How To Buy The Best Watch For You
What features should I? look for?
With so many brands, styles, materials and colours to choose from, it makes sense to use the following factors to narrow your selection down:
Size – The size of your watch is essential. On average, men's watches have a case width or diameter of 35mm, which is just under 1.4 inches. Casual Women's Watches typically have a case width or diameter of less than 34mm but watches are trending towards larger case sizes for both men and women.
Movement – This is the mechanism or technology used to keep time and, on a analogue watch, move the hands around. An automatic movement winds itself while worn and does not need a battery. But it will stop ticking if you don’t wear it for a period of time and Watches with this mechanism cost more. A quartz movement uses a battery to power it and is generally considered to be the most accurate type, as well as being lower maintenance and cheaper. Swiss and Japanese quartz made movements are considered the best.
Style – This ranges from understated, minimal-looking wristwear (currently all the rage) to something bling or bold, solid or statement. Look for a Best Casual Watches that will still look good in a year or even five to 10 years (depending on how long you want it to last) yet will still make a impact now.
Brand – Some companies such as Rotary and Patek Phillippe have been making watches for centuries, whereas Νordgreen is brand spanking new, but already making quite a impact. Just because you haven’t heard of the brand doesn't mean they’re not worth spending on, but you may need to do more research first. I?f you’re choosing a Casual Luxury Watches made by a fashion brand, remember that they are not necessarily any better made than cheaper watches just because of their higher price point. That’s not to say they’re rubbish – but you may be paying more for the name than for a superior movement or materials.
Country of Origin – Some countries are at the forefront of both watch fashion and the engineering behind them. The most notable examples are Switzerland and Japan.
