Men's fashion does not change as rapidly as women's fashion. Therefore, I think men should invest in classic basic pieces that they can wear regardless of the trends. For example, every man should own a classic black two button suit. And to wear with that suit, every man should own a watch. Yes, I know, your phone tells you the time, but nothing finishes off an outfit like accessories; every woman will tell you that. There are many styles, designs, and prices of watches to fit every personality. Think of you watch as another way to show people your individuality.
Now if you only have a watch like this Casio, well, you should consider something a little more formal. If you are running a marathon, sport fishing, or painting the house, then a watch with a dozen functions and a digital readout is fine. But remember, your phone does all that too. You may want to pick something else for the office, like this classic style from Fossil. There are no set rules for fashion, but guidelines to help you look
good. Here are my guidelines for selecting a watch to help you guys
look the best you can.
If you are only to going to buy one watch, pick a
classic face with a silver case and a leather band. I think your band
should match your belt. If you have more brown belts, then choose a
brown leather band. Black belt, then black band. To be safe you could
always have one of each.
There are plenty of sporty or casual watches out there. But like I said before, sporty doesn't mean it needs to have a thousand functions. This blue
rubber band watch from fossil is a great example of a casual watch to
wear with jeans, or casual Friday at the office. Of course I don't
expect you to have a blue belt, that's why this watch is more casual.
If you do not want to keep buying watches, try buying a few extra bands
and change them out depending on the season, occasion, or your mood.
Fossil has a great website where you can pick the face and bands
separately to really give you a custom look.
If the traditional watch face is, well, too traditional for you, look at something like this steel band and face watch from Storm. This watch can add a modern touch to a suit and still be sophisticated. Pair it with jeans and a vintage graphic tee and you can retain your cool status with the hipsters.
Fianlly, take a leap of faith with something futuristic. It might take you a second or two to read, but what a conversation starter. The black and steel combination of this watch from Storm adds a formal touch to it's super modern feel.
The next time someone asks you what time it is, don't fumble in your pocket for your phone. Instead show off that timepiece that reveals part of your personality.

For my birthday, I'll take one Cylon watch (pictured above). Thank you.
