A man’s watch is one of the most important accessories that helps in creating a style. So, how do you choose a watch?
- Lifestyle: If you have a varied lifestyle, you need variety in your accessories. It’s a great idea to have one watch for work and another for play. If you are going for a classic, cook look, consider buying a designer watch with a classic design. A trendy or sportif style calls for a more fashionable men’s watch.
- Stainless steel: This is the most durable and most practical buy, but it is also a style statement that is versatile enough to go with a formal suit or to wear for more casual occasions.
- The watch face: The size and style of the face of the watch are important issues in selecting a watch. It needs to compare well to the wrist of the wearer. On men with a bigger build, a standard watch can seem too small and actually ends up looking like a ladies watch. In any case oversized faces have become a trend among the makers of men’s watches; for a fashionable look, go for a big watches with a larger than usual face.
- Water resistance: Many men’s watches that can resist moisture for a meter or two of depth, but some can cope with up to 50 meters or more. It might seem a great idea to bath or swim without having to remove your man’s watch – even though there are very few people who actually do that. Knowing that your watch has the capability designed right into it is the important thing.
- Color: The color of the watch strap and face are a style trend, with bright and exciting colors increasingly used by men’s watchmakers. In practice the bright colors tend to be associated with fun, less expensive men’s watches; the classier and pricier watches are usually more conventional and more neutral in their use of color.
