The wristwatch replaced the pocket watch decades ago as a symbol of elegance, reliability or practicality and reveals a lot about its owner. Nowadays it is considered one of the most beautiful accessories and deserves a special mention. Choosing a watch for you therefore requires careful thought and following a few guidelines, and we're here to help!
Your style, your watch
With the addition of a strap, men's wearing of a watch has become much more common, to the point where they've become, in a sense, essential. Thanks to this significant change, today there is a wide range of models for every taste, style and need. We introduce you to the three most important categories of wristwatches:
⦁ The classics. If you like a simple and modest look without sacrificing elegance, this type of watch is your best choice. In this category you will find timeless watches, which usually have a metal case, where the bracelet is very important. Get a leather bracelet to match the rectangular shape and it will suit any special occasion.
⦁ The sporty watches. These watches are also timeless - it is very unlikely that they will ever go out of style. They are made for all-rounders: they are durable, light and often have a thermometer and a barometer. Very versatile, they have a round shape with a metal or rubber strap that makes them very durable for everyday use.
⦁ The informal clocks. This category includes all mixed forms between classic and sporty watches and is therefore the most extensive group. With the casual models, the focus is on aesthetics, with the aim of making them suitable for everyday use. It's not just about variety, it's also about watches that change with fashion and where you can change the straps to create a different look.
Let's think about the size
The average man's wrist is 15 to 18 cm in diameter, a standard size that will fit any watch, small or large.
On wrists with a diameter of less than 15 cm, however, you should avoid round watches with a dial diameter of more than 40 mm, otherwise they will look a bit out of place. On the other hand, with a wrist diameter of more than 20 cm, you should not choose watches with a diameter of less than 42 mm, otherwise they might look a bit ridiculous.
Some advice
There are a few details to keep in mind. If you are going to wear the watch every day, you should avoid leather straps, especially in summer! When choosing between analog and digital watches, the former are the most elegant, humble and popular, while the latter offer better precision - so it's up to you!
Once you've decided on your perfect watch, it's best to coordinate it with your shoe and belt style, then you can't go wrong. It is also important to choose the right size without thinking about the material of the bracelet. If you want to do it right, put a finger between your wrist and the bracelet.
While it may seem complicated, by following these steps you will have a watch that fits your lifestyle perfectly and that you can really do something with.
