How to choose the right men's watch

When choosing a men's watch, you should focus not only on the appearance and brand, but also on other criteria:

Cost. A wristwatch should not stand out from the general image, therefore, you should not purchase an overly expensive accessory if the clothes do not correspond to the status. Conversely, budget models will stand out on a man in clothes from the best couturiers.
Style. Business people should give preference to classic watches without unnecessary functions and details with a dark leather strap. For everyday use, you can use more durable models with a metal bracelet. Shockproof models with a high level of water protection are suitable for athletes. The product must be equipped with a steel or rubber bracelet and also have a pedometer function.
Clock face. The size of the dial depends on the width of the wrist. On a wide hand, a small watch looks out of place.
Bracelet. A leather strap must have high quality seams. A good metal bracelet should rotate freely, but not fall off your hand.
Originality. Today you can find many Chinese fakes that are cheaper than the original. It is important to be able to distinguish low-quality replicas from real branded products. The certificate of authenticity is a certificate showing the date and place of sale.
The ideal wristwatch is characterized by quality and reliability. And so that buyers do not get confused in a huge variety of models, we have compiled a rating of the best brands.

Buyers note the high quality of products that they immediately want to put on the wrist. However, this brand was not awarded the first places in the ratings, most likely due to its short existence in the market.

Criterias of choice

It is believed that a watch is an extension of the owner's personality, a finishing chord in the image. To make it sound right, you need to buy a decent watch. For this, it is advisable to adhere to a number of criteria:

Mechanism

According to the principle of operation, watches are: quartz, mechanical and electronic. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can compare them by examining the table:

Clock type	pros	Minuses
Quartz	Budget or average price. No need to control the winding. The accuracy is higher than that of mechanical ones. The design is not as heavy as mechanical ones.	Periodic change of batteries. Expensive renovation. In the event of a breakdown, you will have to completely replace the entire mechanism as a whole, since it is one-piece.
Mechanical	No need to replace batteries. Reliable mechanism. Long service life – up to 10 years.	High price. The error of the course is 20-30 seconds per day. The need to follow the winding.
Electronic	Low price. Original design. Good visibility of numbers. A large number of options.	Small durability. Inaccuracy is a common flaw, but it can be easily corrected by resetting.

You need to choose the type of mechanism based on the purpose of the purchase, personal preferences and financial capabilities.

Body material

The case must be moisture resistant and reliable, resistant to external mechanical stress. Several types of material are used for the manufacture of the case:

Plastic. It is mainly used for the production of sports models. Allows you to create a streamlined body, comfortable for training. In addition, the plastic body absorbs shock loads well, which are inevitable during an active lifestyle.

Mechanics are never “dressed” in plastic. The parts of the mechanism are too sensitive to shock and require increased protection.

Stainless steel. The best grade of metal for wristwatches is considered to be steel 316 L. This grade is the hardest of all types of steel. It contains the least harmful impurities, it does not cause allergies.

Carbon. Composite material. It is a weave of carbon fibers connected with epoxy resin. Reinforcing ingredients can be added to the alloy: kevlar threads, rubber. Strength is not inferior to steel. Flexibility allows you to make the most original configurations. Weight is 20-40% lighter than metal, which makes the accessory not heavy, easy to use.

Brass. Inexpensive, durable material. The main disadvantage is the ability to oxidize under the influence of moisture.

Titanium. High strength, lightweight material. When put on the hand, it quickly adopts the temperature of the human body, which makes them comfortable to use.

Alla. Zinc and aluminum alloy. Alla is saturated with a mixture of gases, so it is porous, lightweight and well-tolerated.

Glass material

Glass is made of 3 types of material: plastic, artificial sapphire, mineral glass. When choosing a material for protective glass, you need to take into account its features:

Plastic. Inexpensive, durable, hard to break, but easy to scratch. An option for those who like to collect watch collections and not pay too much money for it.
Sapphire. Expensive material made from artificially grown crystals. Suitable for those who want to use the watch for many years and are ready to pay for this advantage.
Mineral glass. Can be chosen by those looking for the perfect balance of durability and reasonable price.

Functions

Many modern watches are equipped with a set of auxiliary options. The most common ones are: repeater, chronograph, world clock, dynamometer, alarm clock, calendar, notebook, voice recorder, heart rate meter and much more.

Each function makes the final cost of the product more expensive. Therefore, you need to carefully consider whether you need an option or it is better to refuse it so as not to overpay.

Clarity of the dial

Numbers and other markings on the dial should be clearly legible, clear and large. The hands of the movement must be clearly visible even at an angle of 60 °. An additional plus is the luminescent coating on the hands and indexes of the dial. Then the operation of the device will be comfortable at any time of the day.

Parameters for choosing a wristwatch for men

It is not easy to decide on the choice of watches, because now there are so many different types and shapes on sale with their own characteristics that your eyes begin to scatter. It is still easier for a man to make a choice based on his preferences, but a woman who wants to give a gift to a young man will need to carefully study his style and tastes so as not to be mistaken with a present.

