How to choose a men’s watch

We asked this question to be answered online store customer service specialist bestwatch.ru Romana Zakirova.

First of all, Roman notes, it is worth paying attention to the appearance of the watch, as well as remembering your own wardrobe, since at the moment we choose watches by their appearance. Functionality comes second, because we can learn time from different sources.

Conventionally, all watches can be divided into several categories: Sport, Classic, Military, Retro, Casual. Accordingly, Casual watches are more suitable for the universal category. Usually these are produced by designer brands, for example, the Texas concern Fossil Group (Fossil, Diesel, Armani, etc.) or brands with their own unique atmosphere Earnshaw and Bulova. Watch brands in the Casual category have separate collections that can be recognized by exterior elements, such as a leather strap without embossing and alligator dressing. Marks are most often in the form of risks, and not Arabic or Roman numerals. The absence of bright and catchy prints, colors in the design. Simple functionality, as well as the absence of hints of a sporty or classic (suit look), for example, a tachymeter scale on the bezel of a sports watch, and the classic ones give out the design of the hands: xiphoid, Breguet hands, etc.

At the same time, the expert notes, there is a category of timeless watches – these are watches on a metal bracelet and the so-called diving watches, which are great for every day. As an example, Roman cited Casio G-Shock and their relatively new GST series, where a combination of a metal case with a rubber strap is increasingly common. “Looks cool and just right for every day,” concludes Roman.

Our expert also spoke about the materials from which watches are made and their features.

As for the operation of the watch, Roman strongly recommends that you carefully study the attached instructions in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
