Monsoon is here, and you've got to ensure that most of your valued possessions are safe from the rain when you step out. Except your watch, that is. The days of watches with questionable water resistance are long gone, and these days, even a watch with just a 30m water resistance rating would fare just fine if it gets somewhat wet.
But it's unlikely that you'll be wearing your dress watch out in the rain anyway. For everyday options, most watches these days come with at least 50m of water resistance. Most come with 100m. You know what you can do with a watch like that? Go swimming. So, some rain is hardly going to wreck it. But if you're in the market for a watch, which one should you choose? Well, here are 6 classics that will have you covered.
