•Fashion
•Luxury

Watches fall into five basic categories and there is considerable overlap within those classifications of the different watch styles.

Casual watches

A watch that is designed for everyday use and typically compliments your overall style and comfort. Casual watches are ideal timepieces that you wear on the weekend or at a job that has casual work dress.

Casual watches are often inexpensive and quite affordable. And since these are the type of watches that you would wear on an everyday basis, it’s important to find one that is built with comfort in mind.

Fashion watches

When it comes to the latest trends, fashion watches are the timepieces that boast stylish materials that help them to stand out. Choosing a “fashion” watch is less about coordinating with your clothes and more about picking a style that is an extension of your personality.

Fashion watches are meant to be stylish accessories as well as being a timepiece.

Dress watches

When you’re looking for a more sophisticated approach to style, it is dress watches that provide you with the added level of class. When you think about dress watches, think formal and evening wear. Think weddings and dinner parties.

A dress watch is meant to make a suit look better and add more to your glamorous style. Also, what is appropriate for a dress situation is very subjective. For some jobs, wearing a bright orange watch with a three piece suit would be very appropriate. For others, it wouldn’t. But there are some factors to consider when selecting a watch to wear at work. If you are in a job that requires that you be able to easily read your watch, then the readability of the watch face is a consideration as well.

The width of watch can affect how well it fits under your dress shirt sleeves. Or you might intentionally choose a larger watch so it stands out. Diamonds or gemstones might be appropriate for more formal situations. And the type of watch band is a consideration as well.

Sport watches

These types of timepieces compliment an active lifestyle. Their designed to be tough yet still stylish. And most of all, they are built to be useful. Whether running, swimming or hiking, your sport watch should be an additional tool to your overall success.

Water resistance, shock resistance, and features such as timers, alarms, and stopwatch functions are some of the considerations when looking for a watch to use during sporting activities. Sometimes a digital watch would be more helpful than an analog one. The bezel, the rotating dial surrounding the face of the watch, can be useful in some sporting situations.

The watch case

The case of the watch can be made of a variety of materials including plastic, steel, stainless steel, and even gold, silver, or titanium. Obviously, the type of case material can add dramatically to the cost of a watch.

The crystal

The crystal inside a watchThe crystal of a watch is usually either acrylic, mineral glass, or synthetic sapphire, in increasing order of hardness and cost. Acrylic crystal is an inexpensive form of plastic that does scratch easily, but the scratches can be buffed out.

Mineral glass is composed of several elements that do resist scratches somewhat. Scratches cannot be easily buffed out. Synthetic sapphire is three times harder than mineral crystals and 20 times harder than acrylic ones.

To produce synthetic sapphires, a tiny seed of genuine sapphire is dipped into molten aluminum oxide and slowly (at a rate of 100 mm per hour) drawn out, producing lumps of synthetic sapphire of up to 200 kg in mass. For making watch crystals and windows, the chunks, called boules, are grown is a specific orientation so that the result, when polished, is crystal clear optical class. The extreme hardness of sapphire makes these crystals highly scratch resistant and the most expensive.

The watch band

Watch bands can be made of many different materials. Plastic, rubber, and various types of leathers are common. If you get a watch with a standard width band, then you can buy any band you like to use with the watch.

Complications

The features and functions of the watch are known as “complications.” Examples are a stopwatch, moon phase indicator, date display, and many more. Complications will increase the cost of the watch as well as the amount of power it requires.

Water Resistance

Watches are rated for pressure, not depth. A 5 ATM rating would mean it could survive up to about 165 feet (50 meters). That is suitable only for swimming in shallow, not deep, water. A 10 ATM watch can be used for snorkeling. It would not be useable for scuba diving. For that you need a watch rated 15 ATM or greater .
