Cartier Watch

In my opinion Cartier make some of the best dress watches on the market. They are always stylish, clean and very simple. This is what makes them so good - the simplicity and the elegance. Their watches are not overdone with features and do not crowd the watch face.

This 18k rose gold Cartier wristwatch is no different. It is a simple face with very distinctive look. A beautiful watch for a beautiful woman.

Your watch says a lot about you. Whether it is a luxury, designer, brand name or sports watch, the time piece on your wrist communicates volumes about who you really are. In this article I am going to be giving you some tips on how to choose the right watch.

1. When will you be wearing the watch?

If you are going to need the watch while you are running out in the park then there is no point spending $10,000 on a Rolex that is going to get dirty, scratched and worn out. Similarly, if you have a lot of business functions to go to you do not want to be sporting a heart monitor watch that doesn’t match your suit.

Before you purchase luxury watch you want to establish when you will be wearing it the most. If it is in social situations you want a more casual dress watch. If it is to high end business deals then you want a luxury dress watch. And so on and so forth.

2. What is your watch budget?

Watches vary in prices. This is especially true for luxury or designer watches. For example, you can pick up a really nice Swiss watch for $1000 or you can spend $40,000 on a top end Audemars Piguet. The difference is staggering.

When you are considering how much to spend on a watch you have to think about a few things. Firstly, how often are you going to wear the watch. Do you really need it? Secondly, how much do you need an expensive one? Can you get something similiar for a better price? Thirdly, how much do you love the watch? If you are not a “watch person” who loves and adores his watch then there is no point spending thousands of dollars on a Rolex that is going to get mistreated.

3. What watch catches your eye?

One of the most important things to remember when choosing a new watch is that you have to be true to what you like. There is no point buying something that you think will impress other people if you yourself do not like it. Sadly, this is what most people do.

Think about colours and styles. Do you like a metallic watch with a big chunky face. If so then a Rolex or an Omega might be for you. Or, do you like a simple face and a golden band? If so then a Tissot might be for you.

There are so many watches out there to choose from. A simple look around Buy Watches will show you more brands and styles than you could have imagined. Make sure you pick a brand and a style that you really love.

4. Take your time

Buying a watch should not be a rushed event. Much like buying a car or a house it should be a well thought out and measured transaction. Sure, if you see a watch that you love you should make a note of it. But don’t buy it right away. Think about it first. As with most things your tastes are likely to change. It is a lot of money to fork out for something that you might not like in two years.

5. Consider the resale value

Will you want to sell this watch down the track? Will it fetch the price that you think? It is very important to look at the value of second hand watches in the brand you are considering purchasing. It is also essential to learn how to maintain your watch so as to not affect its resale value. For example, you need to get most mechanical watches serviced at least every three years to maintain their value.
