Welcome to Rumours Watch®, your number one destination for stylish and affordable quartz watches and accessories!
Our Story
Rumours Watch® was founded in 1995 by watch enthusiasts John and Michelle Smith. As a young couple, John and Michelle shared a passion for fashionable yet affordable timepieces. They noticed a gap in the market for watches that combined quality craftsmanship with on-trend styling at accessible prices. And so, Rumours Watch® was born!
John and Michelle started small, selling their watches at local craft fairs and pop-up shops. But word quickly spread about these fun, fashionable watches that didn’t break the bank. Before long, Rumours Watch® gained a cult following, with customers seeking out our signature interchangeable watch straps and unique watch face designs.
Over the past 25+ years, Rumours Watch® has grown from those humble beginnings into a leading global fashion watch brand. We now offer men’s and women’s quartz wrist watches in hundreds of different styles, available worldwide both online and through major retailers.
Our Watches
At Rumours Watch®, we believe that quality and style shouldn’t be out of reach. That’s why we offer an extensive collection of on-trend quartz watches at affordable price points.
Our ladies watches come in delicate, feminine shapes with slim leather straps, glittering rhinestone accents, and intricately decorated watch faces. We offer sophisticated office classics as well as playful, fashion-forward designs – all enhanced with Swarovski® crystals and attention to detail.
Our mens watches feature rugged stainless steel watch bands, masculine chronograph dials, and water-resistant sports styles. We combine today’s latest trends with vintage inspired looks, like classic leather straps and vintage military details.
Rumours Watch® also offers unisex and couples watches so you can match your timepiece to your personal style. Our interchangeable watch bands allow you to customize your watch for any occasion, effortlessly switching from a sleek metal band to a colorful nylon strap.
Every Rumours Watch® timepiece features Japanese quartz movements, ensuring accurate and reliable timekeeping. Our watches are designed for longevity, with scratch-resistant mineral glass faces and water-resistant construction suitable for everyday wear.

Craftsmanship and Innovation
At Rumours Watch®, we believe the devil is in the details. That’s why we use only premium materials and quality manufacturing processes.
Our watch cases and bands are crafted from materials like:
- Stainless steel – sleek, durable, and hypoallergenic stainless steel in silver, gold, and rose gold tones.
- Genuine leather – supple, comfortable leather straps from tanneries in Italy and America.
- Silicone – flexible and waterproof silicone bands in every color imaginable.
We apply finishes like 18K gold and rose gold plating for lustrous shine. Small touches like decorative subdials, rhinestone accents, and chronograph functionality add visual interest.
Every Rumours Watch® timepiece features a reliable Japanese quartz movement, the industry leader for accuracy and precision. Our watches are designed to be fully functional as well as fashionable.
We are constantly improving our watchmaking techniques and exploring innovative materials and technologies. For example, we use advanced electroplating that allows our stainless steel to better withstand scratches and everyday wear. And our patented adjustable watch band extension allows you to customize the fit.
We’re committed to making beautiful timepieces that will stand the test of time – without the luxury price tag.
