A Watch is a Bonus Weapon for Men, but How to Choose It?

May 10,2022/Buying Guides

How does a man make a good impression on others when they meet for the first time? In addition to shiny leather shoes and decent conversation, a chic men's watch is also a weapon for extra points. But how to choose a watch that suits you is actually a question that even senior watch fans are sometimes confused about. With the change of economic situation, aesthetic awareness and taste, each watch friend will more or less doubt his own choice. Let's talk about how to choose a personal watch from three aspects. 


Ⅰ. Choose men's watches according to style


1. Business style men's watch


In relatively formal business occasions, the dress code is relatively high, usually suits are the main thing, so in such occasions, the choice of personal watches needs to be biased towards business style, and the low-key style design shows a very high gentleman. Demeanor and clothing taste.


Daily business needs to show a capable and excellent temperament, so the choice of personal watches needs to show more professionalism. The appearance shows people with a low-key and luxurious design, which will not be too dazzling, giving people a sense of sight and grace.


2. Casual men's watches


In addition to business occasions, personal watches often appear in daily life in the role of casual decoration, improving the sophistication of men's daily wear. For example, sports watches, driving watches, etc., are more high-profile in terms of design, and can be the icing on the cake for casual occasions or sports moments.


The design of this type of men's watch is usually unconstrained, some are extremely simple, some are exaggerated and eye-catching, but they can be easily integrated in casual occasions, adding a sense of sophistication to men. However, even a minimalist casual watch is still not suitable for business occasions, after all, it is not formal enough.


Ⅱ. Choose men's watches according to power


Men's watches can be divided into two categories according to the power of their movements: springs and batteries, which in fact represent the mechanical watches and quartz watches we often say. Due to the difference in power, these two watches are also slightly different in style.


1. Clockwork men's watch


The watch with the kinetic energy provided by the mainspring is matched with the traditional movement and grinding process, with the subtle collision and friction of the gears, and it is like a noble gentleman in the watch industry. A personal watch powered by a mainspring can be used for a long time as long as it is properly maintained, but there are disadvantages of "forgetting to wind" and "insufficient power".


A mechanical watch powered by a mainspring is unmatched by a battery watch because of its long tradition and intricate structure, and it can bring a sense of dynamism and vitality. Therefore, this type of personal watch is more suitable for people who pursue mechanical beauty and care more about the feeling of time.


2. Battery-operated men's watches


Different from the energy supply method of clockwork, quartz watches made of batteries rely on the release of electrical energy to achieve the timing effect. Inside a quartz watch is an oscillator called a quartz movement, which, when powered on, vibrates at a specific frequency to count time.


In terms of timing, quartz watches are more accurate than clockwork-powered mechanical watches, with fewer errors. At the same time, the production process is also simpler than that of mechanical watches, so the price is relatively close to the people, suitable for most men. However, the battery has a limited lifespan and needs to be replaced every one to two years.


Ⅲ. Choose men's watches according to the material of the strap


The material of the strap of a men's watch is also an important factor affecting the appearance of the watch, which determines the overall style of the watch. From the perspective of common strap materials, we can roughly divide it into two aspects: metal materials and non-metal materials. Let's take a look at it together.


1. Men's watch made of metal


The metal material has a unique luster, which can easily create a high-level texture. Due to the properties of metal, these personal watch straps are usually more durable, last longer than other materials, and are easier to clean without dulling.


However, the metal strap still has shortcomings. Because the metal directly contacts the skin for a long time, the strap is more prone to fouling, resulting in partial wear. Exposure to sweat can also tarnish the strap, so it needs to be cleaned frequently. In addition, watches with metal straps are usually more expensive, and men need to choose carefully.


2. Men's watches made of non-metallic materials


If the strap is made of non-metallic materials, the style usually displayed is relatively gentle. In terms of wearing comfort, the personal watch straps made of non-metallic materials are also better, especially in the cold autumn and winter seasons, such materials are worn. It will be more warm and comfortable.


However, non-metallic straps are more prone to aging and fracture, so they are not as good as metal straps in terms of use time. This type of watch is more visually elegant and restrained, so if your temperament and dressing style are mostly mild-mannered, then this type of watch is definitely for you.
