It has long been acknowledged that a watch is a man’s most important accessory but how do you go about choosing the right watch for you? A man’s watch says a lot about him so it’s important he makes the right choice.
Factors to consider when choosing a men’s watch
Leather strap v stainless steel bracelet: My father once said to me “son, there are two types of men in this world, those who prefer leather strapped watches and those who prefer…” Ok, I may be paraphrasing slightly but it’s true nonetheless, a lot of men will only wear stainless steel watches while others swear by leather straps. Know your preference before investing in a new watch.
Your lifestyle: It might sound obvious but make sure you choose a watch that fits both your style and lifestyle. Mrs Product Editor ensures me there’s nothing worse than a well dressed man with a below standard watch. Choose a watch that befits your style.
The face & design: The design of the watch and ion particular its style of face is obviously critical when choosing the perfect watch. If you have large hands and arms make sure you choose an appropriately large and chunky design. If you dress for work or are attending a more formal occasion it’s always better to wear a suitable more dressy timepiece.
Water resistance: Not all watches are water resistant. If you’re a swimmer, diver or surfer make sure you check your watches water resistance before you jump in.
Colour: Black and brown leather straps along with stainless steel are the classic colours and styles but brighter colours are becoming more popular in men’s watches. Coloured watches are a great way to brighten up an outfit but they don’t work for more formal occasions, ideal for the beach though!
