How to Choose a Watch That Suits You

    From initially being a simple timing tool, watches have evolved into accessories that reflect identity, temperament, and taste. For people, especially men, they appear even more important! Choosing a watch that suits you is also of paramount importance! So how should we choose?

Mastering Performance Indicators

    When you walk into a boutique, you first need to master the following five basic performance indicators of a watch. In fact, if you can master them, you can become a watch expert.

    Water resistance: The appearance of water-resistant watches has reduced tragic incidents to a certain extent. However, we must be clear: the water-resistant performance of different watches varies. Want to avoid taking off your watch when swimming or showering? That is fine, as long as your watch indicates a water-resistant performance of 100 metres or above.

    Quartz watch: Quartz watches rely on battery power and quartz oscillation for calibration, possessing incomparable advantages. They keep time more accurately and have a more obvious value than any other form of watch.

    Functionality: In addition to the basic time-telling function, an excellent watch can have more practical features, such as a calendar function and chronograph, which can make your sense of time more precise.

    Mobility: Who would want the components and hands of the watch they purchased to move unsmoothly?

    Automatic winding: Many nights, we fall straight to sleep, only to wake up halfway through the night: I forgot to wind my watch! Rest assured, a watch with an automatic winding function will leave you with no more worries.

Matching with Overall Attire

    Just like choosing clothes, glasses, and handbags, when choosing a watch, it must also be consistent with your overall outfit. Follow the steps below, and you will also shine brilliantly.

    1) Choose colour based on strap material. If the strap is made of leather, then keeping the strap colour consistent with the shoe colour is quite logical. This pairing might look slightly outdated, but it is indeed a very sensible match.

    2) Keep it consistent with your own temperament. Whether your personality is introverted or extroverted, whether you are keen on sports or advocate simplicity, the watch should match your temperament. A gentleman who practises a low-profile lifestyle will obviously not choose an exaggerated large-dial watch.

    3) Are you too lazy to bother considering various pairings? It does not matter. A watch with a pure black or pure white dial, combined with a leather or stainless steel bracelet, can be matched with any clothing and gear.

    4) Keep it consistent with the environment. Watches are used to complement the environment and status, and one should not excessively pursue flashiness and eye-catching designs. Therefore, different occasions require different watches. When attending celebratory events, you can choose delicate, cute, and pretty ones. Conversely, when attending memorial events and the like, you should strive for a low-profile and plain appearance; a watch with a black leather strap is a good choice.

Words and Deeds Should Match the Watch

    A well-dressed gentleman would never engage in vulgar conversation; they discuss refined topics such as concerts or business economics. Therefore, one should be mindful of their conduct and avoid wearing a prestigious watch while gossiping about celebrities. Such behaviour only diminishes one's status and refinement, inviting ridicule from others.
