23 Best Purple Watches at all Price-Points for 2023

Purple may not be the first color that comes to mind when you think of classicly styled watches.

However, we feel that it brings some flair and a fun bold look. It also works well on a variety of styles from field watches to high-end fashion pieces that you can dress it down or up. You can find a little bit of each on this list we put together of our 23 favorite purple watches - Whether it’s purple in dials, straps, or full cases… There’s a style for everyone.
