Understanding Watch Types
Before diving into specific occasions, it’s important to understand the different types of watches:
Dress Watches: Dress watches are often characterized by minimalist designs, slim profiles, and elegant aesthetics, making them perfect for formal occasions.
Sports Watches: These watches focus on durability and functionality, often with water resistance and added complications like chronographs.
Casual Watches: These versatile watches blend style and comfort, making them suitable for everyday wear and informal gatherings.
Diving Watches: Designed for underwater exploration, these watches are rugged, water-resistant, and feature luminous hands and markers for visibility in low light.
About the selection of daily watches
What is a daily watch? It means a watch that can be used every day. What does it mean to be used every day? It means that you can use it when you are extremely handsome, when you are sloppy, when you are at work, and when you are throwing a tantrum after get off work.Stainless steel is a relatively neutral material. In addition, the best leather is also a relatively daily material. It is suitable for both men and women, and will never go out of fashion. Leather will not look old after long use.
The selection of watches for formal occasions
1. It is best to choose a metal watch for formal occasions, and don’t use too many blingbling blinding things.
2. For formal occasions, the diameter of the dial of the watch cannot exceed 41mm (an unwritten rule in the gentleman circle).
3. Your watch in formal occasions should echo your other accessories. For example, if you wear a big gold watch, don’t wear a big jade ring. If you wear a white gold watch, don’t wear a 99999 gold necklace.
4. Tips: In addition to business, formal occasions also include weddings, church baptisms, funerals, etc.
Sports watch selection
The so-called sports watch is not completely limited to sports. Generally speaking, sports watches refer to watches with additional functions, such as diving watches, racing watches, flight watches, various watches used by the military, etc.
Generally, when using sports watches, you should consider practical needs, such as whether there is a need for timing, the need to measure depth, and the need for a compass to identify directions. If you don’t have these needs, why wear a sports watch!
Some people may confuse sports watches with casual watches, such as wearing a sports watch when wearing a sports jacket or sweatshirt, or even wearing a sports watch when wearing a suit, which is actually a very stupid behavior.
The selection of watch for cocktail party
A watch with a black thin leather strap or a dark brown thin leather strap is very decent. Of course, it must be coordinated with your jewelry and shoes. If it is not red or purple, your taste will be questioned.
If you wear a sexy backless or high-slit or ultra-low-cut dress, you must choose a watch with a thin strap. However! Of course, if your career line is majestic enough, all incoordination and mismatch can be ignored.
Watch etiquette: Dos and Don'ts
● For comfort, wear your watch on the wrist opposite your dominant hand.
● Keep it snug but comfortable - your watch shouldn't slide around.
● Pair your watch with your overall outfit (a formal watch with a suit, a casual watch with jeans).
● Clean and maintain your watch regularly to ensure it stays in top condition.
Dos and Don'ts
● A watch that's too large can weigh your wrist down; keep it in proper proportion.
● Avoid pairing a sports watch with formal wear.
● Never wear multiple watches or timepieces.
● Don't overlook the placement of your watch - too high or too low can look unrefined.
Quartz watch and mechanical watch selection
Quartz is an oxide. If you put it in an oscillating circuit, it will jump and jump excitedly. Quartz watches are powered by batteries, and then the jumping quartz provides stable fluctuations.
Mechanical watches are powered by the movement spring, which may be powered by your hand winding it up or your hand moving around all day to provide kinetic energy.
Quartz watches are accurate and light, but the battery must be replaced regularly. Quartz will get tired after jumping for a long time, and may not jump if you are in a bad mood one day.
The time error of mechanical watches is larger than that of quartz watches, but the movement is durable. If it is unhappy, you can lubricate it and rub it and it will play happily again. Quartz watches are more like fast-moving consumer goods, and mechanical watches are more like collectibles. Therefore, men who often need to change their style prefer quartz watches. Generally, men with more status and more mature are more suitable for mechanical watches!
