| The first thing to consider when buying a watch is, what is its purpose? Will you use it to time your lap speed, your flying speed, or your lunch hour? The wide availability of watch styles and features allows you to pick the watch that fits your needs, style, and taste perfectly. |
This list below will help you choose the right features for your purposes: |
 |
Look for screw-down crowns and casebacks and extreme water resistance. Also, a unidirectional bezel helps you keep an eye on how long you've been underwater. View our Seiko and Chase-Durer watches for men featuring screw-down casebacks and crowns, and water resistance to at least 330 feet or deeper. |
 |
Whether you're in a car, a plane, on a bicycle, or on foot, these watches will help you measure your time. To find your miles per hour, rotate the tachymeter to target your exact speed, then set the elapsed timer to pinpoint the distance you covered. Some watches even store lap times and split times. View our men's racing watches by Festina, the official racing watch of the Tour de France, and our Chase-Durer watches for men, built specifically for racing and flying with navigational slide rule bezels and tachymeters that help you measure speed over time |
 |
For watches with cutting edge style, look for features like unique case shapes, face colors, and band materials. You're guaranteed to find these features if you look to established fashion brands, like Calvin Klein for men and women and Kenneth Cole for men and women. |
 |
Look for casual features that ensure you can keep your mind on taking it easy. Choose a watch with a comfortable canvas band and higher water resistance so you don't have to worry about your watch when you're reaching in the cooler for a drink or slipping in for a swim. View our casual Tommy Bahama watches for men and women. |
 |
If you want a watch that will help keep you punctual, look for a watch with a second hand and clear markers. You can even find watches with easy-to-set timers that can remind you when you need to move on to the next meeting. For watches with alarms and clear markers, view our Seiko Kinetic watches for men, that are powered by the motion of your own wrist, or our Citizen Eco-Drive watches for men or women that are powered by light. |
 |
For a more formal look, choose a watch that matches your attire. A stainless steel bracelet band and a black face perfectly match a black sweater and gray pants. Or if you wear a leather belt, choose a watch with a matching black or brown leather band. Michele and Bulova watches for women feature luxury touches like diamond and gemstone bezels, and Skagen offers watches for men and women with cutting-edge Scandinavian design. |
 |
For a watch so beautiful it becomes a piece of jewelry, view our watches with diamonds. Diamonds are durable so they create a timepiece that's as useful as it is beautiful. You'll find watches with diamond hour markers, diamond bezels, or diamond cases in our women's Michele, Citizen, Bulova, Calvin Klein, and Seiko collections. |
 |
If you're looking for one watch that will keep excellent time and remain in style for years to come, look for one that is powered by light or the movement of your wrist. Because these watches are meant to be worn for decades, they are made in styles that will remain classic for the years to come. Citizen offers luxury timepieces for men or women with Eco-Drive light powered watches that run on a long-lasting rechargeable battery, and Seiko luxury timepieces for men have batteries that are charged with the movement of your own wrist. |
When you receive your watch, if it has a leather band, you'll find that you can most likely tighten it to a perfect fit. If your watch has a stainless steel band, it may not fit perfectly when you first put it on. Check the owner's manual for tips on how to remove links, and if you need to add links, you can contact the watch manufacturer directly to receive additional links. Check the watch brand warranty pages at the bottom of the page for the phone number of your watch manufacturer. |
