Watches For Men – Why Do Men Indulge?

Watches For Men – Why Do Men Indulge?

Over the years I have always been intrigued about men and watches. Noticing that this powerful accessory seemed to always be a talking point  I wonder what this mentality to wearing his watch was all about? Why most men wouldn’t bother too much about what they are wearing. But when it came to his watches there was meticulous care and research done. They would go into great detail about the story of their purchase and his watch.

It was the hunt for the watch that I am finding men love to share. I would always ask how many do you own? Time after time the same response will be shared. First came the smile or giggle then roughly ten came to mind?

Why Do Men Own Many Watches

I asked a man in his late 60’s, why men love watches? What is it about the watch that men have a love affair with? He explained it was a timeless piece of jewellery that was indiscreet and not for all to see. But when anyone took a close look, the watch defined who he was. The watch had a shopping history behind it. In some cases, the watch explained his first love or a broken heart or sadly a love that was tragically lost. It was his way to share with anyone who took the time to notice. A watch worn by most men is the most unobtrusive way of him sharing his life history.

What Else Make Men Buy Watches

The mechanics of the watch intrigues a lot of men, the automatic mechanism is an ultimate boys toy. The second reason is an image and you will see that a lot of brands affiliate themselves with a certain lifestyle, sport, cars, sailing etc. Thirdly it is the only way a man can splash out on expensive jewellery. Women can splash out on diamond rings or expensive neckpieces, whereas for men the choice is much more limited.

Vintage

It all comes down how much cash you have to spare. More so what personal message you are feeling at that given moment. Whether it’s chunky, material straps, gold or silver it all come down to you. Again do your research and go with your gut instinct if the watch don’t feel right. then walk away. Watch fashion has never looked so appealing for men. So enjoy the journey as we all know there is a love history behind your purchases. It’s all a matter of time.

 

Expensive Versus Care

How many times have you bought or heard the story of a man owning a very expensive watch and he lost it one way or another. Test the commitment first. Buy an inexpensive watch and if after a year he proven his worth then don’t hold back. You see there is a history to your next purchase.
