Men’s Best Watches Guide

As you may already be aware of, watches became more than mere gadgets that tells time. With the advancements technology is achieving, it became harder for the watches to find their place in the market. Nowadays, phones and computers contain options that tell the time alongside with other things one may find interesting whether he or she is working or doing day-to-day tasks. This fact did not persuade people to give up using and buying watches, on the contrary, the watch making market has made it to the top list of industries that make huge sums of money on early basis, not because of the quantity of products they sell but with the quality. Good watches cost thousands of dollars, there are also various watches that can only cost dozens or hundreds but the quality is very low, these types of watches however is not our subject, we are interested in high quality watches and the higher the quality the higher the price is.

This article will focus on mechanical time watches and not the regular and most common quartz and replicas. To get the most knowledge from this article you should do your research as you read along. In the market, there are a lot of fake watches that trick the customer into buying something of low quality with a very high price, we are hoping that by the end of this article you will be able to distinguish between the two or at least have a notion about what to buy. But the most important thing to know is that you should not buy a watch labeled “watch” or “quartz”, good brands are what you are looking for, and that is exactly your aim.

Mechanical time watches are unique and intricately made, this why you should be aware of various stuff such as the price of each one, what brand produce the best watches, which style should i go with, which one is better; automatic or manual and so on. It is really a personal thing when it comes to choosing a watch with one of these features, tastes differs from an individual to another, but the advice remains is that your should deliberately think about what will suit you best.

Style

The first thing your should consider is the style. By determining your style, your will be able to know exactly what your are looking for and eventually avoid being confused and distracted by other watches. Figure out if you are buying this watch for work and business or for going out to fancy places or just for weekend and sportif purposes, once you do this it will become easier for you to know. As a small introduction to style, we would like to inform you with this: on one hand sport watches are significantly larger, they are usually made of straps such as rubber and sometimes leather. On the other hand classic watches have a fit look into them, they look more slim and they are smaller in comparison with sports watches. There are also watches that can be worn whilst doing hard tasks such as hunting and woodcutting,  they can be considered as sports watches but they are more resistant and stronger than the others, they are also bigger. Categorizing watches is a personal thing what i might find classy your may find sportif, keep in mind this fact as your go along picking watches

Automatic V. Manual

Automatic and manual movements of the watch are two different things, it is all about the winding the watch. Automatic movements watches wind themselves once worn, they do that just by wearing them whereas manual watches require that your do the winding yourself. You ought to do a research in order to know exactly which one is better, as for us we recommend that your buy an automatic watch that has  a watch winder, this way you can combine between these two options.

The Prices and Budget

As for the price, it depends on how thick your bank account is, or how educated you are about the market, there are plenty of good watches for a very reasonable price. Collections of male and female watches are usually cheaper if you buy them together than buy them separately. The best and most realistic thing to do when you want to set your budget is doubling it, this way it won’t be a shocking matter for you when you eventually end up losing more money than your have thought of. No matter how expensive a good watch maybe, remember that it can last up to hundreds of years, your can pass it to your children or grand children, that is of course if you took care of it, and who would not take care of a 3000 or 4000 dollars watch. This life-time investment decisions should be bold, just go for it, your might regret something, but the only thing you will regret is not buying the most expensive one and the one with highest quality.
