Tips for buying a watch
• Collecting watches can be addicting. It’s important to be very meticulous in choosing the timepiece that you will purchase.
• Some things to consider are the product’s durability, purpose, special features and aesthetics. Always read the specs and ask yourself if you can wear that watch at least once in a while.
• Consider the price per wear of the timepiece, which you can find out by dividing the price of the watch by the number of days you plan to wear it. You surely don’t want them to just accumulate dust at home.
• Lastly, buy models that offer a warranty in case you encounter problems with its functionality. Regardless of the brand, get the items you think are worth your money. It’s hard-earned money you’re spending after all.
