Men's, sports, luxury or wind-up watches - how to choose the right one?

Type of movement, special functions or material of the bracelet. Here are 6 tips, similar to Ladies watches, on what to look for when choosing the right men's watch for you.

1. Clockwise or digital?

To start with, you should clarify whether you prefer hands or are more comfortable with digital numerals. Hands watches offer a more traditional look, while digital watches usually have the advantage of a wider range of functions and greater durability. In our offer you will find not only classic men's watches, but also digital watches. Combination watches that have classic hands combined with digital numbers or convenient practical smart watches with clearly the widest range of additional functions are also an option.

2. What features will you find useful?

Do you play sports often? Do you use navigation? Want to monitor your stress levels or blood pressure? When choosing the right men's watch for yourself or a loved one, also focus on features.  Some products offer:

●   24-hour dial,

●   backlight,

●   GPS,

●   depth gauge,

●   thermometer,

●   stopwatch,

●   alarm option,

●   phone search,

●   contactless payment with your watch,

●   touchscreen,

●   music playback.

Individual products can also be your assistant for specific activities - they can measure your sports activity, stress levels, blood pressure or heart activity, be your golf coach or even your navigation assistant. Some men's watches, especially smart ones, can also be connected to wifi or connected via Bluetooth to other devices.

3. Don't forget durability and waterproofing

Note also the degree of resistance to various external influences such as low temperatures, shocks, magnetic fields or dirt and dust. Is it your priority to make your watch men's and above all waterproof? Different watches also have varying degrees of water resistance - while some will be ruined when submerged in water, others are suitable for wearing in rainy weather as well as diving or swimming.

4. Focus on the type of machine

Remember how your grandfather wound his watch to make it work? We also offer these, as mechanical movements with manual or automatic winding are gradually coming back into fashion. They do not need any battery and the movement of their hands is smooth.

Nowadays, however, the most common are the so-called quartz watch movements, in which the hands are moved by an electric motor and operate on a standard replaceable battery. In the case of a normal battery, the minimum lifetime is 2-3 years, but with higher quality flashlights it can be up to 6 years. In a solar watch, the battery is recharged by light - it lasts up to 10 years. They are more durable and less maintenance intensive, but generally less accurate and their second hand jumps.

In terms of power, you can choose not only a watch with a replaceable battery, but also a rechargeable battery (wirelessly or with a USB cable). However, special options also include watches with solar charging.

5. Note the material - case, strap and slide

Don't forget to consider the material of the case, strap and slide when making your choice. You can choose the case material from more than 15 options - it can be made not only from steel, titanium or aluminium, but also from wood, ceramics and various bio eco materials such as recycled plastic from the oceans.

When choosing, you should pay particular attention to the abrasion resistance and durability of the material. The case can also vary in size, if you are envisioning a smaller watch, feel free to search for products by case size in millimeters.

The watch strap can be traditional leather, steel or plastic, but you can also find synthetic, textile or wooden straps. And the slides? Most watches have a mineral or sapphire crystal, but you can also try acrylic, hesalite or gorilla glass. Here again, you should think about making sure that the glass is made of the most durable material and will last you a long time without breaking.

6. Choose the right shape for you

The shape can also make a difference - some people prefer a round dial, others have been wearing oval or square watches for several years. Note also the type of numerals, they can be Arabic, Roman, index, none, inlaid with diamonds or crystals.

Do you have a clear idea or are you still hesitating? We offer more than 4.5 thousand watches of all possible specifications. Somewhere among them, there are sure to be some that you'll love.
