How to Buy a Watch for a Man

A luxury watch is more than an accessory: it completes the entire look of a gentleman.

That's what makes buying a watch for a man so tricky. Thankfully, we have just the advice you need to find the perfect watch. Although every man has his own unique look and style, there are a few universal tips to keep in mind when searching for the right luxury watch.
 

Specific Interests

Think about what the gift recipient is most interested in. Is he into the great outdoors? You can look into iconic sport watches, such as the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak . There's also more specific types of watches such as diving , pilot , and yacht watches. Is he more of a suit and tie kind of man? You might want to go with a classic, high end style, such as a Patek Philippe.

Price Range

In our last article , we covered what to expect in different price ranges: On the low end, you can expect to pay at least $500-$600 on a decent mechanical Swiss watch. For an entry level timepiece, the range is generally around $1,000 – $3,500. And mid-range can fall between $5,000 and $13,000. Anything above that starts to put you in the range of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a truly superb timepiece. Depending on the quality of what you intend to buy and the budget you set in place, you can easily narrow your search by picking one of these price points.
 

Pre-owned or New

Buying a pre-owned watch has similarities to buying a used car: it's cost-effective and practical. Still, it's important to consider what the wearer will want in a watch. Depending on his taste, he may prefer a new watch over a vintage or even a collector's watch. Either way, you can't go wrong when it's a luxury brand name.

Age Demographic

Take the age of the recipient into consideration. For example, someone in an older demographic may prefer a classic and more simplistic kind of watch. A younger man on the other hand may prefer something more high-tech with emphasis on utility.
When you narrow down the choices, buying a watch for someone else doesn't have to be so daunting. Check out more tips on how to choose to perfect watch from our Timepiece Perfection Guide.
