“I have a weakness for
watches. I have to stop myself buying more. – Tom Jones”
A watch is the single most important accessory a man can own.
A man's watch selection is often an extension of his own character. In this
guide, I'll be showing you how to identify your own personal style when it
comes to watches in addition to showcasing some popular watch choices in
separate categories (Sports, Fashion, Business, Casual).
Quick Note: I'd like to mention that this article is by no
means an authoritative guide as opinions can vary greatly in terms of fashion
and taste. These are my own opinions. Let's begin:
WHAT WATCH IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Before we even look at the types of watches, it's important
to grasp the concept that not every watch
is compatible with every style. I do suggest having different watches for both work and play if your lifestyle calls
for it or you simply like having variety.
Sports Watches
A sports watch is essentially a rugged timepiece that’s
suitable for a variety of sports and physical activities. Sports watches are
built to withstand shock, so they tend to be comprised of solid, attractive
metals, such as stainless steel, and scratch- and break-resistant crystal
glass.
SKMEI Military Watch - SKMEI watches have been gaining considerable popularity
recently and is the bestselling sports watch on Lazada. They're priced a bit lower
than popular brands, but offer a much nicer (in my opinion) aesthetic. They're
becoming increasingly common among high school and college students.
Other than that, SKMEI’s line of watches is great for seeing
if you like the style of a sports watch without fully investing into a more expensive
brand.
Casio Illuminator- This watch is designed to be a casual, everyday watch for
active men who want a reliable, multi-functional timepiece. The Casio
Illuminator Watch is a smart choice for active men.
Casio Gshock - I've been seeing a lot of G-shocks watches around recently,
so it is great to include this on the list. It's made from a rubber with black
strap color. Like similar sports watches in its category, it comes in a ton of
different colors and sizes.
Though sport watches are generally more easygoing in terms
of style, designers such as Prada, Alexander McQueen and Salvatore Ferragamo
have made their own luxurious takes on the classic bag.
Casual Business Watches

Even the best-dressed men can get tripped up when it comes
to buying the right casual watch. Men's watches are complex, can be expensive
and there are a lot of brands and types of them out there. So just what should
you know when shopping for a casual watch? Well, you can start by looking at
your wardrobe and your budget.
Here are some of our favorite business casual watches that
won’t break the bank.
