Although there are dozens of high-tech watches that seem to be taking over, the top October 2015 watch ideas show that there is more than enough room for both classic, smartwatch and hybrid chronographs to exist.
Some of the most impressive watch releases as of late include details like personalization and tracking features, while other boast luxurious straps and watch faces. While many users and designers appreciate extreme simplicity, Vacheron Constantin takes pride in designing what he calls "the world's most complicated watch," complete with 57 'Complexities' in total.
Inspired by new discoveries from NASA, the last blood moon lunar eclipse until 2033 and the new Star Wars movie, there are several timepieces like the Bulova Chronograph and Devon's $28,500 Star Wars watch that channel sci-fi features from outer space.
