WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A WATCH?

When buying a watch, one is confronted by a lack of knowledge of what would be the right one. Owning a watch today has very little to do with time-telling. People are able to check time from many other gadgets.

Having a good timepiece is all about fashion. Then how would one tell the right one? What determines the size and shape of the watch? All this is determined by the individual. Different watch sizes reflection differently with different attires. A size 41’’watch is ideal on official occasions and meetings. This type of watch resonates well with men.  A size 39’’ is good for evening outings.  A size 25’’ with a good silver or golden chain strap is good for a lady attending a party. Sports watches look good with sports gear.

There is a different type of watches running on different power mechanisms. The most common are;
