The camouflage watch or “camo” watch is a perfect match for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s the obvious watch choice for hunters and military personnel looking for a discrete watch that won’t give away their position. While the typical camo pattern is a tactical green watch with a silicone band – often a G-shock- in this article we go beyond the more common recommendations to include some very unique timepieces.
Most of these are tough watches with a rugged build and tactical features, built to withstand harsh elements. However, the list also includes some more versatile watches that could be worn as an everyday carry or even more dressy occasions. Some of these watches have a camo face with a simple leather or black rubber band which still provide enough camouflage while you’re out in the bush but a bit of added class if you want to use the watch for work. These watches offer enough camo to add an edge to any attire.
Below you’ll find our list of favorite camouflage watches on the market today including models from the most affordable brands to some of the most premium models.
