Living Without A Watch

Monday, January 4th, 2010

More and more people are choosing to live without a watch these days, as cell phones become more and more a part of our daily lives.  Instead of looking at their wrists, they’re pulling their phones out of their pockets or purses to glance at the time.  But even with the proliferation of “cell phones as watches”, there are still undeniable benefits to wearing a watch.

First, it’s almost always quicker and easier to glance at your arm than it is to pull out your cell phone.  If it isn’t buried deep within a pocket or a purse, it might be on the counter or couch in another room.  You might forget your cell phone somewhere else, but you’ll never forget your watch (as long as it’s on your wrist!)

Second, a watch is always on, and almost never runs out of batteries.  Cell phones lose their charge, and sometimes you need to turn them on to find the time.  With a watch, the time is always right there when you need it.

And finally, watches can also double as attractive pieces of jewelry.  With so many attractive styles out there, your watch can not only tell you the time, it can also complete your wardrobe.  Try finding a cell phone that does that!

Watch Repair in 10 minutes (let a professional do it)

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

These days it’s much easier to take your watch into a professional and let them do the repair work for you. If you don’t understand the inner workings of a watch, you can often times do more bad then good if you try to repair it on your own.

If it’s something minor, like the hands not keeping the correct time, or something more complex, letting a professional handle it is the way to go.

Total Watch Repair even offers consultation on watch repairs via telephone or email. If it’s something manageable, this is often a great option. You will never be charged for an estimate either. This means there is no risk to bring your watch in and have the problem diagnosed.

Additionally, repair service comes with a one year guarantee that ensures the quality of the work. If you try to repair the watch yourself and something else goes wrong down the line, you’ll be out of luck. But with a professional, you are safe and secure.

Unisex colors for watchbands

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

When selecting the color of your watchband, you want to make sure it’s a very adaptable and versatile color. The most obvious and unassuming colors are brown and black. Black will go with virtually every color. Brown will go well with pretty much any color except black. Try to match a brown band with cooler earth tones like earthy greens, blues, and yellows.

Both men and women can benefit from buying watch bands with traditional colors like black and brown. They are professional and stylish. If you are looking for a band that’s a little bit more unique, you may consider crossing a few boundaries.

Guys: Don’t be afraid to buy a blue or red band. Depending on what you are wearing the watch with, it can be a good idea to contrast the band color with your outfit -as long as it’s done wisely and classy.

Girls: You can wear any color a guy can wear, and more. The options are virtually endless for women. Usually women’s wardrobes are more extensive and therefore having bands that go with any outfit is essential. Don’t be afraid to grab some loud colors like pink and orange, as well as the traditional colors like brown, black and dark blue.

Leather Bands are more comfortable

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

The leather watch band not only looks better, but feels better than the alternatives. Buying a watch is a big purchase, but the band that accompanies is just as important. Most people wear their watches 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Having a band that is comfortable is of the utmost importance.

When selecting a watch, make sure to try it on. Move your wrist around and think about how the watch will feel after wearing it for hours upon hours. You want it to look good, but if it doesn’t feel good, you’ll never want to wear the watch anyway.

Leather is adjustable and reliable. As long as you keep it dry, a quality leather band will wear in nicely, and last for years.

The trend for the holidays this year is to go with thick leather bands. They accompany thick watch faces well, which are also popular this year.

Solar Watches – No More Batteries

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Using natural sources of light to power electronics is becoming more and more popular every day. Most watch batteries last about a year or so and then need to be replaced. Finding the right battery and installing it can be quite a hassle… enter the solar powered watch.

Companies started experimenting with solar powered watches in the 1980s, but now they are a major part of most watch companies. Solar watches work by using a solar panel behind the crystal of the watch to absorb sunlight and some artificial light. The watch is then able to store the energy so it can be powered when not exposed to a light source.

In the long run a solar powered watch will save you lots of time and money. Buying a watch is a long-term investment and most people collect quite a few watches over the years. If you even add just one solar powered watch to your arsenal, you at least always have one watch where the batteries don’t need to be replaced.

Watch me during the holidays

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

A watch is a great holiday gift. Whether you are looking to go inexpensive (link to inexpensivewatches.com) or high end (link to rotarywatches.com), a watch is your answer. A good watch hints of sophistication and class and should be an important part of your New Year’s Eve ensemble this year.

A few tips to buying watches around the holidays.

# 1 – determine your price range – this will start you in the right direction. If you have a few hundred dollars to spend, start looking at retailers who specialize in that market. If you’re looking for something cheaper, fossil.com has great options. For high end watches, Emporio Armani has some great choices.

# 2 – decide if you want to buy analog or digital – analog watches are usually more expensive and traditional, while a digital watch is more functional and has more features

# 3 – find out the person’s wrist size – if you are buying for someone you care about, you want the watch to fit when they pull it out. If for some reason it needs to be adjusted you can always bring it into Total Watch Repair

Moving into the digital watch world

Monday, December 14th, 2009

A display on the digital watch shows the time in numbers, rather than a traditional clock with hands. As technology continues to evolve, so does the digital watch. Digital watches have a lot of great features that traditional analog watches don’t.

Features:

Many of today’s digital watches include time trackers, distance traveled, speed, heart rate, and some are even enabled with GPS. They have the capability to store the information so you can track where you’ve been. This is great for athletes, especially long distance runners or triathletes looking to improve on their times.

Digital watches are also waterproof, which makes them a great everyday watch. You don’t have to worry about taking it off if you go in the shower, or for a swim. It becomes almost a permanent accessory.

For a while digital watches were clunky, cumbersome, and downright ugly. But today’s digital watches are stylish and sleek. They can even be worn with a nice outfit for a nice night out on the town.
