Women know how important it is to accessorize and that no outfit is complete until their clothes are complemented with the right jewellery. The watch should never be overlooked as a poor choice of style will look completely out of place with your outfit. Manufacturers of designer watches tend to create a wide range of timepieces to suit every occasion, but with so many distinctive and beautiful watches on the market how do you go about choosing the right watch for the right occasion?
You should start by deciding whether you wish to purchase a quartz or mechanical watch. Watches with a quartz movement tend to be cheaper and require less maintenance as they are more reliable and tend to be more practical. Watches with a mechanical movement are miniature works of engineering and craftsmanship and therefore tend to be more for show. It is for this reason that they tend to be less reliable, however they quite often become heirlooms and increase in value. If you are looking to buy a watch as a long term investment then you should opt for the mechanical watch.
The next thing to look at is the material that comprises the watch casing. Many high end fashion watches will have cases made of silver, platinum or gold however other quality designer watches may come in stainless steel, plastic or even resin. If you are looking for a watch that you intend to keep for a long time then it is perhaps sensible to select a fine metal watch. These types of watches work particularly well with a business outfit. In order to be completely sure of the quality you should check the authenticity of the metal as well as the warranty that comes with the packaging before you buy.
Just as it is important to know what material you want the casing to be made of, you also need to choose the material that the crystal (covering of the watch) comprises of. Cheaper watches tendto have a crystal made of plastic which can easily become damaged or scratched. If you are buying a more expensive watch you should opt for a glass or sapphire crystal covering. These types of face covering are a bit more expensive, however they are far more resistant to scratching and in most cases will improve the water resistance of your watch too.
Your choice of bracelet should also reflect the amount of time that you expect to keep the watch. You should also read up on the features that you are looking to expect from your watch. Common specifications include water and weather resistance or perhaps you will want additional features such as a chronograph or a chronometer. When spending a large amount of money you will also want to ensure that your purchase comes with a company guarantee, exchange policy and maintenance instructions. Scrutunizing every feature is vital as the more elements there are to your watch, the more precision work must go into manufacturing it.
With all this in mind you should have a good idea how to go about finding the watch that is right for you.
