Mens watches at BensonTrade
Where a men's watch used to function mainly as a indicator of "time", nowadays the watch has various other functions. Depending on the man who wears the watch, a watch can, for example serve as a status symbol, as an accessory to an outfit or as a tool for various sports. Purely observing time is no longer the only function of a men's watch. Nowadays people can also read the time from a mobile phone, clock in the office, in the car or in public transport. Yet a watch for men is still an important piece of jewelry.
Depending on the task the watch receives from the wearer, a man will choose a watch with high end technology such as the "Swiss made" watches or, on the contrary a cheaper one with for example Japanese quartz technology. When the watch mainly serves as a status symbol, a man will be happy to show himself with a luxury watch from a brand with name. For example from Tag Heuer, Breitling or Rolex. Even if the man in question is a collector, there is a good chance that he will go for watches of recognized quality. The average watch collector will generally collect automatic watches, since the profession of the authentic watch making is interwoven. The technology and expertise behind this is often what attracts the collector. Here comes also the love for the watch winder, as the ultimate watch accessory. A watch winder should certainly not be missing in the collection of a true enthusiast of automatic watches. Yet there are of course plenty of collectors who include both mechanical and beautiful quartz (watch with battery) watches in their collection. Because many interesting and special models can also be found in the field of quartz watches.
When a man chooses a watch mainly to combine with his outfit, this can of course also be a nice quartz watch. The trendy man who is consciously working on this will probably not immediately go for a very cheap watch. This man too, could opt for multiple watches, fitting with different outfits. The sportsman will want to go for quality and look at the functions of the watch such as water resistance, accuracy and durability. In addition, it is often important for the sporty man that the watch can take a beating. A quartz watch is then preferred because it is less sensitive than an automatic watch. Apart from that, this type of watch is often lighter in weight and therefore more comfortable to wear. A quartz watch also displays time more accurately than an automatic watch, which is of course very important in sports. In short, the choice of a watch depends on the different men and their taste, the function of the watch and of course the budget of the person who buys the watch.
Our most important advice is "follow your guts and choose a watch of your own taste".
