    4 steps - Buyers guide for wristwatches

    Few things say as much about a man than his watch. That is why purchasing a watch is such a personal and important decision.

     

    1. The size of the case

    The case need to fit your wrist perfectly
    Too big and chunky will draw lots of attention, whilst a too slimmed down one will be more like a low key accessory than an eye catching statement piece. Too small, and your gorgeous timepiece ends up looking more like a women’s bracelet.

    2. Water resistance

    Water resistance is an important quality stamp on your men's watch. 5ATM means that it is ok to forget the watch on your wrist before taking a swim. 3ATM basically means that you can wear it in the rain but you need to be careful.
