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botta-watches.md) - [Golden Luxe Digital Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mm6-maison-margiela-x-timex.md) - [Individuality-Focused Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-new-campaign.md) - [Muted Sportswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/song-for-the-mute-adidas.md)