Mechanism

A lot depends on which system controls the timing: the non-volatility of the watch, as well as the peculiarities of its style. Today, four types are most common:

Mechanical. Such an accessory can be solidly called a chronometer. The design is based on the centuries-old experience of mankind in the manufacture of high-precision mechanisms. The main element continues to be the watch spring, which requires regular winding. Such hours do not need additional energy sources to work and are completely autonomous. With proper care, they can last for decades. When choosing a quality watch of this type, its owner can theoretically carry it all his life, and even pass it on to the younger generation.

Mechanism of a mechanical wristwatch
Quartz. Electronics replaced moving parts, gears and cogwheels. This mechanism is based on a high-frequency generator with a quartz crystal, which supplies electrical impulses to the stepping motor. It requires very little current to operate, so this watch is powered by a tiny tablet battery that lasts for a couple of years. The absence of the need for a winding is combined in such a watch with a classic hand design. Such watches are usually cheaper than mechanical watches, although high-quality ones have a considerable price.

Differences between quartz and mechanical watch movements
Electronic. The filling of these devices is a set of microcircuits, and information about the time is presented on an electronic display in digital form. Usually such watches have a certain style, opposite to the classic one. Ease of use, coupled with broad functionality, makes them significant competitors to analogue switches.
Smart watch. They have become widespread in recent years, along with fashion and technological growth. They have a full-fledged software shell and in fact are more of a multifunctional device than a watch itself, so they will not be included in the review.

Smart watch functions

Style

The style is understood as the appearance of the watch, kept in the same spirit. Traditionally, it is customary to distinguish between several basic styles, although sometimes copies appear on the market, which, as an experiment, combine the features of several styles.

Classics. Many mechanical watches are made in this style. Distinctive features are a round, less often rectangular shape with smooth contours, on the dial there are numbers or hour markers with numbers 12, 3, 6 and 9. The strap is usually leather or metal, the size is small, and the case is moderately thick. In the classics, emphasized performance of individual elements is not welcomed, for example, large crowns or a relief bezel. Just in moderation – this is the main motto of this style. It is to this category that a subtype of “tailor-made” watches belongs – small thin devices distinguished by exquisite simplicity.

Classic mens watches
Casual. Everyday watch may have a lot in common with the classics, but they are not so strict. The main thing is ease of use. Slightly curved shape, enlarged elements for clarity, and a wide range of straps and mounts. The colors and material of the case are not limited by anything. Most of the casual assortment is made up of quartz hand watches of varying cost and quality.

Men's casual style watches
Sports. This category includes watches, which are alien to severity and refinement. Most of the models have a massive case with protruding pushers or crowns, wide straps or even bracelets that fit comfortably around the wrists, large numbers and inscriptions. The standard among sports watches is their versatility. In addition to the hour dial, there may be stopwatches, date and time windows and other delights, for example, a built-in barometer or pedometer. Sometimes the arrows are duplicated by numbers on the electronic display. Such watches do not fit a classic suit, as they simply will not fit under the cuff of a shirt. Many sports watches are equipped with shockproof mechanisms and water resistance.

Sports watches for men
Original. Instances in which any characteristic is dominant. For example, a skeleton watch has a transparent dial and case back to showcase how the movement works.

On a note! The bezel is the ring around the dial, on which the numbers are applied. Many models rotate.

Body material

Watch cases are most often made of metal. Plastic models can be both cheap and expensive, since the plastic used in them is not inferior in its properties to metal. Usually, electronic models are made with a plastic case – they are light in weight and do not corrode. Of the metals, the most commonly used are:

Stainless steel. It is a durable metal with high performance characteristics. It is used in all styles, especially appreciated in models for extreme use.

Stainless steel watch
Brass. A copper-based alloy that is softer than steel, but also does not oxidize under the influence of the environment and the human body. A watch with a brass case is durable enough to last for decades.

Brass clock
Aluminum. Soft, but lightweight metal. Watches made of it are cheaper, but in modern conditions this material is easy to give a wide variety of shapes and textures.

Aluminum alloy watch
Titanium. A metal with the lightness of aluminum, and superior in strength to steel. It is rarely used and only in the most expensive watches.

Titanium men's watch

Strap material

Today, several variants of materials are known from which wrist straps for watches are made. Each of them is good in its own way, but it also has drawbacks.

Skin. The oldest version. A genuine leather strap looks expensive and stylish, equipped with a buckle. An exclusive type of leather with embossing or an original pattern is put on premium devices, and you can also make such a strap yourself with minimal skills. Wearing leather on your hand is soft and comfortable, but over time, this natural product wears out and wipes out.

Leather watch strap
Metal. A steel or brass bracelet is usually made in the color of the watch case, so that a single ensemble is obtained. Metal bracelets are strong and durable, the clasp usually wears out, and even then after many years. Most often, metal bracelets are composed of links. The design of compression bracelets is interesting – they stretch when put on, and then contract, covering the wearer's hand.

Metal watch strap
Rubber. Distinguish between natural and artificial rubber. Its performance is close to rubber. It is soft as leather, but it does not rub off and wear out as quickly. Artificial is more durable. It does not react with skin, does not fade and fits snugly around the wrist.

Rubber watch strap
Silicone. Polymeric material, softer than rubber, it is easy to give it a wide variety of shades. Durable yet resilient. High wear resistance.
