The Titanium Field Guide

Microbrand carbon watches

The Titanium Field Guide lists 29 microbrand carbon watches, from $280 to $3,595, from 19 brands. Every entry is verified for its case material, and each one cites its source alongside the date it was last checked.

Independent, direct-to-consumer microbrands, which drive most of the value and innovation here. Often the best specs per dollar, at the cost of thinner resale and support than the majors.
