Fewer things have more technology packed inside than a modern watch. Watch wearers get to decide whether they want a simple (and elegant) time-keeping piece or something with the power of a laptop computer on their wrist. The good news is you can also personalize a watch like never before. Here are three things to think about when looking for a new watch.
t’s easy to get excited about all the different watch designs and forget you have to wear it on your wrist. With an ever-increasing list of available watch features, be careful you don’t buy a watch that’s too large or too bulky. There’s nothing wrong with a big, chunky chronograph or dive watch, which can be handsome timepieces. But with more features comes more weight. Scrutinize how much weight you want on your arm before buying.
A wind-up watch is a retro design that can be a sleek, cool addition to your collection. Most run on replaceable batteries, although there is a growing number of solar-powered watches on the market.
Modern watches can do far more than tell the time. But don’t get a watch with features you won’t use. A rotating elapsed time bezel can add bulk and weight, and you might not need it if you’re not diving.
