Things To Consider Before Purchasing A Watch

By: Wade Derksen

Purchasing a watch is as easy as plunking down change for a cup of coffee, right? Nope. If you want to find a watch that matches your quality and price range then you will need to spend more time thinking about your watch purchase. If you take the time to research watches you improve your chances of finding the best deal. You will also ward off the opportunity to buy a watch impulsively that might not be the best watch for your needs.

You need to consider the functionality of the watch that you want to purchase. Sure, the watch can give you the time of day, but what other qualities do you want it to have? How much time precision do you want the watch to display? Minutes or milliseconds? Do you want it to become a family heirloom? Knowing your thoughts on these types of issues will help you to find the best watch that matches your needs.

When your pocket book is need, price is usually a concern in any purchase. Watches are no exception. Determine your price range before you get to the jewlery store. It is better to have a range instead of a specific number so you can consider a wider range of watch models and brands.

What kind of activities will your watch be part of? Do you plan on wearing it while you are jogging or only on special occasions? Is it necessary for your watch to be strong so that it can withstand the tasks of your job?

Consider the type of service plan your watch will need. Mechanical watches usually need to be serviced once every three years. Battery operated (quartz) watches are normally serviced when it is time to change the battery.

What material are you looking for? There are a wide range of choices available. Plastic, resin, gold-plated, and stainless steel are just a few of the options. Again, you will want to consider lifestyle when thinking about the material. Also, if you are thinking about gold plating, know that price depends upon the thickness and it is measured in microns.

Finally, you should consider the level of water resistant protection you will need for the watch. If you only need the watch to continue functioning properly through rain and some occasional wet spots, then a water resistant rating of 3 ATM (30 meters or approximately 100 feet) will suffice. For anything other than living under water or some professional diving, a rating of 5 ATM (50 meters or roughly 165 feet should be fine for occasional swimming and things like that.

As you can see from these considerations, buying a watch requires research that needs to be made before you go to the jewlery store. In summary you need to figure out where and why you will wear the watch plus how much your budget will allow for the watch. This way you improve your chances of finding the watch that has always been at the top of your wish list.
