My Top 10 Watch Trends for 2020 are:

* increased direct sales distribution models requiring:
- oil-less sealed movements
- increased warranty and service interval time periods to 10+ years
- self-serve no-tool removable bracelet sizing and link removal
* increased brand certified pre-owned to limit and control grey market supply
* increased focus on Watch as Art including new case shapes (e.g. vintage Cartier) & non-traditional dial materials (e.g. Hublot and Seiko)
* environmentally renewable case & strap materials
* decreased case sizes 38mm-40mm
* blurring of watch media and AD networks to include more influencer style "advertorials"
* increased importance and acceptance of independent watchmakers as drivers of innovation in the industry
