Commit TV Yagi Column ~What kind of watch should a businessman choose?~

Hello everyone!

The most typical scene in daily life where we wear watches is the business scene . I think there is no particular disagreement. Recently, with the spread of teleworking, some people may have fewer opportunities to wear watches, but it is not smart to check the time on your smartphone during important business negotiations or meetings. In that sense, watches are very important for businessmen.

So what kind of watch should you wear?

This time, we would like to provide you with some useful information titled "What kind of watch should a businessman choose?" Please enjoy until the end.

Two important factors for businessmen when choosing a watch

First of all, what business people care about the most

"What will the people around me think?"

I think this is an inseparable concern for business people. However, if you have a solid understanding of two elements, this concern can be largely resolved.

These are the [case (bracelet) material] and [dial color] .

These two elements are important to keep in mind when choosing a watch, so I will explain them in a little more detail.

[Case (bracelet) material]

The first element, the case (bracelet) material, takes up the majority of the watch and greatly influences its appearance. Here we will introduce two recommended materials.

SS (Stainless Steel)

First, there is the classic SS (stainless steel) material.

The idea of ​​"watch = silver" has remained unchanged for a long time, and it can be said that "the eye is accustomed to it = it doesn't stand out." The most representative example of this is SS (stainless steel).

Coupled with the relatively affordable price range, they are popular among a wide range of businessmen. In addition, there are many types released by each brand, so you have a wide range of options and can use them without worrying about them being rough, which is another big attraction.

WG (white gold) / PT (platinum)

Next, we would like to introduce WG (white gold) and PT (platinum), which exude elegance.

It exudes a subtle sense of luxury and exudes an aura of dignity. Compared to stainless steel (SS), the price range is much higher, but the weight and elegant aura are sure to make you want to own one someday.

In particular, there are many cases that are used in the dress line of luxury watches, and there are many models that go well with suits. Many people choose them when they reach a certain level of status.

The image of a silver watch has remained unchanged for a long time. Our eyes are accustomed to it, so it doesn't stand out.
 Following this rule, you should choose a silver watch.
 
▶SS (Stainless Steel)

 ▶WG (White Gold)

 ▶ PT (Platinum)

 It is best to choose from the following.

[Dial color]

The second element is the dial color, which is the face of a luxury watch and it is no exaggeration to say that it determines its appearance.

There are many different types of watches, from simple three-hand models to models that display complex functions on the dial, but what most determines the visual impression is the color of the dial.

Among them, the color that seems to be suitable for businessmen is

" Black ," " Gray ," " Silver ," " White ," and " Blue ."

These colors are easy to match with any occasion and are easy to wear, so they are loved by everyone. They do not stand out and give a calm impression, so you can wear them for a long time without getting bored.
