We must ask ourselves when it comes to buying a new knockout, especially if it is expensive. Here are a few things to look out for before you checkout.
The Use Of The Watch And Its Style
Is it for going to the office, leisure and sports activities, or a bit of everything? This is an important question when trying to find out what type or style of watches we are interested in. You can look at classic watches, vintage and complications, sports watches, diving, and clocks.
Warning! When you buy a timepiece, some are made for men, others for women or children.
The Brand
Choosing a watch according to its brand is very common, quite simply because each house will convey a different image, but also because it will be specialized in a particular type of timepiece. For example, Hamilton may be a good choice for those who want designer watches that are not too expensive; those who want aviator watches can turn to Breitling, IWC, or Zenith.
Movement
Do you prefer a mechanical or quartz movement? The first is nobler, more expensive, and yet less precise; the second is very precise and often multifunction.
Functions
Do you need certain functions? If so, it is better to turn to quartz watches, some models of which can even be connected, have a GPS chip, give the altitude or the temperature; for mechanical watches, some also offer multiple functions called complications, but they are costly.
Design
Often, the design of this object will make whether we will buy it or not. However, one should look at this simply because a watch can be attractive without being well finished, reliable, or performing.
In the important points to see at the design level, there are:
- the watch case: its shape (round, oval, square, or rectangle), size, and material (steel, gold, titanium, ceramics, and platinum)
- the strap and its buckle: steel, leather, NATO, or rubber
- the presence of glass on the back of the watch
- analog or digital display
- color and design of the dial, as well as the shape of the hands or counters.
The Nationality
Of course, when we think of watches like Rolex watches for men (นาฬิกา Rolex ผู้ชาย which is the term in Thai), we naturally think of Switzerland. However, it is not the only producer country, far from it. If you want a watch (rather mechanical), Switzerland, Germany, France or Japan can meet your needs. You can look to Japan and China with brands like Casio, Citizen, or Seiko for a gadget and technological watch. Finally, China will be preferred for entry-level watches, but we must not forget the Swiss Swatch or Japanese Seiko.
