Check out The Kurator’s selection of the top 5 sports watches of 2023

A sports watch has the curious distinction of mass appeal - you don’t have to be a watch aficionado to wear one, or a connoisseur to actually need one. The wide audience base that manufactures cover with sports watches means that we have a huge range of options to choose from, with something available for every taste and pocket. At The Kurator we’ve gathered some of the latest sports watches for both men and women that represent our favourite timepieces of the moment for active lifestyles. Check out our top five selection below…

1. Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4: It was only a year ago that Tag Heuer introduced the Connected Calibre E4 line of smartwatches and already the lineup has grown to include three new models starting from $2,350 -the unisex range begins with a 42mm model which is particularly light with its titanium case and if you love to hit the links Tag Heuer offers the Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition featuring a database of 40,000 golf courses around the world with automatic recognition, score-tracking and course positioning.

2. Girard-Perregaux Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition: This stunning offering from Girard-Perregaux is available for both men and women in 42mm and 38mm sizes, made of green ceramic to match Aston Martin’s traditional British Racing Green colour, as well as the brand’s hugely successful exploits on the world’s Formula 1 circuits this year. The watch is a limited edition with a starting price of just over $26,000.

3. Timex Ironman Original 30: Nothing can beat Timex for value on the market, as this Timex OG Ironman proves - this is a durable and improved model for the 2023 model year that’s just about indestructible yet costs less than $100 with water resistance up to 200m as well as shock resistance - it’s nearly a disposable proposition as you don’t have to be conscious of every scratch and bump in the gym, but when you get attached to the simple joy of a cheap Timex it’ll be all about sentimental worth rather than the ultra-cheap price.

4. Richard Mille RM 07-04 Automatic Sport: Earlier this year Richard Mille debuted the company’s first ever women’s sport watch, and as we’ve come to expect from one of the world’s premier watchmakers, the new RM 07-04 Automatic Sport is a stunning, ultra-light option weighing in at around 35 grams - to launch the watch Richard Mille collaborated with world-class female athletes such as race drivers Margot Laffite and Aurora Strauss as well as Winter Olympics gold-medallist Ester Ledecká. Retail? Around $185,000.

5. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 30th Anniversary: This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Royal Oak Offshore model and to celebrate Audemars Piguet has launched the new Self-Winding Chronograph 30th Anniversary edition released in a 43mm case in a black ceramic aesthetic featuring yellow detailing - the watch is limited world-wide to 500 examples at a price of just over $60,000.
