Classic men’s wristwatches

Watches come in different styles and sizes and can be worn as functional accessories or a stylish piece of jewellery.

An everyday watch means it is comfortable, while formal watches are often expensive but should ideally meet certain style requirement

. Your everyday watch should be neutral and durable and worn mostly to work or when you are just relaxing. Stainless steel is a popular choice as this makes for both neutral and sturdy watches.

Your formal watch should be from a precious metal such as silver, gold or platinum.

Its diameter should not exceed 1.6 inches (41mm) which should feature an analogue display and look discreet.

Your formal watch should be made of the same metal as the rest of your jewellery, like wearing a gold cufflinks and a gold wristwatch.

Wear your formal watch to events like weddings, christening, funerals opera and theatre performances.

Choose a watch with a thin black or brown leather band for semi-formal wear such as blazer or suit.

Try to match your watch strap to your shoe and belt, this makes your entire look more coordinated and sophisticated.

Learn to wear a sport watch which is conveniently meant to provide some special use during an activity or event. It can be a diving watch, racing watch or all-purpose watch.

A man should never wear his wristwatch loose around his wrist; it should fit perfectly without being too tight.
