16 Pink Watches for a Barbie-approved Wardrobe

It’s a Barbie world, and we’re all living in it! Unless you’ve been stuck in the Barbie Dreamhouse for too long, there’s a good chance you will have noticed the explosion of hot pink everything on the fashion runway and the red carpet. From Valentino’s last Fall Winter runway show to the release of the much-anticipated Barbie movie in theatres on 21^st July, the vibrant Barbiecore trend is more present than ever and has no sign of leaving our wardrobe, including our accessories. While a statement neon pink watch might be THE piece you need to fulfil your Barbie fantasy, softer shades of pink are just as much Barbie-approved, from salmon to rose gold and bubble gum, so if you too wish to be part of this summer’s Barbie mania, here are 16 affordable pink watches and luxury watches to tempt all ladies and Kens.

This summer, come and party with these budget-friendly pink watches that add a touch of fantasy to any outfit! For ladies who wish to go full Barbie mode, a hot pink watch is exactly the kind of accessory that will fit the bill at the film’s opening night, especially Swatch’s on-trend Back to Pink Berry watch. Nothing screams “Barbie” more than a top-to-bottom fuchsia plastic watch, but even our favourite doll sometimes needs to switch up her style with different colourways and materials. For an affordable Barbie-inspired watch that elevates any outfit without overpowering it, the Guess Ladies Pink Nova watch, with its soft pink silicone strap and delicate rose gold-coloured coating on the case, will be a chic addition to the wardrobe, and so will Radley's baby pink watch featuring a soft pink leather strap and rose pink colour dial.

If you’re looking for affordable pink watches with a timeless feel, these are the pieces that will appeal to both Barbie fans and elegant watch lovers. For those who swear by Barbie’s signature bright hue but do not want to commit to a flashy, all-pink watch, Nordgreen’s Native Pink Nylon watch should be that one piece to keep on your radar. With its striking hot pink strap and minimalist baton dial, this effortless Nordgreen watch embodies the spirit of Barbie without screaming it on the rooftop.

Other timeless pink watches that will thrive in and outside the Barbie metaverse range from Daniel Wellington’s feminine Iconic Motion Pastel to Hamilton’s American Classic Ardmore pink watch, and for a versatile day-to-night look, also consider the stunning Tissot T-My Lady watch with its interchangeable quick release bracelet.

Life in plastic might be fantastic, but when it comes to luxury timepieces, even Barbie will agree that plastic isn’t going to cut it. Stainless steel, on the other hand, remains a chic contender among all the luxurious materials to choose from, especially when combined with a dash of pink. For a tasteful pink watch to wear on repeat, we recommend Raymond Weil’s superb Toccata watch for ladies. Beyond its timeless allure, it is the pink/golden hue of the stainless steel offset with the navy details that truly make the piece remarkable. Chez Frederique Constant, the Highlife Ladies watch is another stunning timepiece to wear all year round, especially if sleek, modern silhouettes resonate with your aesthetic.

If Barbie were to shop for a new summer timepiece, we are confident she would choose Baume & Mercier’s superb pink Riviera watch in stainless steel. Introduced in 2022, this new interpretation of the classic Riviera is audacious yet highly feminine, much like the style of the iconic doll portrayed by Margot Robbie. In the run-up to the film’s premiere, the actress looked stunning in a custom-made Hervé Léger bodycon dress inspired by the 1959 Mattel doll. While Robbie donned the same accessories worn by the original doll (namely, a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, gold hoops, and black mules) we, of course, would complete the look with the pink Riviera watch for a wrist-to-toe luxury summer look.

Gentlemen, if you think pink is exclusively reserved for women, think again. While we doubt most men would like to be seen with a Barbie pink watch on their wrist (apart from Ryan Gosling’s Ken, of course), the watch industry has proven over the years that lighter shades of pink, from salmon to rose gold, can equally conquer the hearts of tasteful men and women. Rose gold accents on stainless steel pieces are all the rage at the minute, but if a sporty watch is also on your current wish list, why not kill two birds with one stone with Roamer’s Tempo Master Chronograph watch or the Stile men’s watch from Maserati? Both watches feature a superb two-tone bracelet and a colourful dial elevated with rose gold minute details, making them both striking and easy to wear on a daily basis.

For refined city dwellers, Bulova’s Classic Skeleton Auto watch will be a great choice if a classic piece adorned with subtle pink touches is what you had in mind for your next wristwatch purchase. Boasting a brown leather strap and a simple, white dial enhanced by rose gold accents and a skeleton movement, the Bulova watch is clearly designed to be worn in a chic, modern world rather than in Ken’s flashy Barbie Land.
