Watches - this Season's Hottest Accessory
Watches
are so much more than just a way to arrive on time. They are also
a fashion statement, both for men and women. A watch can be a
major investment, and it is also something you'll wear every day.
When
choosing a watch, consider style, technology and price. Here are some
tips for choosing the perfect watch:
First, decide on the style you prefer.
- Do you
like the classic look of a leather strap, or do you prefer the
more modern metal strap?
- Is a sporty
feel more your style, or are you going for something more elegant?
- What type
of face do you like? Some people prefer the traditional look
of an analog watch, while others appreciate the ease of reading
a digital face.
Consider fashion trends as you look at
watches. "Right now, we're seeing a big trend toward large watches with
diamonds," says Natalia Sokolova of Bidz.com, an online auction site
that specializes in jewelry.
Decide on the movement
The movement of the watch determines its accuracy and reliability, and
is another factor to consider.
- A mechanical
watch needs to be wound manually.
- An automatic
watch has a movement that is similar to a mechanical watch,
but it self-winds using the movement of the wearer.
- A quartz
movement provides a very precise and accurate time measurement.
Which functions do you want?
Today's watches offer everything from the
day, date and dual time to alarm. Would you use a stopwatch function?
Is it important for your watch to be waterproof?
How much do you want to spend?
Now that you know what style and functions you prefer, you can see
what's available in your price range. Watches can be an expensive
purchase, but there are ways to find a good deal.
