(1/7) Seven elements of men's watch purchase.
What grade of watch do I need?
Everything depends on the economic base, so when choosing the specific grade of watches, we must first do what we can. Mr. Lei Zhu, a famous watch critic, once mentioned a principle-buy a watch with a monthly salary of two months. I believe this principle is very practical for the working class, which does not affect daily life and conforms to the identity of the wearer. According to different standards, watches can be divided into many different grades. In social situations, people generally distinguish their categories according to their prices. According to this standard, watches can be divided into four categories: luxury watches, high-end watches, mid-range watches and low-end watches. At the current price, luxury watches 100000 yuan or more, high-grade watches 5000-20000 yuan, middle-grade watches 2000-5000 yuan, and low-grade watches 500-2000 yuan.
What style of watch do I need?
Mr. Zhong Yonglin, a famous collector of dead watches, believes that a person should have three watches in his life; Everyday watches, sports watches, gorgeous and dazzling watches. And if the strength permits, each level is multiplied by three, and there is no regret in this life. This is the master's words. From the first watch, we should make a choice according to our own professional and communication needs. Generally speaking, the watches we wear every day should be functional, comfortable to wear and classic and versatile. The sports watch is suitable for different sports, such as diving, golf and polo. Finally, the so-called gorgeous and dazzling watches are suitable for high-end occasions. Most of them are jewelry watches, precious metal watches and watches with complex functions. No matter the price or craft, it is the king of watches, and it is also the ultimate goal of many watch players.
What function watch do I need?
For users of watches, watches are time-sensitive and their functions can be completely ignored. But with the in-depth understanding of watches, most watch fans will choose watches with different functions. At present, consumers pay more attention to the storage of electricity, the time zone between two places and the display of watches with diving function. Watches with power storage display can observe the remaining power of watches at any time, and the time zones of the two places are very suitable for business people who travel around the world. Diving watches save a lot of trouble for people who often swim and exercise. The moon phase, three questions and other functions that are not practical but very ornamental should be selected according to needs.
What brand of watch do I need?
Whether it is a novice or a watch fan, there will be hesitation in the choice of brand. There are too many good brands and temptations in this world. If you want to make up your mind to buy a watch, you must make sure the brand you need before buying it. The choice of this brand is a matter of opinion. Bian Xiao found some ranking articles about watch brands for your reference.
As the only jewelry except the ring on a man's body, the watch naturally becomes one of the most important decorations in social occasions. In western countries, watches, together with pens and lighters, have been called the "three treasures" of adult men and are indispensable for every man. Like jewelry, the watches people wear in social situations often reflect their status, identity and wealth. So how to choose a watch and wear it on the right occasion requires us to fully understand the following questions.
What kind of watch do I need?
Today, the three major clock manufacturers in the world are Switzerland, Germany and Japan, all of which have the characteristics of rigor, meticulousness and strong discipline. I think only such a country has the patience to spend a lifetime making small things like watches.
Speaking of watches in these three countries, each has its own characteristics. Let's start with the most famous Switzerland. Excellent technology, accurate timing and strict audit, meticulous Swiss character and the concept of national brand inheritance from generation to generation are firmly cast on the small dial and movement.
Apart from Germany, I personally like German watches. Germans are very pragmatic. They believe that design must serve the product. You can't see fancy designs on German watches. Some of them are always practical functions and always simple designs.
Finally, Japan and watches made in Japan adopt a simple design style. Moreover, what they pursue is not how to make the watch more complicated, but how to make the ordinary watch go more accurately. Playing is the most basic and practical technology. This lean demand for movement time has really won a good reputation for Japanese watches.
What material does my watch need?
Of course, you can't ignore the material when choosing the right watch, but there are more than ten kinds of watch materials, which are divided into precious metals and other metals. Precious metals mainly refer to gold and silver materials. This kind of watch is generally high-grade, and its main characteristics are high appreciation and preservation. The most mainstream of other metals is steel, which has low cost, good corrosion resistance and wear resistance and is the mainstream material in watch manufacturing. Finally, ceramics, which have become more and more popular in the past two years, are light in weight, ten times harder than stainless steel, and have the advantages of heat resistance, never wear and never fade, claiming to be the materials with the best comprehensive properties.
What shape watch do I need?
Finally, talk about the appearance problem. Since watches are indispensable decorations for men, the appearance must be the most important. It is no exaggeration to say that the shape is the key to determine the overall style of the watch. There are basically three mainstream styles of watches: classic round, elegant square and retro barrel. Among them, the circle is the most versatile and safest shape, suitable for any type of people, but it also means more popular. For those who pursue individuality, the latter can be considered. Square is a shape that needs temperament to control. This style is very suitable for people with small wrists in China. More elegant, it can highlight the introverted beauty of the orientals. Finally, there is the barrel type. This kind of watch is very retro, but it is also rare. Its style is similar to that of a square watch, and it is suitable for people who pursue individuality.
