4 Reasons Why A Watch Is Timeless (Even In The Smartphone Era)

In the age of the smartphone, you might wonder why you should casually wear a watch. Well, we’ve got four reasons why this timeless piece isn’t a just thing of the past.

  1. A watch lets you be discreet. It’s not always advisable to whip out your phone. Business meetings, movies, dates—avoid coming off as impatient, disinterested or bored when you catch the time out of the corner of your eye instead of lighting up the whole room with the glow of your phone.
  2. Your watch doesn’t just tell time, it makes a statement about who you are. Are you refined? Do you have a sense of humor? Pick a watch that won’t just complement your closet, but your personality too.
  3. It’s your answer to the rule of three. What the rule of three you might be asking? It is the key to always looking pulled together. The idea is that your outfit will look instantly more stylish if you are wearing three things. One piece is presumably your shirt while the other is your pants and the third piece is an accessory. With few options available when it comes to menswear—specifically on a casual occasion—a watch will fit the bill every time.
  4. Don’t just keep track of time, manage it. Looking at your phone for the time is more likely to distract you than keep you on track. Because can you honestly check the time without checking your email, text messages and Twitter, too?

When it comes to buying a casual watch, the decision is easy—but picking out which one might be hard. Our pro tip: choose one to match your go-to shoes. If you wear sneakers, opt for a rubber banded watch. Boots? A hardy leather band will do. Live in sandals year-round? A wooden watch is for you.

It's time to consider the benefits of a casual watch.
