You would hardly see a classy man without a wristwatch. Wristwatches mean different things to different people, but to a classy man, a wristwatch is more than a timepiece and it’s even more than a fashion statement.
Wristwatch to men is a bigger deal; so when you want to get your man a wristwatch as a gift, you should take it as a big deal.
These are some important tips to consider when buying a wristwatch for your man.
1. STAINLESS STEEL OR LEATHER BAND
While some men favour both, some men are either fans of stainless steel watches or leather watches. Know the kind of watch your man favours or else you might end up getting him a wrong kind of wristwatch.
2. BRAND
One of the things men take pride in the watches they wear is the brand. While brand wristwatches come with a high cost, a man’s prestige and image is shown in a branded wristwatch.
3. ANALOGUE OR DIGITAL?
Some men prefer analogue wristwatches while many others favour digital watches. The analogue watch shows the time in the hour hand and minute hand — it’s either in number format or Roman numerals. However, the digital wristwatch is displayed numerically and wears a casual or sporty look.
4. COLOUR
The colour of the watch is another important factor to consider when buying your man a wristwatch. Leather wristwatches come mostly in black and brown, while metallic watches come in silver or gold. Go for the colour that fits your man’s wardrobe or the colour he favours most, or best still, the colour that he doesn’t have but would suit his wardrobe.
5. THE SIZE OF THE FACE
This is another important tip to consider when buying your man a wristwatch. Men with bigger build look feminine in wristwatches with smaller faces — so if your man is big, you have to go for wristwatches with big face. Average men and smaller men would look good in standard size watches; however, some average built men see bigger wristwatches as fashionable.
These five tips are very important if you want to get your man a wristwatch as gift.
