Sports watches have established themselves as the most sought-after and worn watches in the world. With a greater emphasis on outdoor activity and physical health, consumers need timepieces that can keep up with their active lifestyles. There has been no shortage of divers and chronographs this year, so we have compiled the best sports watches of 2020 under $10,000. Bulgari Aluminium time-only While this watch has taken previous forms over the years, its re-release in 2020 presents the most robust take on the aluminium model yet. With exceptional original design, the watch manages to have the heart and feel of a sports watch while also having an aesthetic capable of being upscaled with formal wear. The Italians are masters of fashion, and the Roman Jeweller of Time consistently puts the “novel” in novelties with creations that distinctly reflect the brand. With a 40mm case made of tough aluminium, and a rubber bracelet that forms around the wrist thanks to its embedded aluminium links, this ETA-based entry Bulgari is a great way to dip your feet into the Bulgari catalogue and makes for one of the best daily wearers of the year.
