Rule 3 : Buy metal bracelet and leather
Wristwatches come in metal bracelets and leather bands. Have both. Why? A metal bracelet watch can be your ever-day watch. A leather band is for those moments you need a subtle touch, like going for a dinner or meeting.

Switching watches around can be fun and it shows off your character as someone who’s not monotonous.

There you have it, three (3) rules you can apply to choosing a wristwatch. I did not mention brand nor size (wristwatch normally come in 3 sizes) or shape. These factors are very subjective and really depends on individual taste.

If you have any more rules we all can apply to buying a wristwatch (especially for men) do drop me a comment.

http://www.rinxwatches.com/ax-armani-exchange-square-chronograph-watch-ax1173.htmlHere’s my suggestion – a perpectual calendar wristwatch. I own two of these watches and boy do I love them. Why? You only have to set the date once and the watch will take care of the rest. And it even count leap years. Most brands carry a version of this type of watch and it makes more sense then buying a chronograph. I currently own the Seiko Premier Perpectual Calendar and its a time-less elegant watch. I purposely went around looking for the above model, it was release in 2007 and is the first model of this kind in the Premier line, making it a collector’s item of sorts.

Rule 1: Go for function
Watches tell more than just time, they can come with a lot of dials and tell you stuff from dates to temperature, to altitude and tidal cycles. So ask yourself, What would I primarily use watch for?

A favourite watch to have is a chronograph and almost all watch brands have a version of this form of watch.

A chronograph is basically a stop watch and on some models, you can tell how fast your car is moving by reading the chronograph. Now, chronographs are great watches to have (I have two of these) yet, when would you actually use one? After a while, you’ll realize you have dished out serious money for a function, you only used the first few days of owning your watch. The rest of the time, you’re just looking at your watch to, well, tell time. So buying a chronograph may not be real value for your bucks, unless you fly a small aircraft every other day.

So what do you get, in terms of function?

Men are such unfortunate beings. We don’t go far when it comes to fashion. How many ways can you fashion a white button down shirt? And how many ways can you wear khaki pants? Or that faded corduroy blazer you got hanging in your ward-robe?

And we can’t wear make-up. Though I’ve seen some metro-sexual friends attempt nail-polish but I just don’t dig that style.

Now, the one accessory that would truly show your status among men is the humble wristwatch. Trust me, a good wristwatch says a lot about you; just ask James Bond. How many times has his wristwatch saved his back? And wristwatches come in several flavors, though you may want to put some thought into it before splashing out serious money for one.

So here I lay down my watch inspired rules to choosing the best wristwatch a man can have (if you don’t agree, shoot me).
