We will also tell you how to choose the perfect watch for a businessman!


How to choose a luxury business watch that won't disappoint you?

When it comes to luxury watches, there are many models from various brands!

Aside from its primary purpose of telling time, watches also play an important role as fashion items and status symbols.

What kind of watch do you wear? There is no doubt that your impression and self-image will change dramatically. In this article, we will introduce how to choose a luxury watch for business use!

Choose by functionality (construction)

Wristwatches have a variety of functions and designs, but here we will introduce some of the important ones.

Choose by watch type

First, pay attention to the type of watch.

For watches,

  • Quartz Watches
  • Mechanical Watches

There are two types of watches: quartz watches, which run on batteries, and mechanical watches, which don't require batteries. Quartz watches use an element called a quartz oscillator, and they keep time with high precision, but they do require battery replacement. On the other hand, mechanical watches keep time when the mainspring is wound, and there are two types: "hand-wound" and "automatic winding." They require winding the mainspring and regular maintenance. However, mechanical watches have the appeal of not needing batteries, and they tend to last longer, so you can keep using them for a long time.

First, you need to decide whether a quartz or mechanical watch is right for you!

Choose a durable and waterproof watch

Since this is a business watch, it may be exposed to shocks and water as it is used on a daily basis. You cannot afford for your watch to break due to such damage. Therefore, choose a watch that is as durable as possible and has excellent waterproof functions!

Pay attention to other features

There are also watches that have a variety of other functions.

Specifically, it is important to check whether the device has the following features:

  • Calendar function
  • Stopwatch function
  • Solar function

It is a good idea to choose a watch that has the features that best suit your lifestyle.

Choosing the right watch for business situations

When it comes to watches, not only functionality but also appearance is important. It is especially important to choose one that is suitable for business situations.

Analog watches are suitable for business wear. There are also some other points to consider when choosing a watch in terms of appearance, so we will introduce those as well.

Choose a watch that fits your wrist size

The size of your wrist varies from person to person. It is important to choose a watch that fits your wrist size. If you have a particularly thin wrist, a watch with a smaller dial is the best choice!

Pay attention to the watch strap when choosing

Watch straps are available in materials such as stainless steel, leather, rubber, nylon, etc. In general, for formal business attire, it is best to choose a watch with a leather strap.

However, leather straps are delicate and tend to be weak against water. For watches that you wear every day, we recommend stainless steel straps!

Choose a light and sporty watch

We also recommend choosing a light, sporty watch. Many of them look good and tend to be durable and water-resistant. Also, since watches used for business purposes are worn for long periods of time, a lighter watch will cause less stress.

Formal watches are often heavy, so rather than choosing something that is too formal, it may be better to choose a watch that is a little sporty.

Choose with an eye on design

Choose a watch that is not too flashy and has a design that is appropriate for a businessman. The impression people have of you can change depending on the watch you wear. You may want to base your decision on whether or not the watch goes well with your suit.

Let's choose a luxury watch that gives as elegant and mature an impression as possible. As well as the strap, pay attention to the color and design of the case and dial when selecting!

So far, we have introduced how to choose a watch for businessmen. Now, it is time to introduce specific brands and models!
