A watch is a portable accessory worn on the wrist to tell the time. Aside from serving this basic function, many men wear watches to add up to their style and also make them feel confident. However, wearing a watch is a matter of personal preference.
Here are a few general guidelines for men to follow to ensure that your watch looks and feels great.
1. Choose The Correct Hand
Wearing a watch on the left wrist is generally considered more traditional and formal. However, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what feels most comfortable for the individual.
Some people may prefer to wear their watch on their least dominant hand or the opposite to the dominant hand.
That is, wear a watch on the right wrist if they are left-handed or if they perform tasks with their right hand that would make it inconvenient to wear a watch on their left wrist.
2. Consider The Occasion
The occasion is an important point in selecting a watch to wear. The watch should be a suitable match for the occasion. A formal event may call for a more classic and understated watch. Meanwhile, a sporty or trendy watch will be the best fitting for a casual outing.
3. The Watch Must Fit Properly
A watch that is too large or too small can look disproportionate and can be uncomfortable to wear. Consider the size of the watch to the size of your wrist. Oversized or tight watches may also hurt the wrist. Find the right balance and choose a style that fits well.
4. Go For The Right Watch Band Material
Depending on the occasion, outfit, or comfortability, different watch materials including metal, leather, or rubber, can have different levels of comfort and durability. Anticipate what type of watch will work best for the desired event and personal style.
5. Mix And Match
A watch can be a great opportunity to add a pop of colour or personal style to your outfit. Do not be afraid to mix and match, experiment with different combinations to find a look that works for you. When necessary, the color of your watch should match your shoes.
6. Keep The Watch Clean And Well-maintained
A dirty or broken watch can be distracting and can ruin the overall look of an outfit. Maintain your watch to keep it in top condition by making sure it is regularly cleaned and serviced.
In addition, storing watches in their original watch boxes after wearing them can provide extra protection.
7. Think About The Function Of The Watch
Do you need a watch with multiple time zones, a stopwatch, or other specialized features? Depending on whether you are a pilot, an athlete, a businessman, or woman, the preferable choice of watches may vary.
Consider what features you need and choose a watch that meets your needs.
To conclude, it is very important to note that a wristwatch is not only a functional accessory to tell the time but also a way to express your style.
The good news is, there is a watch out there for everybody, whether you prefer a classic and understated look or a bold and more trendy appearance.
