A wise man once said that you must spend a little extra cash for you to acquire something you admire because the feeling of enjoyment and accomplishment are strong values. When looking for a timepiece that suits your needs, people tend to check the feature-to-price ratio of the item to know if it’s worth buying or not.
People can look to the timepiece’s feature-to-price ratios all day long. However, in the end, all that matters is choosing the watch that you love because an admiration of a watch is all that it would take to inspire consumers to bring it home. Although countless brands guarantee greatness, here are the best most prominent watch brands of 2019.

Tissot Heritage
Tissot is a brand that originated in Switzerland, and it’s also one of the few brands that got engaged with motor racing back in the fifties. This year, Tissot is releasing the Heritage that revisits the Navigator. This watch is a mechanical racing watch that sponsored the great racing success back in the 70s with Alpine in the World Rally Championship at Monte Carlo.
The re-release of the Heritage is very affectionate as they try to maintain the original image, but with a few new tweaks to adapt to the technological advancement in watches.

Tag Heuer’s secret into making the new variation of the Autavia is the “Isograph.” The Isograph marks the technological advancement of their movement in the most fragile part of the timepiece, its hairspring. Conceived from a carbon-composite material, the Autavia has adverse effects on magnetism, while it’s resistant to shocks and gravity as well.
Victorinox INOX
The name Victorinox is familiar to people who have acquired Swiss Army Knives. The company released its line of timepieces, the Victorinox INOX. The watch is acknowledged due to its absurd rock-like structure because the INOX still maintains its fresh, sleek aesthetic after it got run over with a tank and being shot down with corrosive fluids.
