Summer is a season that most people look forward to. It’s a time to spend time with friends and family, do what you love, soak up the sun, and relax. Depending on your itinerary, you might not want to bring an expensive watch because you want to take it easy and relax. You don’t want to worry about your watch being broken or stolen. However, as a watch lover, you want something serious on your wrist, but not too serious. In that case, these four fun watches for summer might be an option for you.
Versace Medusa Pop
The Medusa Pop is a typical Versace piece, so it’s not for shy, introverted people. This is also the fun part of this kind of watch, where the bold Versace lettering and Medusa’s head stand out on the silicone strap that also covers the case. That said, the 38mm diameter also plays its part, making it an exceptionally comfortable watch to wear. The dial features gold-tone hands rotating behind a three-dimensional Medusa, giving this Versace even more personality. The head actually sits on a flat crystal, protected by a domed sapphire crystal. The quartz Ronda movement ensures precise timekeeping, so you’ll never miss a happy hour. The Medusa Pop watch is available in black, white, blue, purple, and even red, so you can choose one to match your swimsuit. Price: $495.

Swatch Neon Wave
In case you haven’t noticed yet, neon colors are back in style. The hues that dominated the 80s and 90s are back in full force, probably because we’re nostalgic for them. Swatch was inspired to launch an entire collection of vibrant neon colors. Or rather, a relaunch, since these colors were one of the cornerstones of the brand’s success back then. The Neon Wave is a bold color combination, but one that allows you to keep control thanks to its chronograph and date function. The matte yellow case is fitted with a silicone strap with a very comfortable structure. It has a 42mm diameter and makes a statement, but you don’t have to worry that it won’t match your outfit – it won’t. Price: $130.

Maurice Lacroix Icon #Tide Camo
The Aikon #Tide Camo is a watch that will either blend in perfectly or stand out like crazy. With a green case, bezel and dial, combined with a camouflage strap, this is not a watch you should leave lying around while camping in the woods, as you’ll likely never find it again. Outside of that, this watch is pretty conspicuous and might just be what you’re looking for. The large 40mm case is made from recycled plastic recovered from the ocean, which is also used to make the buckle. As a result, the Aikon #Tide Camo is comfortable to wear, and its quartz movement will ensure that you won’t be late on your vacation. Price: $825.

G-Shock G-Ride
Some would say nothing symbolizes vacation more than the G-Shock. This rugged watch is known for withstanding shocks and still looking good. Whether you’re heading to the beach or enjoying water sports there, the G-LIDE has a variety of useful features, the main one being the tide indication. The G-Shock display is very organized for those of us who are used to the brand, making it easy to keep track of all the information. The strap and part of the case are made from bio-based resin, while the rest is stainless steel. The G-Lide is water resistant up to 20 ATM/200 meters, and the Bluetooth functionality not only makes it easier to set up, but also gives you an excuse to use your phone while on vacation. Price: $160.
