Wristwatch Buyer's Guide

When picking out a watch the first thing you have to ask yourself is: Am I buying a wristwatch to tell time, or a watch to produce a statement? If the answer is the former, then just go to your local store and pick one out from under the case and leave. If you wish to create a statement, then this guide will advice you. Because you aren’t just purchasing a time piece you are buying a piece of jewelry.

The first thing to think about is watch type. The’re two major kinds: quartz and mechanical.

Quartz watches are the most common style watch. They offer a high level of accuracy and constancy. At its core a quartz watch has a piece of quartz that is oscillating at 32,000 vibrations per second and it is that vibration that keeps time. A quartz watch only looses about 10 second every month and it needs a fresh battery every two years. That mean when it is time to adjust the battery your watch is only 4 minutes off. Quartz watches come in 3 major versions. Analog, which is your standard face watch, it has numbers or tick marks for the intervals. Digital, which have a digital readout for the watch’s face; and they can have extra features like GPS, depth sensors, calculators, etc. And finally, anidigi watches, these watches are a hybrid of both. They’ve the standard face for elegance and a digital readout for those extras that are required.

Mechanical watches are a tribute to craftsmanship and they generally cost more because they’ve an internal gear and spring mechanism that keep time. These timepieces are very complex to create, but the side effects is that they can lose minutes every month. These fine timepieces have two main variations. Automatic, these watches use your motion to keep the rotor swing in motion. These watches are great for individuals who where their watch daily because your daily movement will keep the watch rotor moving thus eliminating a cause to wind the watch. The automatic mechanical watch will typically have a clear face so you can see the rotor swinging. Finally, there’s the manual wind watch, which needs daily winding.

Next, you should look at the watch materials. Precious metal wristwatches (gold, silver, platinum, etc) can accent a fantastic classic look. Aluminum wristwatches are very durable and they resist stain and corrosion. Also consider stainless steel, carbon fiber or titanium watches; all of these are very durable and get a sport or business feel to them.

Finally, think about the features you wish or need in your timepiece. Calendars, chronographs, tachymeter, world clocks and water resistance are all features you may need or want.

Remember, a wrist watch is an investment, a statement and a piece of jewelry simultaneously.
