StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches

Based on recent releases, the popularity of the integrated bracelet sports watch shows no signs of slowing down. I felt it would be interesting to revisit and list my favorites of the ones that have been reviewed on the StrapHabit blog.

I'm not aware of an official definition, but for this article, I'll define "Integrated Bracelet" as a metal bracelet that appears to be integrated with the case. These often have non-standard lug designs that flare out to sit flush with the case. Standard-width straps (such as 20mm or 22mm) typically won't fit these watches. Or in cases like the Q Timex, 18mm straps will fit, but will look strange if you don't choose an option like TQ18.

These bracelets are usually made of Stainless Steel, but I didn't specify that, as one of them is made from a different material. This list is not an exhaustive list of all watches ever made, but rather those that have been reviewed on StrapHabit.

StrapHabit doesn't sell straps to fit many of these watches, but you can view our favorite straps for your other watches at the links below. You can also view our Guide to Choosing a Watch Strap.

9. Casio x PAC-MAN Anniversary - ABL-100WE

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches
The first two are stretching what some might consider an integrated bracelet, but I am going to leave them in because they are so cool! The Casio x PAC-Man anniversary watch is a ton of fun for a relatively low price, featuring hooded lugs and a distinctive bracelet that flares out to meet the edges of its case perfectly. You would really need a strap like a TQ18 to look right on it.

8. Honda Speedometer Watch

7. Q Timex x seconde/seconde/ Loser 38mm - TW2W70700

While the Q Timex Loser is the one I enjoy wearing the most, the standard Q Timex 38mm Quartz, Q Timex GMT, and Timex M79 Automatic watches also belong on this list. I've reviewed the bracelet versions of all of these, and I thoroughly enjoy them (especially on a TQ18 strapa jubilee, or a beads of rice bracelet).

6. Tissot PRX - T1374101105100

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches
The Tissot PRX is the first watch on this list that most people will consider having a true integrated bracelet. It also has nice finishing, and people love its style. It would have been higher on the list, but we have not reviewed the automatic version, and I didn't feel that the quartz model offers the best value, even if it is under $500.

5. Casio Edifice Automatic Forged Carbon - EFK-100CD-1A

The Casio Edifice is the most recent review on the list. I loved its forged carbon dial, and at around $300 with an automatic movement, it offers a better value than the PRX. Hopefully, Casio will continue to expand this range.

4. Autodromo Group B Series 2 Automatic

Autodromo is one of the few brands that can make car-inspired watches that are subtle and don't appear overdone. While 20mm straps do fit on it, the bracelet aligns so seamlessly with the case that I consider it an integrated design. 

3. Casio G-Shock MRGB5000D-1

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports WatchesThe Casio MRG sits high on the list due to its beautiful construction and how much I liked wearing it. It's not a good value at $3,500, but it's so cool that Casio makes this watch, and its titanium bracelet is perfectly integrated with the case.

2. Brew Metric - Retro Dial

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches
Brew's designs are some of my favorites, and the Metric's bracelet's interface with its case looks like just a gap between another link. The bracelet is beautiful, and the dial design and colors are so fun. This earned it the number 2 spot on the list.

1. Tudor North Flag (91210N)

StrapHabit's Top 9 Integrated Bracelet Sports Watches
The Tudor North Flag combines the integrated aesthetic with Tudor's rugged design language. It offers excellent legibility, and the yellow power reserve indicator is so cool. Tudor used it to debut its in-house movement, and for that reason, included its first transparent caseback. I'm surprised that sales were low, but it was misunderstood in the market. The vintage-style Black Bay diver has more obvious mass appeal. Still, it is one of my favorite Tudor watches, and my favorite integrated bracelet watch reviewed by StrapHabit.
