What are the different types and categories of watches? There are a few that all have a unique design and look. They include the dress watch, the casual watch, the professional watch, the sports watch, and the luxury watch. We'll review them right now.
The Casual Watch: The casual watch is the everyday watch you wear when you're not at formal meetings all day. You can wear this for almost any normal occasion, like shopping, running errands, and even for work. Usually a casual watch has a band that isn't steel/metal. Dials can be almost any color but I think black, blue, or gray is most appropriate. In essence a casual watch should be a hybrid of a sports watch and a dress watch. Nothing too fancy with the right amount of fashion and carefree personality.
The Dress Watch: The dress watch is for more formal settings, such as a night out or cocktail parties. Usually they are slimmer than your average watch and has a low-profile look. Straps are usually black or brown leather or synthetic material which gives it that sleek appearance and matches well with a well tailored suit. Dress watches aren't worn everyday, usually on the weekends or on special occasions.
The Professional Watch: Moving on to the professional watch, this kind of watch is for formal work settings. Professional watches should look similar in appearance to dress watches although the dials and case are usually larger than the dress watch. The band is usually leather or synthetic material although steel bracelets are used too but usually detailed leather straps are best for giving you the professional look. They should almost always be worn with a suit. I personally think professional watches look great when they have large crowns and chronograph buttons.
The Sports Watch: The sports watch. Ah, the sports watch. These watches support those with a more active lifestyle, such as runners, athletes, race car drivers, divers, hikers, and those that just like to get down to the nitty gritty of life. Sports watches promote a more exciting lifestyle and usually come with shock resistance and water resistance. Sports watches usually have a rubber or synthetic strap that is able to handle your training and adventures. They usually also come with features that are useful for different kinds of activities. There are some watches that track the distance you've traveled and others even have GPS!
The Luxury Watch: The luxury watches are usually the watches you picture rich people with dry martinis wearing. Switzerland is the biggest producers of luxury watches which is why you always hear how Swiss watches are the best. They almost always come with a steel or metal bracelet and is more refined the more expensive it is. Brands like Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Audemars Piguet, IWC, JLC, and Hublot are all examples of luxury watches. I'm sure you already know what a luxury watch is so we'll end it there.
