How To Select A Quality Minimalist Wrist Watch That Suits Your Style

By Beryl Dalton


If you want a stylish alternative to telling time with your cell phone, you may want to consider wearing a watch. If your style is more understated, a minimalist wrist watch may be just what you need to compliment your style without being too overstated. Here is how to choose the watch that suits your style the best.

Watches have been around for hundreds of years. Originally, they were much larger and bulkier as it was hard to make reliable mechanisms that were small enough and light enough that they could be worn on a person's wrist. Over time, it became possible to make time pieces that were smaller and lighter but which could keep time accurately.

In the beginning, there were only analog options. Then, digital versions became available. These are now equally as popular for many reasons. Wearers love the fact that they can track many different pieces of information. Analog wearers also like the fact that they can use them as stop watches or even when diving to keep track of vital information.

The next is to consider how minimalist you want your timepiece to be. Most pieces that are made in this style have very simple faces. They may lack numbers or only have one. Some will have marks that indicate the different numbers while others rely on you to judge what the time would be from the relative position of the hands.

You may find that truly minimalist options are hard to read. They may not have numbers. Some may not even have indicators to tell when the different hours are. By doing a bit of research and looking at individual options you may be able to tell how much information you want on the face of your watch.

The way the piece looks and feels will be influenced by the size and shape of the face. Fashion trends move between very small faces and very large ones. Just remember that watches for men are usually designed to be heavier and larger than ones for women. This may help you narrow down your options.

Your choice may also depend on what the piece is made of. Allergies to specific metals may cause you to not be able to wear some pieces. You may want to think about versatility as well. By choosing a piece that has interchangeable bands, you may be able to get more wear out of it. You can change bands to match the different outfits you may wear. Some may even have ways to change the look of the face as well.

Shopping online can be a great place to start. You can search a number of different sites to see what they have to offer. You can also look at user reviews and get an idea of what pricing would be before you buy. You may also want to look at jewelry shops. They will have a good selection to choose from and you can see the piece up close and in person.
