Men's Watches - A Guide to Buying Online

So you want to buy a mans watch online? There are some things you need to know to make an informed choice. As you're researching the subject I'll assume you are looking for a quality watch that says something about you. If you just wanted a watch to tell the time you could buy one in a street market at pocket money prices. These days it would work and be accurate and last a while but you want something more special.

Your mans watch is sometimes your only piece of jewellery. As such you wants it to say something about you. You may want a designer brand reflecting your street style. You may want a "watch for life", one of superb quality that you can pass on to your son. In any event it's wise to understand what's available.

There are many top designers offering mens watches in their collections. Armani, Calvin Klein, Guess, DKNY to name just a few. It's fair to say that these watches aren't made by those companies, more often the designers commission manufacture under their global brand. There are a huge number of such watches available. Be aware you are paying for style rather than necessarily substance when you buy a designer watch brand. That's OK if that's what you want of course.

If you are in the market for a watch from a specialist watch maker the choice is equally huge and the brands all say something slightly different about you and perhaps your lifestyle. Some watches also attract exceptionally good fakes so be very careful what you are buying. The market for fake or replica watches is very valuable and many fakes are very hard to spot even for professionals. Rolex is probably the brand most faked. Many of the major Swiss watch houses keep a tight control over where their brands can be sold and Rolex are probably the most extreme in this regard. Rolex is the number one watch brand in the world. Indeed it is number 71 in the top 100 of all global brands with a turnover of over $3 billion. Rolex is owned by a private trust and is not therefore solely motivated by profit.
