So you’ve had that watch on your arm since college graduation, huh? We know, we know: it’s incredibly sentimental, and it’s been with you for so long. But guys, listen up: it is okay to upgrade. Your grandfather or uncle or dad’s best friend who gave it to you as a gift 10 years ago will understand. The watch you wear says a lot about who you are. You want to make good first impressions, especially on the people it’s important to impress. Bosses, women, in-laws, you name it. You don’t want to leave the house empty-handed – or empty-wristed, in this case – for meeting key people at important events. It’s time to get going on your style and your life. When shopping for Orient watches abroad, here’s what you really need to know:
Do Your Research
Not all watches are created equal. For this reason, it is crucial to do plenty of research on the best styles, types, and brands before you decide to buy. Your lifestyle plays a huge role in the watch you buy. Learn about the best watches under $500. If you’re more of a businessman, you probably don’t need the GPS equipped, hiking watch. If you are an outdoorsy person, you might want to consider a waterproof option. Tech your thing? Go for a watch with all the fun gadgets. This doesn’t have to be boring, you know. Research can be an annoying process, but it could make all the difference to your long-term satisfaction.
You Get What You Pay For
This can be a tough one to swallow. But the simple truth is: you get what you pay for. Let’s all be honest for a second: no one loves dishing out a bunch of money for something small, right? Even if it is valuable. But a great, well-made Orient watch truly isn’t something small. It’s a time-tested fashion piece, it’s practical in creating a confident and impressive image, and it completes your look. If you pay fifteen bucks at your local superstore for a watch with a plastic band and a flimsy clasp, it’s probably going to stop working within the month, and it certainly won’t win you any respect in the boardroom. But if you go for the higher price tag with the best material and guarantees, you’re going to have a watch that lasts. You get what you pay for.
Style is Style Everywhere
Here’s the thing: we all come from different places with different life experiences, so our expectations are going to be different. This is just the natural way of things. But the cold, hard truth is that style is style everywhere. If you want to get ahead in life, you need to engage with the social expectations around you. If you show up to a business meeting or an office party wearing a neon green, plastic wristwatch that looks like you stole it from your kid, no one is going to take you seriously. But if you come in your best dressed, sporting a shiny, top of the line watch, people are going to notice. Suddenly you’ll be someone people want to interact with, talk business with, flirt with. An accessory like this can boost your confidence and keep you on time! Take a look around the office or at your male friends and relatives and see what they’re wearing. A watch of equal caliber will help gain their respect and keep you on the path to where you want to go.
There’s clearly a ton to know, and we know that can be a bit overwhelming. But it’s all a part of the process, and it will make a huge difference in the end! Whether you’re buying an Orient watch for yourself, or as a gift for the special guy in your life, you can’t go wrong with this amazing accessory! Do yourself a favor, and invest in a watch you’ll be proud to be seen wearing wherever you go.
I’m always so fascinated by watches and how many choices there are. I’m glad you shared this with us, I’m sure it’s going to help people learn more about shopping for orient watchers abroad.
“You get what you pay for” – so true, I’d rather pay for an expensive watch once than have to keep throwing away money on cheap ones.
i don’t know much about watches but i find it amusing to read posts about things i don’t know . i enjoyed reading . thanks for sharing
Even in 2019, the right watch does make a difference. Thanks for the reminder!
Evidently everyone thought a watch was THE power gift to give this year. My 2nd oldest got three of them; one from his girl, one from his older brother and one from me!!
My husband is a huge fan of watches and is saving up money to buy a very elegant, very expensive watch as a present for himself. Thanks for the tips – they’ll be very helpful!
It’s always important to focus on the quality of products like this one. Never the pricetag.
Wow what a stylish watch. Any man who wears this will have instant class.
Watch. Is it fashion or daily necessary things. as a man,. I really like to watch but rarely use it
A classy watch is definitely the best accessory for anyone. Liked the options in the list.
