You can spend several thousand dollars on quality watches of domestic production, for example, if the movement is custom made or made with precious metals.

Choosing the right watch is not easy, especially when you need a watch that is versatile. The main question is which mechanism is better: mechanical or electronic... Mechanical watches, in comparison with quartz ones, are not as accurate during operation and require more maintenance. Here you can see the preponderance in the direction of mechanical watches. They are a "living" mechanism.

The next question that arises when choosing a watch, which one to buy - on a belt or bracelet... In this case, you should choose those that will be comfortable for each specific person. A feature of the bracelet is reliability and long service life. At the same time, the strap is made of a soft material that is pleasant to the touch and is much lighter than a bracelet. It's not bad when the option comes with a bracelet or belt.

If the choice is between a belt and a bracelet, better to buy a watch with a bracelet, because the strap is not so difficult to buy later. But when looking for a separate bracelet, difficulties can arise.

This accessory should not stand out from the general external image., therefore, when clothes do not correspond to the status, expensive models of watch movements in combination with them will look ridiculous. Conversely, cheap gadgets don't go well with expensive clothing.

When choosing a watch, it plays an important role stylistic direction... For people who prefer business style, it is better to give preference to classic options without unnecessary functionality and elements that come with a dark-colored leather strap. For everyday wear, you can choose devices that are more reliable and a metal bracelet. Shockproof options with protection from water are well suited for people who are actively involved in sports. In this case, the models must be equipped with a steel bracelet and have the properties of a pedometer.

The width of the wrist influences the choice of the dial. On a wide wrist, miniature options look ridiculous. There is a wide variety of counterfeit products these days, mostly made in China, which have a much lower cost than the original. You should be able to distinguish fakes from the original. The basis of authenticity is the certificate, which indicates the place of production.
