What Kind of Watch Suits Me?
Since I review watches maybe you're asking, what do I wear on my wrist?
I have a TAG and a Citizen, but as a newbie collector I want them all! I think having variety and different materials when it comes to wearing a timepiece is essential for today's world.
When buying a men's watch, there are many things to consider. Honestly, most men should probably own at least three watches. But the truth is, most men prefer one watch and will wear it regardless of what they're doing.
I am a professional that works in a corporate office building. I own a watch that is thin and blends into my outfit for the day. When I take my wife out to dinner, I put on a flashier watch that says something about my personality. On the weekend, I wear a throw-around kind of watch. One that doesn't matter if I bang it against the lawnmower or take it into a pool.
When purchasing a watch, ask yourself the following questions:
-
What is my price point?
Not to say you can't get a quality watch without breaking the bank, but it's important to realize that for anything with some substance of quality, you're going to have to spend at least a few hundred dollars. Don't be fooled by "nice looking" watches that are extremely cheap. They are junk and will not last. You can get a decent quality watch for well under $500. Watches sell for every price imaginable. You just have to decide where you stand.
-
What materials do I prefer?
Do you like a leather band? How about a metal bracelet? Is gold your style, or stainless steel? Are you looking for a jeweled inner working 12-diamond face, or will a simple white dial do the job?
Leather bands are great. They can be formal or informal. Jewels are going to be flashy and should be contained to watches that you want to show off and flaunt yourself. White and blacks simple faces are conservative, while gold is traditional.
-
Is this an investment piece?
For most of us, the answer is no. Some watches however, do go up in value. For example, it's common that a well-cared-for Rolex Daytona will hold its own and increase in value over time. On the other hand, if you're watch isn't collectible or rare, simply take care of it and know that it can last a lifetime. Perhaps it will be something you hand down to a family member or use the rest of your life.
-
Am I looking for a universal watch, or several depending on the situation?
I talked about my personal situation above, but you must ask yourself this question. If you're looking for a single watch, I would recommend something conservative, yet fun. Perhaps a TAG Heuer. They are incredibly well-built, timelessly styled, and are in the middle-of-the-road when it comes to price. I would choose a dial color that suits you and stick with stainless steel links. If that's not your style, but you still want a single watch, I would go for a nice brown leather banded watch. Anything else is so situationally specific that it's hard to wear it in any setting.
-
What is my personal style?
Are you flashy? Conservative? Outdoorsy? Cube dweller? Whatever your style, pick a watch that compliments it. Watches should be practical. A nightclub owner wearing a calculator watch simply will not do. You get my drift. Whatever your style, always comparison shop when choosing a watch. Personally, I'm a big Amazon shopper. There is almost any watch conceivable there, most backed by full warranties and easily returnable. What I like most is that there is no tax and shipping is generally is free or inexpensive.
