The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Watch
Choosing the perfect watch can be an emotional, subjective experience. A good watch is an extension of your personality. Although we are not in the business of telling people what watches to buy, we feel it is our responsibility to help our audience understand the intricacies of how watches are made and function, so that they can make better decisions for themselves.
Determine your reasons for purchasing a watch
When you’re in the market for a new watch, the decision process can be daunting. Do you want to go with a basic model? Maybe it’s time to splurge on something more high-end? And how much do you want to spend?
Do you need a watch that tells time? If so, how accurate does it need to be? Are there special features or functions you’d like to see in a watch? Do you need a watch that’s water-resistant and rugged, or would something dressier do the trick? Maybe you’re just looking to replace an old watch, but you’re not sure which type of model will suit your needs best. Or maybe you’re not even sure what kind of watch to purchase at all!
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, don’t worry. Whether you’re buying a watch as a gift or are purchasing one strictly for personal pleasure, limiting your focus to the unique elements of a brand’s values is key. Also, after identifying the type of watch, you want, searching for a style that speaks to you is essential. This guide will help you through the decision-making process and answer any questions in your watch search.
What type of watch are you looking for?
Watches fall into different categories: dress, sport, and every day. Dress watches are conservatively styled and are best suited for formal occasions. Sport watches are designed to be rugged and durable. They are also often more expensive as they may have a larger quartz crystal or a more complex automatic movement. Everyday watches, sometimes referred to as “fashion” watches, are less expensive than the other two types, but they still need to meet certain criteria to separate them from the run-of-the-mill fashion piece.
How much should you spend?
When purchasing a watch whether a fashion piece or a luxury watch, you should not spend more than you can afford. If you can afford to spend more, that is all the better; however, if you find yourself stretched financially to purchase a luxury watch, it might be worthwhile to reevaluate whether it is truly worth the cost. Because luxury watches are status symbols, they are often priced accordingly. Luxury watches are not just expensive watches; they are also well-made timepieces with intricate details and craftsmanship. Designed to last and provide value to the user.
Make your final decision
Price is the primary factor for most people when choosing a new watch. This is simply an economic fact. If you are not a consumer looking for good value, then you are not looking out for your own best interest–a financial miscalculation. What “value” means can vary, however. What you are looking for is the type of watch you’ll enjoy for a long time, to avoid buyer’s remorse. Be sure to trust the seller you are buying your watch from because when it comes to good customer service and satisfaction, businesses that sell consumer goods should make sure they give you any refunds or warranty replacements. Trust means that the seller is legitimate and that you are buying a real product.
