Top Tips To Choose The Right Watch For A Man

Picking a watch for a man can be hard. There are so many options, brands, styles and designs – it’s hard to know where to start.

This guide has been created to remove the mystique from having to do so and making the whole process a lot easier.

It’s almost too easy.

Well, to what extent is your husband or boyfriend casual? His personality should reflect in the watch you choose for him. Let’s say the man is stylish and fashionable, then a voguish watch is his thing. If he’s casual whether at home and outside the house, then an informal-looking watch will match him. If he’s a spot fanatic let the watch you pick for him follow suit. Whatever the case, let the watch you choose for your man massively match his personality and satisfy his desires.

Every man should have a watch that suits his home and work environment. So you may find that if the guy in your life works in a casual environment, a single watch will serve the purpose. And sometimes, he may want two, one as a backup in case the other becomes defective.

Price

In terms of price, sports watches cost less, compared to casual and formal watches. And the design of this particular watch differs from the rest. For sports watches, that which matters most is their functionality. They’re timely stopped for timing and often are inclusive of other functions, such as a compass, in-built thermometers, diving depths and also pitching speed readers. One of the fanciest sports watches is the Omega Seamaster. It boasts colossal features from its night vision, a compass to the tachometers. What an incredible watch!

Do you need a classy watch? Here’s my expert tip – purchase the one with stainless steel straps. They’re much more powerful than the normal traditional leather strap. Better still they’ll serve you fully – casual enough for home purposes and dressy enough for the office. Its inability to rust and water-resistant nature makes stainless steel a superb pick. Everyone needs a waterproof watch. No one wants to frequent the stores every time water spills on the watch. Though in most cases only divers swim with their watches on, so this is not an option to worry about.

If you’re filthy rich, then gold or gold plating may be an option. However, gold watch bands may have a few cons. They’re very expensive and may alarm thieves. Many people prefer to wear replica watches of the ones they own if they’re out and about so they don’t have to worry about a mugging. They look the same, are high quality nowadays but cost a lot less.

The specific watch part that holds the analog or digital time reading may come in different sizes and shapes. Men with large arms should put on a watch that matches their wrist sizes. If not careful they’re likely to pick a very tiny one. In connection to this, watches with smaller faces may not match plus sized men, instead they may appear feminine. Many watches with over-sized faces will perfectly suit most men. For a watch to look excellent, you must relate the size of the watch face to the span of the wrist.

Finally, watches and their bands come in different colors. Some may come with drawings of sports teams, car brands, or music artists. Choose a color that matches your personal needs. A sports teams themed watch is not appropriate for official settings, so better use such at home.

By simply considering a few guidelines, the watch you pick for your man will leave a lasting impression. Have in mind his preferences and personal style then proceed to make a selection.
