How to Choose the Right Watch For Any Occasion There are many types of watches on the market, and you can find one to fit any budget or fashion preference. When shopping for a watch, the important thing is to get something that fits your own needs, so don't be tempted to buy something just because it's popular or because a sales person says it looks great on you. As you try to find your next watch, what we discuss next are some primary elements to keep in mind. A used or vintage watch is also something you could buy. Going this route has both disadvantages and advantages. Saving a hefty amount of currency and obtaining a style from years ago is one good thing. The danger, of course, is that you probably won't be getting a warranty so you have no guarantee that the watch will still be working a month from now. You can find lots of vintage watches on auction sites like Ebay, as well as live auctions that may in your area. Pilfering through thrift shops, flea markets and antique stores can also be an idea. Sometime you can find a nice used watch at such a good price that there's little risk involved. Before choosing a watch, first you will want to decide on a band type. This will make a big difference not only in the price, but in the style of watch you end up with. If it is an opulent timepiece you are after, look at materials such as gold, platinum or silver that is pure sterling. But if you desire a cheaper metal that will still hold up, aluminum or stainless steel would be a good choice. Leather is another well known selection, and it can give you all sorts of different looks since it can be dyed any color. Currently the choices abound like carbon fiber which is a expensive, but very sturdy material and titanium, a very durable material normally seen in sports watches. If you want the ultimate "retro" type watch, you may want to consider a pocket watch. These are likely to be true antiques, though it's also likely that some modern manufacturers are making replicas of them. In fact, these types of watches are so retro they go back half a millennium in history. Having a watch this big can be very awkward, especially if you are trying to put it in your pocket or carry it in your briefcase which would make it useless in regard to telling time. To stay focused, and to eliminate any possibility of becoming addicted to looking at that time on your watch, choose a pocket watch to end all of your time oriented distractions. Altogether, you'll find the watch you want by looking at the several factors including band, features and the amount of money you are willing to spend. You can use the tips we've covered in this article to help you narrow down your search and getting the best value for your money.
