When it comes to buying luxury watches, there are so many options available to choose from. There are so many brands, colours, and styles to choose from when you are purchasing your first ever luxury watch.

Mark Worthington Jewellers are here with some helpful tips and advice to help guide you when you buy your first luxury watch.

Getting Started

One of the first things that you may want to consider is whether you want a mechanical watch or a Quartz watch. If you are looking to purchase a traditional timepiece then mechanical watches may be the better option for you. Mechanical watches that are available on the market feature springs and gears and are either hand wound or automatic. In comparison, Quartz watches are battery powered, tend to keep time more accurately and are more convenient.

Functionality

After you have chosen a mechanical or Quartz watch, you may want to also think about what functions you want your watch to have. In addition to basic timekeeping functions, popular watch features include calendar dates, a chronograph, and alarm functions. For example, GMT watches can feature a second hour hand which enables the user to know the time in a second time zone. When browsing for watches, consider which watch functions would be useful for you.

You don’t want to be paying extra for functions that you don’t really need.

Style

When choosing a luxury watch, one main feature to consider is the watch style. With many design options on the market, there are so many watches styles that would suit you. Wrist watches now come in many finishes such as stainless steel, titanium, leather, and other materials. If you are looking for a sporty watch, mens Breitling watches tend to be more ostentatious and robust. Sports watches like these tend to feature chronographs, rotating bezels, and are also waterproof.

If you prefer a more elegant style, you may prefer a dress watch instead, like a ladies Cartier watch. Luxury dress watches tend to be smaller, less complicated, and include less functions for a seamless minimalist design style.

Quality

When you are ready to make your watch purchase, take time to consider the quality of your chosen watch and the other watches available. For example, buying a used watch instead of a new one may help you save money in the future. It is also useful to note that your watch may increase in value over time. Watches like mens Rolex watches may increase in price over the years, especially if you have purchased a discontinued or vintage watch. Another advantage of looking at used watches is that you will often see watch brands side by side that you wouldn't usually see together, making it easier for you to compare their watch quality.

Now you've had a quick crash course in watches, you will be able to easily find the perfect watch that suits you. By focusing on functionality, style, and quality, you will be able to thoroughly research watches before making a final purchase decision.
