Before You Buy A Watch - Compare Price and Design

By , About.com Guide

The first thing you will want to decide is what purpose you want your new watch to serve. Looking for style? Shop unique designs, cool colors, and trendy band materials. Comfort is important for a casual look. Dressy watches can be steel and black for sleek dramatic looks or gold and silver, with a diamond bezel. Good watches for work should include alarms and clear markers. You have a big selection to choose from so take your "time" and choose the one that best fits your needs.

Casual - Bands - Leather, Rubber, Silver, Steel, Titanium

Compare prices on casual watches including brands such as, Pulsar, Bulova, Fossil and Timex. For medium price ranges, browse Seiko, Swiss Army, or Tommy Bahama. Looking for top of the line? Try designers like Gucci, Tag Heuer, Ebel, and Movado.

Dress Watches

You can find classic styles in all the price ranges when shopping for a dress watch. For a professional look, two-toned gold and silver designs are flexible. In the medium price range, there are sharp looking bracelet link designs, textured dials and other elegant styles. Jewelry clasps, crystals and mother-of-pearl add that special touch. The really expensive designs include exquisite women's mini dress watches made in 18K yellow gold, diamonds and other luxurious stones. The sky is the limit.

Sport Watches

Sport watches are neat. They have stuff like a 24-hour stopwatch, mega timers and alerts, calculators, chronographs and are generally water resistant. The designs range from super colorful to a more sleek design that gets even sleeker the higher in price you go. Chopard has one for over $5,000 that "glistens in diamonds, rubies, sapphires and premium grade steel", just the watch I want for my next camping trip! I hope you enjoy browsing, I sure did.

Forzieri, Movado, Nike and Omega seem to top the list a lot. In the real expensive designs, Cartier often appears at the top. This doesn't surprise me. They make a great product.

Are diamonds still a girls best friend? They are beautiful, indeed, and look particularly nice on watches. If you've always wanted a diamond watch or you are ready for a new style, the choices are fabulous. They range from one diamond to, well gosh they didn't say, but it is $25,200 so maybe they just couldn't count them all. Citizen watches scored high as being the most popular - most often.
