People always say that ‘Time is gold’ and thanks to the genius invention, keeping track of time on the go is made possible with a watch. This small portable timepiece can be seen on almost everyone’s wrist, both the men and the women.
Like their other clothing senses, men would usually choose practicality over fashion when it comes to selecting watches. Men’s watches are usually more distinct in features and are also heavier in metal composition. Although most men don’t usually wear jewelery, watch is considered the most worn jewelery for a guy. However, unlike the women, men seldom change their watches according to season or style like how women change accessory to match the color of their dresses. Therefore, men select their watches with careful consideration and their watches should be of superb quality, with elegance and durable too.
Women, on the other hand, usually own more than one watch. For the women, the watch not only function as a time-tracker, it is also a fashion accessory. Like how women own many pairs of shoes to suit different occasions, the same goes for watches. An elegant and expensive watch for formal occasions and a more casual one for day wear. Throw in a couple more for sports and also for “those must look good on me” purchases. Women typically go for a thinner strap with a smaller face when it comes to selecting watches. Most women also go for metallic and black leather straps. Those who wants to make a statement might probably go for colored straps to contrast with their clothing while the more athletic of them would prefer a sports watch.
Clearly, the taste in watches differs between the men and the women. But that does not mean that a woman cannot wear a man’s watch. In truth, some men consider it sexy when the ladies wear men’s watches. The size of a man’s watch may be a lot bigger than a ladies’ watch, but you may opt for those that are smaller in size but also gives you the look that you wanted when worn on your wrist. If you are aiming for a sporty look, wearing a guy’s sports watch would hardly be noticeable. It would also be easier to pair a masculine watch with jeans. Men’s watches are also very suitable for the hippies.
Unisex watches is also an option if your consider women’s watches to be too dainty. Unisex watches are suitable for both men and women and has both its masculine and its dainty side. For example, the watch may have a sporty design with exposed screws and powerful hands and at the same time, set with diamonds around the face with a thinner metallic strap to show off its its feminine side.
There is no right or wrong with choosing a watch that differs from your gender or a little out of your comfort zone. If anyone asks, just tell them ‘Because I love it’.
