subject: Things To Look For When Purchasing A Watch [print this page]


Even if we wear them just as accessories or we really need them, watches are very important to complete an outfit. You can be a chic as a James Bond or really elegant if you choose a classy watch for your evening dress, or a real Batman with the modern version. But before purchasing one think very well what type of character you are, and what features should the watch have to suit all your needs.

First of all think about the design. If you want to wear it with a suit, or at a formal occasion, you should definitely go for a classical one. You can never go wrong with classical items in an outfit. If you choose a more modern look, wear a watch with many other features, besides the obvious one of telling time. Sometimes for women they are exactly like a piece of jewelry. That is why for an elegant dress, a simple but classy one, with a fabulous bracelet can make all the difference. Furthermore, men don't usually wear jewelry, except for the wedding ring. So the others will definitely notice the watch on the wrist.

A second distinction you should be aware of is that between mechanical and electronic watches. The mechanical ones are those that need winding either manually or by a movement of the wrist. They usually come in a classical, more traditionally design, and last longer. The second type is best represented by those that have a quartz crystal, activated by a battery. Furthermore, famous brands offer their clients other alternatives in what concerns the movement, like automatic ones, solar powered, chronograph or kinetic watches. More active people appreciate additional features, like being waterproof or resistant to extreme temperatures.

Obviously the price is very important when you decide to buy a watch. There is one really important thing you should know. A good watch is one that you can resale latter for almost the same price. This is why it is good to invest in one with a classical design, one you can rely on in what concerns precision and can match to almost everything. Expensive watches should be bought only from authorized dealers. This way you can avoid purchasing a fake one.

Purchasing a watch implies making a choice according to what you need. Besides movement, durability or design, it is really important to get one that suits your needs.
