The Only 3 Watches You Really Need In Your Collection
Who says you can’t have as many watches as you want? Of course, you can, but the truth is – you actually need only 3. And today, we’ve mapped out the three essential watches every must MUST have. So sit tight, relax, and read on to know the only three essential watches you really need in your collection.
A Gentleman needs a watch for every occasion. A great percentage of men only own one wristwatch they wear at all times and for every occasion. While I’ve met some men who say, they wouldn’t buy a wristwatch until they can “afford it”, so they move around with their wrist bare.
My response usually would be – “You don’t have to go for a very expensive piece, go for a good quality wristwatch (even if it’s not a Luxury Watch Brand) – just pick a good quality one your finances allow.”
And I can tell you that there are quality watches that are not from popular brands but they serve the purpose – plus they last longer.
I know sometimes we can be indecisive on which watch to go for and some of us would buy any type that we come across as long as the design looks nice.
What happens if it’s a classy and nice-looking Casio G-SHOCK Watch and you buy it. Would it be okay to wear it with your suits, casual wear, and native attires – Your guess is as good as mine, NO!
So, gentlemen, the quickest way to decide on which watch to get is to ask yourself one key question – Would this wristwatch fit every occasion?
Having the right watch for every occasion makes you dress the part wherever life takes you.
How many watches do you think every man should own?
Honestly, as much as you can afford – especially if you are a Watch Aficionado. But realistically, there are only three (3) Essential Watches You Really Need for a start.
Today, I’ve compiled the list of three essential watches you really need in your collection. Go ahead and read to see if you already have a watch that fits your lifestyle and every occasion.
The Only 3 Essential Watches You Really Need In Your Collection
#1. EveryDay Watch
That’s No 1. An everyday watch. A wristwatch that is appropriate for almost any occasion and can be worn at all times. This should be a watch that is very comfortable and can stand the test of time. A Chronograph watch is a type of watch which is very appropriate as your everyday watch.
Also known as a Chrono watch, they can be worn by just anyone for timing your activities such as at the gym when timing your reps or when running and generally when the calculation of time is required, hence the reason why it’s not usually recommended for black tie, white tie, and formal wears. When picking this watch note that:
#2. Outdoor Watch
This is a type of watch you would want to wear outdoors for activities that involve lots of physical movements such as sporting events e.g. underwater diving, racing, and busy sporting moments. This is what a Sports watch or Diver watch was designed for.
Sports watches are usually equipped with large readable dials, compasses, and altimeters and are water-resistant to at least 330ft – which makes them perfect for diving or swimming. They have built-in features like timers (or chronographs if analog). The strap, case, and watch dial are made with protective materials that keep the glass from shattering. When picking an outdoor watch, please take note these few tips:
#3. Dress Watch
Getting dressed up for a formal occasion – a formal wedding, an award night ceremony, evening cocktail party, etc? A dressy watch will set you apart from the crowd.
A dress watch is a simple mechanical watch with either manual or automatic wound and it usually comes in with a leather band. These statement wrist watches are usually a little bit more expensive than the chronograph or dive watch. It is your most prized possession reserved only special occasions.
If you really want to elevate your black-tie look (or formal attire look), you’ll need a classic wristwatch that is simple enough to complement your outfit (rather than overpower it) and thin enough to fit into your jacket sleeve cuff.
When picking out your dress watch, keep in mind the following tips:
FINAL THOUGHT

If you’re just building your watch collection, I’d advise that you get a wristwatch that you can afford. This way, you can understand your preferences, likes, and dislikes before going for a more expensive piece.
After getting these three (3) essential Watches You Really Need, if your bank account allows it, you can splurge on as many as you desire.
