Durable Vs Style- Is It Possible To Have Both?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

durabilityThere is a large multitude of stylish, durable watches on the market. As technology has advanced, watch makers have put their knowledge to good use. Watches of today are better put together at lower costs.

Watch For Every Occasion

If you want to have a watch for every occasion, you can do that too, but you don’t need to. Many every day watches can go out on the boat with you for the day and with a wipe down, be just as at home on your arm while you dance the night away with your significant other. This is all within reason.

Elegant Watches

A super snazzy looking gold watch in a slim case with diamonds in the number positions may be quite durable but it would look very out of place on your wrist while you’re out working in the yard.

Diving Watches

On the other hand, A diving watches are very well made and withstand more than most watches can, however it would also look out of place should you dress up in a tux and show up at a formal dinner wearing it.

The key to having a watch that can serve both purposes is moderation. Durability is getting easier and easier to find, where moderation comes in is that if you want a watch that can serve dual purposes, you will need to not go towards either extreme. A plain, simple looking watch can look elegant and be purposeful at the same time without looking over or understated for the situation.

Choosing The Perfect Watchband For Your Lifestyle

lifestyle watchThe watch band you choose for your watch will not only say a lot about you, it will also say a good bit about your lifestyle. The watch it will be attached to will also figure prominently in the decision. You don’t want to have a sleek, elegant wrist watch with a bulky or loud wristband. The band and the watch should be complementary and of the same nature.

Chronograph Watch

If you have a big chronograph watch, bands that are made out of such things alligator or any of the large scale reptiles or even ostrich would look fine with this sort of watch.

Thin Watches

A thin line type watch would need to have a much more subtle band such as a fine scaled black snakeskin band or even just a regular thin leather band with no figuring of any kind on it. Let the watch itself be the spokesman and the band just be the support.

Sports Watches

If you have a diving watch and you actually do dive or involve yourself in any water sports that would get your watch wet, you may want to consider waterproof bands such as rubber. A fine rubber watchband is going to be impervious to the intrusion of water and will not have any ill affects should it be exposed for extended periods of time.

Consider what you will be doing while wearing the watch and pick a band that will lend itself to that function.
