All watches tell time the same, so why have a dull one on your wrist? As social creatures, our instinct is to blend in and follow the crowd. However, choosing a watch with a bright colour or pattern will set you apart from the majority. Some people will view this as a negative way of attracting attention, but that’s not the case. A fun and funky watch is a great way to express your creativity and showcase your style. Not only does it add colour to your wrist, but it also adds a unique value that you won’t find in classic timepieces. If you’re looking to add a quirky watch to your collection but don’t know which one to choose, keep reading to discover our top 5 fun and funky watches.
Our Top 5 Fun and Funky Watches
Swatch THE PURITY OF NEON White Chrono Dial / White Silicone Strap SB06W100
This chronograph model features a white dial with three neon subdials and a dual-tone bezel. The fun and colourful design is something Swatch is notorious for and automatically makes you stand out from the crowd. The dial exhibits black baton indices which are complimented by matching black hour, minute, and seconds hands. The choice of a darker colour for these features is clever as it does not take away from the neon colours used throughout the subdials and bezel. The white biosourced case and silicone strap highlight this further. This watch is powered by precise and reliable quartz movement, which means timekeeping is of great accuracy. If you’re looking for a fun and funky watch that is affordable and high-quality, this Swatch model is the one for you.
Maurice Lacroix Aikon Quartz #TIDE Upcycled-Plastic (40mm) Benzilla Special Edition AI2008-50YZA-000-0
This special edition watch is designed for those who like bold colours and sustainable products. This model has a case made of upcycled ocean plastic mixed with glass fibre.

The dial of the watch follows a blue and orange colour scheme and features a graphic of Benzilla’s 3-eyed character ‘LOOOK’. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating; this enhances the model’s durability as it has scratch-resistant properties. For optimal timekeeping in low-light situations, this watch comes with glowing hands and indices. The blue strap is made from rubber and is finished with a #tide pin buckle. If you’re a sustainable person who has a vibrant style and an interest in art, this watch is the one for you.
Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Auto H24535331
A fun and funky watch isn’t just because of colour, sometimes it can be because of its shape. This Hamilton model represents exactly that. This model showcases an iconic skeleton dial with an all-black colour scheme. The distinctive triangular case is made from black PVD-plated stainless steel, and this is what gives the watch its unique appearance. The striking red zigzag at the centre draws your attention to the skeleton dial which showcases the watch’s automatic movement. This window is a unique feature that adds value to the watch. This iconic watch represents the core values of Hamilton watchmaking and is a great addition to any watch collection; especially if a funky watch is the missing piece.

This comfortable strap is patterned with a Peanuts comic strip style that complements the one visible on the dial.
