Top 8 Tips to Choose a Perfect Men's Watch

When it comes to choosing the perfect men watch - for you or someone you love - it can be difficult to narrow down the choices from all the available styles on the market. Here are some tips for you when you are ready to buy a men's watch.

1. Decide on what style you want. Will you wear it at work, hunting, or out on the town? A big bulky watch designed for hunters probably isn't the best watch to wear while wearing a tuxedo.

2. Decide on the movement. The movement is basically the inner workings, there are three types: quartz, mechanical and digital. A quartz watch uses a tiny vibrating crystal inside, these are very accurate. Mechanical watches rely on springs and gears; these are quite expensive and not as accurate. The digital watch is battery powered, cheaper although considered a more casual style of watch.

3. Make sure you get the proper size face. A regular size face on a large man could end up looking like a ladies watch. Look for quality construction including polished bezel and case. An additional great feature is illumination, check if the watch you are interested in has this feature.

4. Take a look at the crystal, the clear covering over the face. There are three possible materials it can be made from.

Plexiglass: this is the cheapest, and it scratches quite easily but is difficult to shatter.
Mineral crystal: this is more expensive, and it is more likely to shatter but less likely to get scratched.
Synthetic sapphire: this is the most expensive, and it's almost scratch proof but is easy to shatter.

5. Waterproof, water resistant? Water resistant is NOT water proof, it just means the watch is ok if it gets splashed. When it comes to waterproof, men's watches are rated by depth.

6. Watchband. It can be leather, metal, cloth or even plastic. This is a personal choice. Generally speaking, a stainless steel band is superior to a faux leather one.

7. Check out eBay, Amazon and other stores that offer men’s watches. Don't just go to one store - they could be selling at rip off prices, and you won't know until you look around.

8. Compare the prices of different suppliers' offer, and then get the watch with multi-functions but the lowest price.

Buying a perfect man watch may be a tough thing, but follow the above 8 tips will make your shopping experience much easier.
