    3 reasons EVERY man needs a wrist watch

    Today there are watches everywhere. On computers, phones, stoves, refrigerators, televisions. Basically everywhere. Some people say that the wristwatch has served its purpose and is now obsolete (except for the "smart ones"). Of course, that’s not the case. In this article, we’ll give you 3 strong reasons why all men should sport a watch on their wrist.

    1. Watches Are Practical

    A man with short dark hair and a beard is wearing a blue suit and a wristwatch. He poses with his hand near his head, looking at the camera with a neutral expression. The background is plain and softly lit.

    Watches don’t crash, lag, or need to be restarted. Phones do.

    One of the big advantages of a watch – especially over a smartphone – is how long it can operate. Many watches are made to either be self-powered through motion or use a small amount of energy from a battery. Consider years of maintenance-free time telling, and compare that to a smartphone’s 8 hours!

    On other occasions where it’s advisable to leave the phone concealed – like the beach, a funeral, or a wedding, a watch is a subtle and more convenient way to check time.

    A wrist watch is the most convenient and stylish way to tell the time. “I don’t need a watch because I have a phone,” is a common response from people that don’t understand manners.

    A quick glance towards your wrist is a much classier way to keep track of time instead of awkwardly fishing for your smartphone in your bag or pocket.

     2. Watches Signal Style

    A person in a white shirt and beige pants wears a rectangular watch while holding a brown wallet with GÖTZINGER embossed on it. They are in an indoor setting with blurred festive lights and decor creating a cozy atmosphere in the background.

    “My SÖNER has attracted more attention than any other item in my wardrobe, including my phone.”

    The range of acceptable jewelry for a man is limited. Many men only wear two main accessories on their hands – a nice watch and a simple wedding band if they’re married.

    In addition to helping men stick to their schedules, wristwatches make it easier for them to display their sense of style. They are a form of self-expression – reflecting a hint of luxury, adventure or athleticism depending on the style of the watch.

    Watches communicate a lot about the wearer’s personality. For those that look for classy rectangular timepiece on their wrist, a SÖNER can be an appreciated, timeless, and masculine accessory.

    3. Watches fascinates men

    Since the “beginning of time” men have been obsessed with devices that measure time. Your watch is a reminder that our time is limited. Therefore, your watch makes you more aware of how you spend your hours.

    TIME, WASTE IT WISELY…

    Beyond the mechanical engineering of a watch – men are fascinated by these tiny devices that can mark time. Wearing a watch is a great way to add interest to your wardrobe, especially if you’re a guy.

    Find a wristwatch that stands out and reflects your personality.
