In general, here are some criteria to decide when choosing a watch.
1.
Set your budget and determine your price range. Not more than $100 or $1000?
2.
Decide on the type of watch you want. Analog or Digital or Both?
3.
Decide on the band. Do you want a stainless steel band or a leather band? High-quality stainless steel is more scratch-resistant compared to other alloys. Even with scratches, it is also easier to polish them out.
4.
If you tend to bang into things, look for a watch with sapphire crystal glass which is more scratch-resistance than regular glass. Plastic scratches very easily.
5.
Watches with large faces will slide around your wrist with their extra weight. Avoid them if you do not like to wear your watch too loose.
6.
Choose a watch that is durable. Check the manufacturer to make sure they have a reputation of good watches. Rolexes, Tag Heuers, Rado, and other well known brands are very well made.
Casio watches are known for its sturdy characteristics of withstanding weather and pressure changes. Baby G watches are tough and can withstand pretty serious abuse. Swatch watches are funky, colourful and bold.
