Deciding on the right watch...

These days a watch isn't just a a way to tell time and be punctual. A watch is a reflection of style and personality, similar to the car you drive and the clothes you wear.

A few things to take into consideration when deciding which watch to buy are, what will you be using it for and what your budget is. I've basically put watches into 5 main categories of style.

Casual Watches: These are for your everyday wear. When picking this style think about what colours you wear the most. Consider a comfortable band such as leather or maybe rubber for light weight. Make sure it is easy to read and should have a date window displayed as well.

Dress Watches: Personally I like a dress watch to stand out, so I like them a little bigger then normal, and accented with diamonds around the bezel to help (this is not usually for everyday use). A rose gold or white gold look are my ideal colours.

Sport Watches: When you need a watch for function such as stop watches, alarms, and timers you'd probably want to consider a digital watch with water resistance, or if analog is the look you want make sure it has a rotating bezel timer to suit your needs and a steel or rubber band for water resistance as well.

Fashion Watches: When it comes to fashion watches all rules go out the window. Even though you can't really just wear any clothes you want to these days (even though some do) when it comes to your watch put on what ever you want, maybe a chunky watch, one incorporated into a bracelet or some neon colours. The choice us yours.

Luxury Watches: These are the finest hand crafted money can buy. Not for people on a small budget, but for those who want the finer things in life. These watches are usually hand made master pieces with precision timing, produced in smaller numbers and thousands of dollars. There are many companies making luxury watches but the Swiss are definitely world renown for their designs.

Apples latest invention the iwatch

With so much speculation, anticipation and excitement for Apple's latest invention, the "iwatch" a rumour frenzy has started all over the web. All though Apple has not released much information on the subject, they have taken out many different new patents for jewelerry and watches in different countries across the world. One of them including and elastic type wristband which supposedly will snap to fit the wrist. With Apple releasing such little information on its design many ideas of what it will look like have surfaced including these:

But these are only ideas of what might be to come. Apple has said that they want to release it by the end of this year, but we will only see. Now with the iPhone falling behind in the smart phone race, hopefully they can actually revolutionize the wrist watch, but in my opinion without the innovative and creative ideas of Steve Jobs I think it's going to be quite a challenge.

A class above the rest...

There are many companies and brands these days, but few are viewed with such prestige and class, one that has stood the test of time, immitators and ridicule. When you ask someone to name five brands of watches I can guarantee that it will be one of them. Your probably thinking it right now.  Of course I am talking about Rolex watches. This Swiss company has proven itself time and time again, with the detailed  precision and time put into everyone. There is a certain feeling one has when putting on any of their exquisite time pieces.

A Rolex is more then just a watch , it's a goal, a desire, something you work towards sometimes your whole life. To own one is the feeling of accomplishment and a chance to finally say , I guess I made it.

A new way of life..

It's a different day and age, one where modern technology is moving faster then I think we can keep up. Arcades have been long replaced by home gaming systems, video rental stores have been replaced by netflix, and the wrist watch is losing ground to the mobile phone. I've personally always loved the class and style one can show simply by the watch worn. There are so many styles to choose from, from the sophistication and class of a rolex to the digital sports watch to improve athletes performance. I decided to share my love of watches with the world. I've always believed in being able to provide a watch lovers style for the most affordable price. I've made a place where all the top brands and trusted makers could be available for everyone, and geared to any budget.
