How To Choose The Right Minimalist Wrist Watch For You

By Beryl Dalton


Many people rely on technology such as cellular phones or tablets to tell the time. Because of this, a wristwatch has become more of a fashion piece than a necessity. If you think you may want to wear one but do not want one that sticks out, a minimalist wrist watch may be just your thing. Here is how to choose the right one for you.

Watches have been around for hundreds of years. Originally, they were much larger and bulkier as it was hard to make reliable mechanisms that were small enough and light enough that they could be worn on a person's wrist. Over time, it became possible to make time pieces that were smaller and lighter but which could keep time accurately.

If you want to spend your money wisely, the first thing to consider is whether you want to buy one that is digital or analog. For many people, a digital watch can be a good choice. This is because modern, minimalist versions can now communicate with cell phones or other devices and can record a range of different data. If you think an analog version can just record time, you are mistaken. Many analog wearers love the fact that they can tell the date and phase of the moon. They can also use their watch as a stopwatch.

The next is to consider how minimalist you want your timepiece to be. Most pieces that are made in this style have very simple faces. They may lack numbers or only have one. Some will have marks that indicate the different numbers while others rely on you to judge what the time would be from the relative position of the hands.

You may think that a style with no numbers will look great but you may want to think about how easy it will be to tell time at a glance. It might be helpful to at least choose a piece that has lines at four points on the face so that you can tell time quickly and accurately.

The way the piece looks and feels will be influenced by the size and shape of the face. Fashion trends move between very small faces and very large ones. Just remember that watches for men are usually designed to be heavier and larger than ones for women. This may help you narrow down your options.

You might also want to think about the material that is used for the band and the face. A more minimalist look may mean that the watch is all one color. You can find bands that are made of metal while others are leather or synthetic materials. Often, you can swap out the band to match outfits and to give variety without buying multiple watches.

You may want to consider checking stores and websites to find your preferred piece. You may want to try on options to see which feels best. Websites are great to get an idea of price before you shop. That way you will know when you have the best deal possible.
