Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

A classic style watch with bold details that is tough enough to be worn daily. The leather wristband may need replacement after a year or so.

Pros

Bold styling, reminiscent of classic aviator or diver watches. Water resistant. Watch itself is sturdily built and resists scratching, standing up to daily wear and tear.

Cons

Wristband and its metal parts can deteriorate after several months.

Best Bang for the Buck

An ideal entry-level Diesel watch at a sub-$100 price point – just handle with care, as it scratches easily.

Pros

Sleek, all-black design still “pops” with detail. Raised lip on the end of the watchband keeps it in place when fastening and unfastening. Smaller profile than most Diesel watches, making it great for office wear.

Cons

The poly watchband is uncomfortable in hot temperatures. Watch face scratches easily, and decorative material seems cheap.

A standout watch in the Diesel line, but it may not stand up to daily wear.

Pros

Super-chunky, stylish watch that stands out when worn on the wrist. Big and tall men will find it a great fit as well. Despite its size, not too hefty.

Cons

Not water resistant; even a glancing pass through a running tap may fog the glass. Standard-sized band, meaning users may need to order a replacement size smaller or bigger.

A gargantuan timepiece that draws a mix of reactions and is certainly meant to be seen.

Pros

Fits big and tall men very comfortably. Extremely large and very heavy, in typical Diesel chunky style.

Cons

Not water resistant. Watch face is way too big for some to handle. Watch band may be a few links too small for some larger wrists.

Blends some of Diesel’s sleeker designs with its massive watch face for a uniquely detailed watch that is more style than function.

Pros

Automotive-inspired styling with unique details on the face and the band. Big, but not chunky and not too heavy for daily wear. Water resistant.

Cons

Watch face is very “busy,” with two chronographs that are not easy to set. User manual is not specific to the watch model.
