There are so many different types of watches. A brief visit to a few jewelry or watch shops will alert you that this may not be an easy process. There are many different brands of watches just as there are different levels of quality and styles. Even pocket watches are still made with craftsmanship and style. It's a matter of what style is the most suitable for you. Your style as well as your lifestyle have to guide you in the selection of a watch.
Of course the styles that are on display will be the first, and maybe primary, focus in your choice. The other concerns should include the place this timepiece will be used (at work or at the opera) as well as the size of the piece and how it looks on your person. It has to be in proportion to you and flatter your clothing.
Sometimes watches are really silly... a 3 carat diamond wristwatch with a face so small it requires a 10x glass to tell the time, but we don't need a diver's watch to wear with a tuxedo either. Many people have at least 2 timepieces, one for everyday work and town shopping; another to wear to a dressier occasion.
Most people think only of the jewelry store or the mass marketing stores as places to buy a timepiece. But don't restrict yourself, especially if you are looking for the 'special' watch. Go to antique and thrift shops, visit auction houses and pawn shops. Most people have two 'good' watches that cost over one hundred dollars. Try to find a watch you will love forever. It's really more than just something to tell the time!
Some watches have bands that are designed like bracelets and the band that comes with the watch was designed for it. Many watches have disposable bands so you can see the watch on your arm with no distraction, then select a band that fits the watch, pleases your sense of design and fits you as far as size, weight, width and even the type of closure used. Most bands can be adjusted to fit your wrist.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the decision to go with the traditional analog face display or the modern digital display. The style of the display is going to be appropriate for the size and style of the watch face and blend in with the band.
With all these choices to be made from hundreds in each category, how is it that some, well meaning people think they can buy a watch for someone else?
