Wrist watches for men are a popular jewelry accessory. Watches come in all sorts of styles and a wide variety of prices. Choose the proper wristwatch to say to the world that your time is an important commodity.

In choosing a wristwatch, you will need to know if you prefer an analog watch or a digital. An additional choice is the combination analog/digital watch.

Digital watches are very precise. They do not need to be adjusted. They are very precise down to the second. In addition, by pressing the right combination of buttons, you can view the time in military or traditional settings. Press a few more buttons and you have a stopwatch.

While digital watches are fine for most settings, nothing sets apart a professional than a quality analog watch. Analog watch quality is measured by jewels.

Most dress watches are analog watches. They generally have a leather band and are very thin. Dress watches are designed to fit under the sleeve of a jacket. They should not have a bezel that turns or has markings as this could keep the watch from slipping under the sleeve.

Casual watches are made for everyday wear. A metal band is a better choice for this watch, since it will be worn in many kinds of environments. The metal is more resistant to perspiration than leather.

Sport watches are more rugged than dress or casual watches. They are generally larger in size. Most are shock resistant and waterproof. These watches often have a bezel that rotates.

If you have decided to buy a high quality watch, then you should visit a jeweler. These expensive watches should not be bought sight unseen. In addition, many watch manufacturers forbid the sale of their product on the internet. They are so determined to stop the practice that many void the warranty of any watch sold through the internet. You should also remember that there are many fakes available. The fake watch may be beautiful to look at, but have the inside workings of a twenty dollar watch. You do not want to spend thousands of dollars to get a replica watch.

So if you are buying a watch and want inexpensive accuracy, buy a quartz digital watch. They are not only cheap, but accurate. If you have any difficulty, just throw it away and buy another. If you are buying at the other end of the spectra, choose your watches for men from a reputable dealer.
