When it comes to choosing watches, my hubby is very meticulous. Because for him who doesn’t like to wear other accessories like ring, bracelet and necklace, he was left with watch as the only accessory he could have own. If it’s not an essential style element, I doubt it if he would like one. You see, he only wears watch on school days but on weekends you’ll see it kept in a corner. Worst, expect them to be given away especially on vacation. That’s what happened to his 2 Everlasts watches. On the other hand, I’m proud that my hubby is a generous man. He loves to give away things that are dear to him (not to mention that they’re pricey). So it’s up to me to limit him in giving because that will left him with nothing especially with his wardrobe. Last April, when we visit Philippines, almost all his shirts and pants were given away to my younger brothers. They love to receive hand-me-downs from him because they don’t look as one rather they look brand new and of good quality. Watches were given and yeah his brand new converse shoes were among the loot.
Now, let’s go down to business…he..he…I’ve mentioned earlier that my hubby is meticulous in choosing his watches. Here are the few things he considered in buying his watches:
My hubby is a high school teacher so he choose a watch that looks great both when he’s in school wearing long sleeve and ties or on casual days wearing T-shirts and sports shoes.
2. The Face
Another thing that gets him when it comes to watches is the size of the watch face relative to his wrist. He wanted watches that have larger than standard faces. He doesn’t like a watch that once worn ends up like a ladies watch. I personally love bigger watch faces whether you're a big guy or not, it's a great look.
For hubby he considered it because he’s driving motorbike and sometimes along the way, he get caught in the rain, he doesn’t need t worry. And by the way, water resistant can mean several things so he makes sure he ask to what degree the watch really is resistant. Some watches will resist moisture from accidental splashing, rain, sweat, etc. and others will resist moisture up to certain depths such as 50 or 100 meters.
Hubby’s usual color choice is the tried and true colors that will blend and look appropriate both in formal and casual setting. He chooses dark blue or black.
This looks fashionable to me , reminds me one of the St. Moritz watches we’ve stumbled in internet. With a 60% discount, his watch became affordable to me ($400 with a 60% discount, you do the math) ..he..he…It’s a perfect travel companion. This chronograph black dial watch combines functionality and modern style. Light stainless steel case with genuine leather strap fits snugly and comfortably.
