I've said it before, a men's watch is the single most important accessory a man can own--it is an essential style element. As you might imagine, I am acutely aware of these kinds of details. I've simply noticed too many casual watches making their way into office, work and formal settings. It screams sloppy. I urge all of you who wear your multi-function sport watches with your suits and other dressier attire to pick up something a little more sophisticated.

First Consider Your Lifestyle. I do suggest having a few different watches for both work and play if your lifestyle merits it or you simply like having several to change out. When buying a dressier watch however, you should choose something that is classic; really lasting. I'm not as concerned about sporty or technical watches since they have a tendency to be less expensive. Such as those made by Nike, Casio and other similar brands. And let me be honest, there's nothing stylish about them anyway - they are about function alone. Now if you have a sporty watch like the Omega Seamaster, that's a different story. Can we say James Bond 007?

And just to clarify, if your watch has a night-vision feature, measures distances, calculates altitude, has a compass, has a rubber strap, and/or has a digital display, it is the absolute wrong wristwatch to wear to a more formal occasion be it the office, a more formal gathering, etc.

Here is a list of things to consider when looking for your watch. A Stainless Steel Bracelet: Stainless steel is more practical than leather and is certainly more durable. It's dressy enough to be worn with a business suit and yet low key enough for other casual events and occasions. Not only is it versatile, but it's even waterproof. You could always go for gold if you wanted to drop some serious cash, but be careful since it might give an unfavorable impression.

The Face: Another thing that gets me when it comes to watches is the size of the watch face relative to the wrist that's wearing it. On bigger men a standard watch face can end up looking like a ladies watch. Watch makers are continually coming out with watches that have larger than standard faces. In fact, it has really become a trend recently. I personally love bigger watch faces. Whether you're a big guy or not, it's really a great look. On another note, when it comes to ladies, Paris Hilton has been spotted wearing an oversize 47MM Jacob & Co. watch, so it's even a great look for women as long as the watch has some pink, yellow, white or diamonds on it.

Water Resistance: It's an awesome feature to have if you shower or swim with your watch on, but let's be honest, who does? I like it though because if you get caught in the rain or your watch gets accidentally wet, you don't have to worry. And by the way, water resistant can mean several things so be sure to ask to what degree the watch really is resistant. Some watches will resist moisture from accidental splashing, rain, sweat, etc. which everyone would agree at least that level of moisture resistance is definitely needed. Others will resist moisture up to certain depths such as 50 or 100 meters which makes it a great choice for divers. An example of this is the Graham Chronofighter Diver watches.

The Color of the Face and Strap: There is a trend to have dials and straps in exciting colors. Take for example the Jacob & Co. brand watches. There is no end to the amount of colors on the face band and casing. When building a classic wardrobe stick to the neutral colors that you know will blend and look appropriate in a business or formal setting. Save the trendy colors for a second or third watch for pleasure events or travel if you must.

Like celebrities? Like name brand luxury watches like Jacob watches? Yea, me too. ... Don't be surprised however when a celebrity chooses to wear iced out diamond replica watches. Even celebrities and sports stars are rockin the fake diamond breitling watches.

Many remember back in 07 when O.J. was ordered to give his rolex watch to the Goldmans and in doing so it was found that he was rockin a fake one. In 2007 A Santa Monica judge ordered the former football star to turn over his gold Rolex Submariner watch -- estimated to be worth $12,000 to $22,000 -- to the family. But the Hall of Fame running back hit them with a fake, literally, when it was discovered that the luxury timepiece was a knockoff made in China, worth about $125.

"It was made by the finest craftsmen in China," said David Cook, "It's a people's Rolex." the Goldman family attorney who plans to return the watch to Simpson. But where he will go to return it is a mystery, will he visit o. j. in jail? After all, the Juice is no longer loose. Humorous as this is, many celebrities do purchase and wear knock off replica watches.

Replica watches can make celebrities appear classy and professional and yet you do not have to spend the thousands of dollars that the original watches cost. There is no reason that these watches should be limited to celebrities. Average Joes can and should wear replica watches. After all, everyone is equal and no one is better than anyone else in this world. So if you've got your eye on that $30,000 luxury wristwatch and think you can't afford it, you may want to reconsider. It can be possible when you opt for a replica. Many of our clients purchase replica watches because of their ability to be able test so many different brands until they are able to find the watch they can't live without. When they've found it, they purchase a genuine one. This gives the buyer more of an advantage to be able to "test drive" so many watches at the same time. Therefore if you want to add a touch of class to your accessory go for replicas.

The watches we deliver are made in the precise specifications as the original designs including the weight markings and dimensions and even quality of the timekeeping of the watches. The replica watches look identical to the original. In most cases you will not be able to distinguish between the two.
