How to choose the perfect watch for your style and needs

1. Determine the type of watch you want

There are five basic types of watches that you should know before you start choosing:

Mechanical watches - are powered by a spring that must be wound regularly.

Automatic watches - use the movement of your wrist to wind the spring, eliminating the need for manual winding.

Quartz watches - they are powered by a battery and are very precise in measuring time.

Solar watches - use light energy to charge the battery, like the Citizen Eco-Drive model.

Smart watches - digital watches with additional functions such as fitness tracking, smartphone notifications and other applications.

2. Consider style and design

Watches come in different styles and designs to suit different situations and personal preferences. Some of the most popular styles include:

Sports watches - designed for outdoor activities, with durable materials and functions such as chronograph and water resistance. Examples of such watches are Casio G-Shock and Nautica watches.

Elegant watches - perfect for formal occasions, usually with a metal or leather strap and a classic design. Swiss Military Hanowa offers a wide selection of elegant watches.

Fashion watches - focus on aesthetics and trends, often with attractive colors and interesting designs. Tommy Hilfiger and Lee Cooper watches are popular choices in this category.

Vintage watches - classic watches with a retro look that evoke past times. The Casio Vintage collection offers a wide selection of such models.

3. Select the case and strap material

The material of the case and strap affects the appearance, weight and durability of the watch. The most common case materials are stainless steel, titanium, ceramic and plastic. For straps, you can choose between leather, stainless steel, silicone and textile.

4. Pay attention to size and comfort

The size of the watch should be proportional to the size of your wrist. A watch that is too big can look tacky, while a watch that is too small can look inconspicuous. Also, make sure the strap is comfortable and can easily be adjusted to the size of your wrist.

5. Consider functions and water resistance

Depending on your needs, you may want a watch with additional functions such as a date, chronograph, alarm or light indicator. Also, consider water resistance if you plan to wear the watch while swimming or diving.

6. Think about price and value

The price of the watch can vary from affordable to very expensive models. It is important to choose a watch that fits your budget but also provides value for money. Quality watches, such as Citizen and Swiss Military Hanowa , can be a worthwhile investment due to their durability and precision.
