How to choose the perfect watch?
The watch is undoubtedly the essential piece to complete any outdoor look and it is crucial to have options when needed!
If you're looking for a fashionable watch, it's important to keep in mind a few things like functionality, versatility, comfort, and most importantly, the quality of the watch—what material is it made of? What type of movement? The water resistance level, and is the glass made of sapphire crystal, hard mineral glass, or a cheaper material that can scratch easily?
There are so many options these days and it seems like every other day the big players are releasing the new "latest and greatest" and if you're a watch fanatic the collection just keeps growing.
If you're new to the world of watches and don't know where to start, or are simply looking for some advice, we have new ways to take the next step without breaking the bank. For example, you can buy one of our hip hop watches at reasonable prices!
Let's go! Here are some tips that can help you choose the right timepiece:
If you're hoping to find the watch that best fits your unique style, dig deep and be open to new brands, designs, colors, material types, features, etc. because you never know what you might stumble upon.
Social media like Instagram is a great way to discover the latest and greatest ideas, and to see how people are styling their accessories.
When it comes time to buy your next watch, it's important to think about what you really want from the piece and how you'll wear it.
Will it be worn every day or will it be used for weekends or special events? Do you like to have a bit of technology in your watch to possibly connect to your phone or perform other functions, or do you like it to tell the time and be more of a fashion statement so the tech side isn't a priority? Remember, sometimes simplicity is key!
Need a versatile item that can go with multiple outfits?
Need a durable watch that can take a little abuse?
There are several questions you need to ask yourself and although the primary purpose of a watch is to display the time, you should always have your own ideas about what you want and need.
Another thing to consider when buying a new men's watch is what it's made of. What's the movement? Is it a quality piece for the price?
Most quality metal watches are made of stainless steel, but be careful, as some watches are labeled "stainless steel" when the band is stainless steel and the case and bezel are made of a cheap alloy, or the band is a cheap alloy that can deteriorate quickly and, if coated with any kind of plating, will tarnish even faster.
You can usually feel and see the difference between a cheap alloy part and a stainless steel part, but the obvious sign is the price! You get what you pay for!
Other popular materials include leather or some form of resin. Both of these options are great for enhancing the look you're going for, but remember to make sure you have at least one strip of genuine leather over a fake piece if you want it to last. Sometimes investing in a higher-quality piece can pay off.
At Emir ICE, we only invest in premium materials and partner with proven global brands like Rolex, Audemar Piguet, Patek Phillipe, etc. to ensure our customers get the best at an affordable price.
Second, what movement are you looking for, or do you really not care? Do you want an automatic movement or a quartz movement? Automatics don't run on batteries like traditional quartz and simply charge with the movement. However, if you're not going to wear your watch for a few days, it may need to be shaken or wound and the time reset.
Automatic watches do not require a battery, but with the large number of moving parts, you will need to maintain it to ensure its longevity and to keep the correct time.
Quartz is battery powered and will eventually need to be replaced. However, quartz is an extremely accurate timekeeping movement and is the most commonly used.
Replacing the battery is quite simple, and you can either do it yourself or take it to a watch specialist. The cost shouldn't be too high (maximum 10 to 25 euros).
When it comes to features, you can choose between day and date display, analog and digital options, alarm function, dive and pilot functions, field and tool functions, Bluetooth, touchscreen and the list goes on... again, it all comes down to what you want from your watch.
In case you think style is all about new "trends," then you probably haven't seen the Casio Vintage watch yet. When shopping for a new watch, don't forget to consider classic pieces, especially for everyday wear. Vintage watches are making a comeback, and they're definitely an easy choice to complete a look. You can dress them up or down, and they're not only very versatile but also very affordable.
Just like your clothes, your watch should also be the right size. If the links are adjustable and you have a larger wrist, simply ask the retailer if they have extra links.
Generally, adjustable link bracelets are much larger and require adjustment to remove some links, but these are based on average sized wrists.
If you are purchasing a non-adjustable bracelet, be sure to check the bracelet size before purchasing to ensure you get the correct fit.
You can also buy a new strap and switch suppliers; there are options on the market for this particular watch model.
There are sizes categorized into very thin, thin, medium, and thick wrists so you can choose your watch accordingly.
Don't worry! Having a budget doesn't mean you can't go over budget. It just gives you a clearer picture and saves a lot of time. Besides, you don't want to make a decision haphazardly, so it's best to have a budget in advance.
You may feel like setting a budget limits you, but in reality, it allows you to shop more freely. Once you've decided on a budget and chosen a watch—say, an Emir Watch from our collection—you can easily make your decision.
