Wearing A watch: The Basics!

Before I ever bought this beautiful turquoise blue gypsy watch, I had made three years without wearing one. Ask me why I will never give an answer! And I have been thinking about it! Why have I not bought a watch after the last one got bad? For someone who says she loves accessories, it is really weird, isn’t it? Maybe because I didn’t just think about it, maybe I was discouraged in getting a new one (I can not recall the number of watches I had worn so far), or I was waiting to find this blue watch that I cherish so much, or maybe I just wanted to be without a watch. Really this calls for further questioning…why do you wear a watch? Is it for functionality or just for elegance?

These days, there are many styles, designs and sizes of watches. They are created with a lot of passion and inspiration. I have long been looking for something extra! Something that could make me feel unique and elegant. People wear watches for many reasons. The watch in itself has a purpose: give time! Time is money for business men, time goes and never comes back. You can’t catch up time that has eloped! Just for that, it is necessary, vital to own one.

People give reasons not to wear one:

• I have a phone —–Remember… your cell phone can run down and you might be running out of time.
• If it is not an expensive watch, I won’t go for any! It is true that a wrist watch make it easier for some men to display their style. But you should think of the functionality.

It is good to know that having a watch is another way of being conscious about time. Being conscious of the fact that we have limited time. Nevertheless some people are obsessed with watches. Usually, men do not wear jewelries like women. They can have two to three watches of different style, craftsmanship and worth. Actually, having many watches is not a bad idea. You won’t wear your “Baskets” to a wedding ceremony right? Nor won’t you wear your “shorts” for a Gala night! It is the same as you can’t go to a ball with a sport watch on your wrist! That won’t make it.

I love watches and I got myself a finger watch. It is elegant and makes me feel unique and classy. Here are some basic guidelines in choosing and wearing a watch.

• Do not wear a watch bigger than your wrist: Generally, men watch faces are larger than that of women. It is good to have the appropriate size of watch face.
• There is really no correct wrist or standard wrist to wear your watch. Let it be right or left, chose the wrist you feel comfortable with.
• Always make sure you choose the right watch for the appropriate occasion: a sports watch for a sports attire, a simple watch for a casual outing, an outstanding watch for formal gathering or event, a pocket watch that fits your style and look.
• To avoid any burden, make it simple, choose a simple watch that could go for your day to day activities or casual clothing.

There you go! Among the thousands and millions of watches created every day, you can pick one and make it yours. Your watch, just like your jewelries or perfume, it is part of who you are and express better your personality, keeping you alert on what time it is and how much time you got.
