When it comes to real men and jewelery

When it comes to real men and jewelery, there is one main rule to apply: Less is more, but there is one piece of jewelery that a man should never be without and that's a watch.

There has never been a better choice for men when it comes to choosing a watch, every clothes store and pharmacy now has a glass display with the latest, trendiest watches available at cheap prices. This does not mean that you should buy a new watch every time the display is changed. A watch is a timeless (excuse the pun!) reflection on what type of person you are, what type of man you are. You can tell a lot about a man by his watch and this make buying a watch a very personal choice.

Your watch has three main functions. It has to tell the correct time, it has to be an honest reflection of who you are and it must make you look good.

Telling the Time. The first obvious function of your watch is to be able to tell the time reasonably accurately. If it's gaining or losing a second a week, it probably won't have a huge affect on your life but you want it to be reasonably accurate. Even the cheapest of watches will do this so it's not a major factor when choosing a watch.

Reflecting who you are. A good watch is a reflection of the person wearing it. This means paying for style, durability and of course engineering. A watch should hint at sophistication and rise above trend. It should identify you and your personality. It should be functional but not loud, stylish but not brash. A watch should say something about who you are, are you casual? sporty? sophisticated? A watch can show off your good attributes but it wont compensate for bad ones.

Make you look good. A watch has to be appropriate for the situation you are in. A diving watch may look well under water but ridiculous at a business meeting. A heart rate monitor is fine out jogging but wear it on a date and you'll probably be going home alone. You may want to invest in two, or even more watches so you have one to match different occasions and events. You may one to invest more money in just one watch, just be sure it's not going to look out of place a lot of the time.

And to conclude, a word of warning. Do not but a fake Rolex, those who are not in the know will assume it's a fake and those in the know will know it's a fake!
