Choose an Automatic Watch If You:

●       High regard for mechanical workmanship

●       Enjoy traditional watchmaking

●       Putting together a watch inventory

●       Want a luxury timepiece with character

Choose a Quartz Watch If You:

●       Low upkeep would be preferred

●       Want exceptional accuracy

●       Need an everyday watch

●       Are buying your first watch

How to Choose the Right Watch Size?

Comfort is just as important as appearance. General recommendations:

●       38–40 mm: Smaller wrists

●       40–42 mm: Most wrist sizes

●       42–44 mm: Larger wrists

●       44 mm and above: Oversized style

Whenever you try your hand on the wristwatch, the straps shouldn't hang over the outer part of the wrist, and the timepiece should appear stable, not slipping all over your normal position.
