Points to note when choosing a watch

  When choosing a watch, you need to focus on five aspects: its category, shape, colour, pattern, and functions.

  (1) Type

  Depending on the criteria used, watches can be divided into many different categories. In social settings, people generally distinguish categories based on price. Following this standard, watches can be divided into four classes: luxury watches, high-end watches, mid-range watches, and budget watches. In terms of market price, luxury watches cost above 10000, high-end watches range between 2000 and 10000, mid-range watches range between 500 and 2000, and budget watches cost below 500. When choosing a specific category of watch, you should first live within your means and avoid overextending yourself. In addition, you must also consider a series of related factors such as your personal profession, the occasions you attend, the people you socialise with, and other accessories you choose to wear.

  (2) Shape

  The design and shape of a watch are often related to its status and grade. Watches worn on formal occasions should be dignified and conservative in appearance, avoiding anything eccentric or trendy. Gentlemen, especially those in senior positions or of advanced age, need to pay particular attention to this. Novel or flashy designs are only suitable for young girls and children. Generally speaking, circular, oval, square, rectangular, and diamond-shaped watches have a dignified and conservative look, making them suitable for a very wide range of applications and particularly ideal for formal wear.

  (3) Colour

  When selecting a watch for formal occasions, avoid overly complex or cluttered colours. Single-tone or two-tone watches are generally preferable; models featuring three or more colours should be avoided. Whether single-tone or two-tone, the colour scheme must remain clean, refined, and elegant. Timepieces in gold, silver, or black—where the dial, case, and strap or bracelet share the same shade—are ideal choices. A watch featuring a gold case and bracelet paired with a cream dial is equally timeless and will never fall out of fashion.

  (4) Pattern

  Apart from numbers, trademarks, manufacturer names, and brand logos, there is no need for any other non-functional patterns on a watch. This is especially important to remember when choosing a watch for formal occasions. If a watch features bizarre and varied patterns, it will not only be unhelpful for daily use but may also make you a laughing stock.

  (5) Complications

  Timekeeping is the most important function of a watch. Therefore, watches used for formal occasions—whether analogue, digital, or chiming—should possess this function and be accurate to the hour and minute, with accuracy to the second being even better. A watch that is only accurate to the hour clearly fails to meet the requirement. Certain additional functions, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, direction, blood pressure, walking pace, and so on, are optional and ideally omitted. In short, a watch's functions should be few, refined, and practically useful.
