Buying watches is sort of like purchasing cars—the more features you get, the more money you are going to spend. But of course, the more money you spend, the better the features!And just like cars, watches come in a variety of price ranges with different features available for each. In fact, before you even start browsing specific makes and models, it's important to consider the price you want to spend, as this is going to directly affect your available options. If you're looking to treat yourself, for example, I recommend brands such as Bulova, Casio, and Charriol. For something even more luxurious, shop big names like A. Lange & Sohne, Breitling, or Cartier.
Now that you've figured out a price, it's time to pick out a style. To begin, think about how you would like to describe your new watch—trendy, rugged, classic, elegant, or sporty, the list goes on and on. Next, figure out specific elements that will help you exemplify this style. For example, people looking for sporty watches should look for heavy-duty chronograph faces, while shoppers in search of something more elegant may want to limit their options to timepieces made primarily our of gold, stainless steel, and diamonds.
Last, figure out what kind of features you require by thinking about your lifestyle. Do you need to know the hour in multiple time zones? To have water resistance up to 300 meters? To protect your purchase with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal case? Answer these questions, and you'll be well on your way to buying discount luxury watches!
