You have to look at all the details when you buy a man’s watch, and one of the key criteria is the color of the watch.
Most men’s watches follow the classic conventions of style and color, but dials and straps in an increasing range of colors is a trend on both expensive men’s watches and the most reasonable alternatives.
Your personality will be the key consideration in selecting the color and design of a man’s watch. The conventional and least risky choices will be neutral tones, whites, and sober browns and blacks. A more outgoing personality could go into shades like blue, grey and soft, warm reds. And the most experimental options are strong candy colors and vibrant, fluorescent tones.
Your lifestyle and personality will be another important factor in selecting color, especially if you have a number of watches in your collection. Many people feel that even if the classic, traditional styling is appropriate for some occasions, there will be other opportunities where one can experiment with unusual designs and colors.
The color you choose will also depend on the kind of watch you are opting for. Funkier and interesting colors may look stunning on a sporty watch or a contemporary and perhaps technical design. More traditional colors simply don’t suit these styles as well. Equally, an over bright jazz pattern looks inappropriate on a watch strap securing a timeless classic style.
When you are building a collection of men’s watches, you can afford to mix and match – but start with the tried and tested, colors and styles that will fit into the broadest range of settings from formal to casual. The trendy and vivacious colors can be kept for disposable fun watches, or maybe the third or fourth watch that you buy.
