Talking about male wristwatches, first see this “When a guy takes off his coat, he’s not going to fight. When a guy takes off his wristwatch, watch out!”- Al McGuire.
Well that’s on a light note, now more seriously, Men’s watches as we now know them were not very popular until after World War II, when millions of men were issued small wristwatches by their respective armies as a means of coordinating missions and generally keeping them organized. After the war, these men continued to wear their watches — rather than carry them — and the global wristwatch market was born.
Since then, advancements in movements and materials have allowed watchmakers to create fashionable, utilitarian, and elegant timepieces for the various needs (or rather, wants) of men throughout the world. These advancements have also meant that one can buy an excellent Swiss-made watch for under $500, or a limited edition watch that can track several time zones at once with depth ratings of over 1,000 feet. This is an effort to guide you through the immense variety of men’s watches currently on the market.

A finely made watch is perhaps the only fashion accessory a man will ever truly need, and owning a small collection of men’s watches allows you to match your timepiece to your mode of dress, lifestyle and personality — all while still keeping your appointments.

To be rated as water resistant, a watch must remain watertight to 66 feet below the surface. However, this rating is based on daily use and activities such as showering, swimming, and general contact with water — not prolonged diving sessions.
