If you feel like you need more Avengers in your life after Endgame, Casio has your back. I mean your wrist. As long as you are in China anyway. I’m not sure why this isn’t happening in the US.

Steampunk fans needing a cool watch to go with a costume or just wanting something to wear around all the time will want to check out this Entropy Calibrator watch. It looks like something the main character in an HG Wells book would wear while on a time jaunt. The watch has 36mm diameter face, which displays the current state of the Galvanic Scale of Temporal Decay.

Analog makes watches that are made from natural materials. What could be more natural than cat and dog hair? The animals give it a licking and then these watches keep on ticking. I would think that the furry community would be all over this.

This watch from Wealth Solutions and Swiss watchmaker Louis Moinet comes with a shot of whisky. Each of the 50 limited edition watches will contain a single drop of an exceptionally rare and old whisky, Old Vatted Glenlivet 1862.

In addition to making your Apple Watch look cool and tough, it adds two dials to the left of the display.

If your quest is to catch them all, this timepiece from watchmaker Romain Jerome will make it awfully difficult, unless you have a spare $20,000 to spend on this RJ X Pokémon watch.

As cool as the Apple Watch is, many people still find themselves wanting to wear an old analog timepiece. Maybe they like the weight of it, or the aesthetic. Whatever the reason, these people wish they could have both on their wrist.
