What To Consider When Buying A Watch – Key Things To Remember

Buying a watch is usually not just a simple decision, like going into the local jewellery shop or going online and buying the first watch you lay your eyes. Because a watch is both an item of jewellery and something that serves a useful function in every day life, getting the balance between style and reliability becomes even more important when purchasing a watch.

Below, we look at the some of the factors and choices you may need to take into account when purchasing your next watch.

Price – Probably one of the largest factors for the majority of us when choosing a watch is the price or your budget. It is a good idea to work out how much you have to spend before going online or visiting a shop, as once you are looking at all of the fabulous watches it can be quite hard to resist something you can not really afford, and this just leads to regrets and big credit card bills. Although most brands offer a wide choice when it comes to range and pricing, there are brands that specialise in the less expensive watches and of course brands that go well up into the thousands.

Brand – Some people like the same brand time and time again and other will want to try different things, makes and manufacturers; the choice is really all yours! The main reason people stick with the same brand is when they have had a positive experience or the product they have purchased previously has lasted them for a longer period of time than expected. Brand loyalty is something every company aims for, but sometimes trying something different is the only way to find out if there is something better out there.

Style – All watch manufactures tend to have their own unique style. Watches like Citizen and Accurist are more along the lines of traditional and hard working watches, where as watches from Ice and Seksy are more down the design line of being light, funky and a little bit different compared to the rest. It is important to make sure that your watch reflects your personality and style, as wearing something you do not feel comfortable in will only mean you will not wear the watch with price.

Popularity – Do you want to wear a watch that is currently being displayed on the wrists of many celebrities or would you prefer to try something new and create a little fashion trend of your own? Some of the watches like Seksy, Ice and Sekonda are being worn by some of the top celebrities on the planet, but this doesn’t always mean you have to follow suit, as you could always pick something to suit your style rather than wear something that everyone else is.

Durability – It is important to make sure you consider why, how and where you will generally be wearing a watch. If you were looking for a watch to wear in an a work environment, you would need to try and find a watch that was durable and could handle the odd bump or shock, as a designer watch made for dinner evenings would probably not be suitable. If you plan to wear you watch for many different occasions, you will need to try and find a mixture of looks and wear ability, as you want your watch to last and survive everything you will be putting it through.
