17 Women’s Rectangular Watches You’ll Love (From Budget To Luxury)

As you might have observed already, around 80-90% of the watches being sold in the market are round. It’s no wonder why they are more popular and more obvious choice in all styles and for various occasions.
Historically, the round shape was simply for practicality and efficiency. Round watches were found to be easier to make than rectangular ones. And although the technology and the materials being used have changed and improved significantly, manufacturers and users alike have already become too familiar with the round shape of watches.
However, for this very reason, the rectangular watches truly stand out and catch attention especially of watch enthusiasts.
When it comes to rectangular watches, the Cartier Tank Watch is unarguably the “most iconic watch on the planet”. Cartier Tank Watch’s design has the perfect combination of uniqueness, simplicity, and elegance.

Mainly because of its design, such a watch has landed on the wrists of some well-known women around the globe. Among its famous wearers are Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Meghan Markle, and of course, Princess Diana.
