When you come to buy a wristwatch, it is important that you ask yourself a few questions: Do you want a watch full of apps? (If you are not a fighter pilot, most likely not), do you have vision problems? (In that case, a light-colored board is not recommended), and how important is it to you whether it is a luxury brand or not? The answers will save you tens of thousands of dollars.
The world watch market offers a huge variety in different shapes and styles, watch prices range from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, what exactly is the difference between watches? And what suits you as a consumer? Here are some from out watches brand Pierre Richardson.
First it is very important to adapt the watch to our way of life. We will not buy a delicate hand watch if we are engaged in building contracting and we will not buy a massive clock if we type all day. Many people are shocked to find that the delicate leather strap has been torn, or water has entered the watch, or God forbid it has been lost because it fell apart in the middle of the skydive (all of these cases occurred in reality).
When adjusting the clock, make sure:
Clock panel color – it should be loved and appropriate to the character of the user. Bright panel hue and light dials can be an obstacle for those with short-sightedness or those who suffer from reflections. What is recommended for those who have difficulty is a white or black background so that both reflections are avoided and the time will be easy to see.
Chrono – A lot of people are happy to buy watches loaded with apps that they will never use. For those who are not a sports instructor, racing driver or fighter pilot – it is highly recommended to buy a watch with a clean “face” because that way it will be very easy to read the time.
Dashboard glows in the dark – you have nothing more frustrating than desperately trying to see the hour in the middle of the night. There are companies that excel in phosphorus that displays the time even if it has absorbed very faint light so it is worth checking the issue already in the store.
Watch size and weight – the watch must be adapted to the proportions of your wrist and your physical ability – For example, women’s hand watches have a delicate surface and strap than men’s hand watches.
Highly known brands will produce the same watch in different diameters so that you can choose what is convenient for you. It is very important to note that only after a few minutes do you feel the weight of the watch, so even if the eager seller compliments you, leave it on hand for a few minutes – many times you will be surprised to find that it just becomes a nuisance.
Straps or bracelets? – The watch straps are more pleasant to the touch, will accentuate the body of the watch better and give a refined look, the metal bracelets attached to the watches are much more durable, but those undecided should remember the disadvantage of bracelets: cold in winter, hand hairs caught from time to time and scratches are an integral part.
Quartz or automatic mechanism? – Quartz watches (battery charged) will be more accurate due to the modern mechanism powered by electrical energy, the modern and simplistic concept is in conflict with the automatic mechanism that relies on traditional and complicated mechanics based on centuries-old technology, it is important to remember that most luxury watches in the world are mechanical-automatic Quartz watches are not considered valuable collectible watches.
Water resistance – a very important issue, and here is the place to break a myth: the level of water resistance for watches varies depending on the structure of the watch box and its thickness, the thicker the watch the more durable its opacity.
The opacity levels are divided into several levels: 100M, 50M, 30M and above. The number of meters is an atmospheric pressure image applied to the clock under laboratory conditions. People who spend a lot of there time in swimming, diving or any other activity related with water are advised to purchase watches with a high level of opacity engraved on the back of the watch.
It is important to note that the differences between watch prices vary due to: the level of investment in the development and structure of the watch, the materials the watch is made of, the level of complication in design and mechanics, the question of whether it is handmade or mass-produced, and the quality and control of the watches.
If you have decided to buy a luxury brand – and in fact there are only a few dozen of these in the world – know that the imitation industry – the “replicas” – is thriving in the world. Because here it is the impression that determines – and who can already guess that what you wear cost you $ 350 instead of $ 35,000.
Well, although in rare cases it is difficult to find out, for the most part the cheap bracelet will expose the scams. In the case of a mechanism that is supposed to be mechanical, the seconds hand will skip every second, which indicates that a cheap quartz mechanism is hidden inside it.
So how do you end up buying a real, high-quality watch? The answer is very simple, and it is universal: only in stores approved by the brand. In each store you will find certificates and most importantly – the watch itself will be accompanied by a number of authentic certificates in which the serial number of the watch will appear.