My husband collects watches so whenever we go anywhere, I always wind up buying him a new one.
Totally guilty! Had this watch for years but I would definitely love to get a new one. Thank you for this recommendation. Checking it now.
My husband is ultra picky about which watches he wears and always researches them very carefully and thoroughly before making a decision. I agree, a watch adds so much to the overall outfit and image. You make a lot of great points, thanks for these tips.
I actually haven’t worn a watch for nearly 20 years, haha. I use to always lose them. I had one of those calculator watches for a long time and I have owned nicer watches as well. I just use my phone haha. But I know watches have their place, maybe someday I will own a watch again.
I totally agree! This is so true! Really great tips! Thank you.
I would love to sport a nice watch. It seems like they might be making a comeback!
A good quality watch is a good investment. It also never goes out of style and because of that, you can give it to your child or grandchild when they grow up. My dad used to have one, but we lost it when we moved house years ago.
Wow, these orient watches look so classy and stylish. I would love to gift these to my brother and daddy as they are very fond of watches and they look quite cool.
I’m gonna be honest, I kind of forgot waterproof watches existed. You have a lot of great ideas that I didn’t think of. Thanks!!
My husband loves watches so these are some great tips for us to follow! Thanks for sharing this!
I dont wear a warch anymore, but I know my dad has told me stories loving his watch!
My husband and I don’t leave the house “empty-wristed.” We make sure we have a wrist watch on whenever we go out. I agree that one should choose a watch that matches his/her lifestyle/needs. That is why we have we (hubby and me) have more than one watch at home. We choose to wear a watch that matches the occasion or the clothes we’re wearing.
I only have two watches and I only wear one of them regularly. I do agree that the good ones are an investment though. I’ve had mine for years.
This is very good information for people who love to collect watches. I enjoy reading this post.
I love this post, and very informative. Thanks keep up it up.
watches make wonderful gifts for the men in your life. and i totally agree, you get what you pay for. the nice thing is that they don’t lose value like a vehicle and they make nice keepsakes to pass on to your kids. great write up!
I think the best tidbit in this post is that you get what you pay for. If you want quality, you have to pay for it.
These are excellent tips. You absolutely have to pay more for high quality. Better watches are made with better materials, and better materials cost more. That being said, you don’t need to buy more watch than you need.
Wow love these tips. I am fascinated by watches and bit hard for me always to get the best one. Thanks for sharing with us.
Watches should be worn in formal occassion only. I think, for the day-to-day thing, the clock on my mobile phone will do.
I really think that watches are more than just fashion statement.. They are also consider an excellent investement knowing how expensive most brands are.
Thank you for sharing
when i was way younger.. I have a few pieces.. but with smart phones around and busy shced that I can’t even change my watch on a day to day basis.. I am off with one piece..
I don’t really care what watch I wear or when I wear them but, this is great! It’s very informative! I enjoyed reading this!
The watches you show here are so stylish and glamorous. Thanks for the helpful guide as I would like to buy one for my husband for Christmas.
Thanks for the tips. I do love watches and this is one of my dream brands.
Grab tips for safer shopping. Love all of these watches.
I don’t wear watches, and this is quite helpful. It is good to know what is a good quality watch for a gift!
This is a great article! I am a watch “freak” and have several, because you just never know!!! A watch for every occasion!
Doing research about the products is so important before buying anything. It is all worth it
This is a good read especially for those who love to collect watches. I love the designs, it’s so nice and elegant too. Indeed watches add up confidence too.
Those watches looks very classic, these are perfects for gifts. Honestly, I only have one which I was using for several years now. It’s from Swatch and though inexpensive but it’s worth the money I’ve spent for it. 🙂
Nnniiiccceeee….it’s so true and most of the time, the end outcome that you get what you pay for! Ensure you pay for what will truly bring out what you intended to say, with your gift or present! Thanks for sharing, Emman!
