Portable timepiece. In the early 20th century increasing miniaturization, mass production, and convenience led to the watch moving from the pocket to the wrist. Watches were also subsequently made waterproof, antimagnetic, self-winding, and shock-resistant. In 1957 the electric watch was developed, and in the 1970s came the digital watch, which dispensed with all moving parts.

Never throw anything away - eventually everything comes back in style. In the case of digital watches, this saying is very true. Remember when you were seven and you couldn't wait to get your new watch with the actual hands so your friends could tell you knew how to tell time? Those days are over. People are becoming smarter and have realized that digital watches were popular for a reason; it's simply easier to tell time on a digital watch. The numbers are large and you don't have to look at your watch up close just to tell the difference between the hour hand and the minute hand. The number one reason why people are choosing to go back to digital watches - the latest designs are simply more stylish than normal watches.

The recent popularity increase of digital watches can be attributed to a few specific brands offering the hottest styles of this type of watch. Below you will find a list of the top 3 luxury watch labels specializing in digital watches:
