Hello and welcome everyone! In this myTake, I'll focus on some tips/steps to choose the right watch for you! So read it carefully and 'Watch' yourself. What?? Oh okay, I'm starting lol
1) Decide the type of watch you want
It's very important to know your preference. Analog? Digital? or both? There are other like mechanical and automatic too.
Analog watches are generally powered by an electrified quartz crystal which vibrates more than 32,000 times per second. as far as I can remember lol). They get electricity from a battery and they're incredibly accurate and quite affordable. They lie on a classy side and tbh I've always preferred em over digital watches. Analog attracts me lol.
Digital watches on the other hand, are more sporty and funky. To represent the time, most digital clocks use LED, VFD, or LCD for each of four digits. They generally also include other elements to indicate whether the time is AM or PM. They work on battery too and are generally loaded with a lot of features than classic analog watches.
2) Choose the band
Which band do you want? There are many types of bands ranging from leather to polyurethane. I love leather and rubber one, metal seems heavy to me, leather is always on the classic side. So you should always know what do you want.
3) Determine your price range
You should always know what you can afford. Checking expensive watches when your pocket is tight, won't take you anywhere. Go for Rolex, Tag Heuer, Rolex, Gucci etc or you can go to relative cheaper brands like Timex, Seiko, Orient, Casio, Fossil etc.
4) Check if it matches your wardrobe
This is a must while buying a watch. You won't be much happy after buying a premium watch and finding later that it doesn't go with more than half of your outfits. So, buy one that you can really wear.
5) Be clear with your purpose
You should know where you're gonna wear the watch: at work, events, daily use or for a baseball match. This will help you choosing the real type of watch. You can buy a premium and heavy looking watch for special occasions but you'll probably prefer a light looking one for daily use.
6) Get a durable watch
You can't really tell by looking at one, but you can check its ratings by the manufacturer but you can always check the manufacturer to make sure they have a reputation of good watches. And yeah, not all expensive things are good, sometimes you can get a decent quality watch at much lower price too!
7) Check for water resistance
For some people, it may not be much important but to be at a safer side, you can always get a watch which is water resistant so you don't get depressed if you drop it in water accidentally and unless you see a marking for meters (like 30m, 100m) assume that it cannot be worn in water.
