Guess what? Not everything celebrities wear can burn a hole in your pocket. In fact, some Hollywood A-list celebrities actually enjoy buying and collecting affordable watches along with luxury ones. This fact may just make us feel a little better that we could not afford that lovely Cartier watch or that Roger Dubuis Excalibur. Here are a few mens watches and womens watches that celebrities enjoy wearing in real life, in the movies, on television, and for business.
10. Michael Owen – Tissot Men’s Watches
Let’s start off with a macho athlete. One of the best-known footballers in the world, Michael Owen does represent as Tissot’s Ambassador starting the year 1998.
Some rough-and-tumble footballers are not all too concerned about not wearing luxury gold mens watches all the time. They just want something that will work well. Tissot Men’s watches can provide that need for them.
9. Ivan Basso – Skagen Watch
One of the best mountain bike riders, Italian Ivan Basso, lends his name to a line of Skagen watches: the Red and Yellow Signature Editions.
Representing Nordic Europe is the Skagen brand of watches. A Skagen timepiece is known for being classy and expensive-looking though it is actually affordable and even fit for casual wear.
8. Jeffrey Donovan – Chase-Durer Special Forces
Let’s go to television celebrities, shall we? Jeffrey Donovan, as blacklisted international spy Michael Westin, proudly dons his Chase-Durer in Burn Notice. It’s his fictional character Michael Westin who wears the watch, but still he lends some incredible sense of reliability on Chase-Durer.
If you are familiar with the action-packed series, Burn Notice, then you will know that the Chase-Durer Special Forces watch made its appearance on the wrist of none other than the lead actor.
7. Kyle Chandler – Citizen Eco-Drive
No wonder television actor and Emmy-award nominee Kyle Chandler trusts the watch to give him a pretty good image even without the hefty price tag. You will recognize Kyle Chandler from his popular shows Friday Night Lights and Early Edition. I wonder if his Citizen helps him get to the news before everyone else…
Citizen is known for serving up hot but affordable mens watches and womens watches. It’s not even just elegant looks that Citizen Eco-Drive can deliver. The watch model sounds as if it should be part of an action movie or at least an adventure flick that does not let up.
6. Kristen Stewart – Swatch Full-Blooded
This watch just fits Twilight star Kristen Stewart. The model name is even curiously related to her hit vampire movie. The Swatch Full-Blooded is just young and sophisticated enough for a young actress growing up into a swan.
Young Hollywood stars are just like other teenagers and young adults. They want something hip and fashionable, not something their grandma would wear. That is why Swatch is not really a surprising choice by young celebrities though the brand is definitely affordable. The Swatch Full-Blooded is a little more sophisticated than the plastic models.
5. Jamie Foxx – Casio Men’s Pathfinder Atomic Solar Digital Watch
Jamie Foxx’s FBI agent Ronald Fleury wants a watch that is functional beyond just telling the time and ringing a screaming alarm. So, he went for the Casio Men’s Pathfinder.
The Casio Men’s Pathfinder watch is fit for hard action. If you are in danger or at least working up a sweat, do you really want a luxury watch? The Casio model is full of surprises: thermometer, digital compass, barometer, and world time are just some of them.
4. Kanye West – Casio G Shock Watch
Singer-rapper Kanye West loves his Casio G Shock watch that he probably has several Casio watches in different colors.
Casio G Shock watches are very cool and very affordable that a lot of fake ones are swirling around in underground flea markets. Still, the genuine ones are what you should go for; you do not really want to side with idea thieves, or do you?
3. Edward Norton – Breil Milano
Academy-award nominee Edward Norton has been reported to wear the brand. Not only that, he has become the celebrity endorser of Breil Milano up to the year 2010.
By its elegant Italian name, you might have never guessed that Breil Milano can be affordable. If it is mentioned that a celebrity has worn the brand, you may be further scared off. However, Breil Milano is unconventional in both its looks and price.
2. Johnny Depp – Seiko Quartz Men’s Watch
It is not surprising that Johnny Depp would wear a Seiko. Depp has always been recognized for being unconventional. He dresses up the way he feels like, not caring for what the fans and the fashion critics expect. It may be just his Nick of Time film character who was seen with the Seiko Quartz, but you can really imagine Depp wearing this particular Seiko watch in real life.
Seiko is one of the world’s well-known watch brands. It has stood the test of time while maintaining an affordable image.
1. Angelina Jolie – Tissot T Touch
Though it is actually Angie’s character in Mr. & Mrs. Smith who wore the Tissot T Touch, the fact that the watch model was worn by Miss Jolie in a movie for the second time says a lot. Angelina wore the same brand of watch for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life.
Sometimes it is the brand itself that makes sure it is known by many that it has been worn by a celebrity. You cannot blame Tissot T Touch for aligning itself with the gorgeous Angelina Jolie.
