New from Swatch is a collection of watches for men with contemporary good looks, a modern feeling size, and available in a host of colors. This is the “New Gent” Rebel collection, and does actually look quite good. I fancied these designs from the first time I saw them, and really appreciate the more modern 41mm wide size of the case. The watches are in plastic with silicon straps and feature day/date Swiss quartz movements. The New Gent Rebel watches currently come in 10 color choices. The winner of this giveaway can choose the color they like (subject to availability by Swatch).

TweetEmail One watch brand that needs no introduction on Watch Report is Swatch. Their PR just contacted us to let us know that their new lineup for Fall/Winter is online at their store. Pictured at right is a chronograph that caught my eye as a nice design.As always, Swatches are very inexpensive and most often quartz movements and mineral or plastic crystals. The new line has over 100 watches; there's probably something there to catch your eye, and for $100 to $175 or so, why not? Not every watch needs to be an heirloom, after all.We're typically focused on men's watches, but of course there's quite a few women's models here as well. There's a lot to like about inexpensive, well-made watches that keep time well, are durable, and have an enormous style palette available. Swatch has both avant-garde as well as traditional designs, which is something unique to the brand. By Paul Hubbard
