Since the beginning of product development time, men have been able to enjoy, show off, display their personality through accessories. Wrist watches are considered as a fashion and personal accessory that men wear for a variety of reasons.
The basic function, which is to keep track of time is most important of course. But other factors include fashion style and personal taste. This is where you really have to decide what suits you the most.
How to Choose a Watch that Fits Your Style
When men are in the market for wristwatches there are a variety of elements that you should take into consideration.
"...The basic function, which is to keep track of time is most important. Other factors include fashion style and personal taste..."
First and foremost is the design. Aesthetically, you as a man can base your decision on a wrist watch simply by what appeases your desire the most. Whether the design is minimalist or luxurious, there are a plethora of options available at your discretion.
Here are a few elements you will have to choose between:
- Leather or Metal: The two most common types of bands are leather and metal. Leather bands are seen as dressier, and better suited towards more formal environments like the office or a nice restaurant. A metal band on a watch is better suited for the golf course, ocean or cruising around in your car
- Quartz versus Automatic: A quartz watch is a highly mechanized way of getting a clock’s hand to tick. For some, this is the only way. Most watches you’ll buy are automatic, which to the untrained eye is perfectly fine. But if you want to become a true consumer you may consider a more pricey quartz watch
- Price: Watches can expensive. This comes as no surprise as many of them are true pieces of art and will last a lifetime (with the occasional change in battery or adjustment). Being on a budget is perfectly fine, as there are plenty of options even as low as $100 or less!
- Material: Another element includes material that you feel comfortable and confident wearing on a frequent basis. When you wear a wristwatch, typically you are wearing it for a few hours at a time. With this in mind, the material should be something you are content to wear and depend upon for a long time.
- Style: Beyond just a leather or metal band, there are different designs. These include dress watches, aviator watches, diving watches and more! There are plenty to choose from, and you will certainly find one that fits you.
In this article we are going to cover a wide variety of wrist watches that men can choose from. A variety of wrist watches in this list will include different styles, designs, and materials fitting for just about every man to examine.
