Watches

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

There are countless options when choosing a watch, and the choices can be overwhelming. Here is a simple guide to the four basic different types of watches that will make it easier to choose the best watch for you.
The first option is a dress watch. The features that distinguish this type of watch are simple straps, gold accents, a plain bezel and a simple dial and watch hands. Dress watches are good for everyday wear if your style is classic and you are looking for a basic, quality watch to keep time and complement your outfit.

The second option is a sports watch. These are characterized by a heavy bezel and a face with lots of markings, big hands and thick straps. They can come in different colors and have leather straps, but are usually silver with bracelet-style straps, although gold can sometimes be found. Sports watches are good if you want a more hip, heavy look that is still classic but bolder than a dress watch.

The third option is a designer watch that is unique and sure to turn heads. This is a good option when you want to stand out and wear a watch that is different and more of a fashion statement than a timekeeper. This Hamilton Ventura’s face is unlike any other and can function as the center of your look.

Finally, you can choose a jewelry watch. These watches, as expected, have lots of jewels and are usually for special occasions. Like designer watches, they are primarily a piece of decoration as opposed to a timekeeper and can be the focus of an outfit.

Whatever your style and need for a watch, there is sure to be a style that fits you!

Watches Versus Cell Phones

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

It’s not surprising that many people opt to use their cell phones to check the time in lieu of wearing a wrist watch. Cell phones have become the next multi-function platform; people can use their cell phones as planners, alarm clocks, and GPS units; cell phones can serve as a web browser, supports webmail, offers weather reports, and newsfeed. So why bother with a wrist watch when everything is conveniently taken care of in one package?

Here are a few reasons:

1. Convenience: Believe it or not, using a wrist watch to check the time is much more convenient than flipping out your cell phone. The simple action of looking at your wrist as opposed to fishing out your cell phone from your cluttered purse or stuffed pockets is substantially easier, especially if you’re in a rush. Plus, it’s substantially more difficult to get your cell phone fixed as opposed to finding a shop that offers say Rolex watch repair.

2. Efficiency: Checking the time on your watch saves you the trouble of locating your cell phone, not to mention mitigating the strong possibility of getting distracted from all of the applications and operations that are available on your cell phone.

3. Style: A wrist watch can be that final touch to your ensemble, that little extra something that could mean the difference between adequate and breathtaking. In the case of most formal functions, cell phones are only taken out to receive calls of import and that Rolex shining on your wrist would be much more appropriate for the occasion.

Getting over the fear of online shopping

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Back when online marketplaces were just getting started, criminals found it relatively easy to steal credit card numbers and make illegal purchases. Because it was so easy to engage in illegal online activity early on, online shopping earned a reputation…a bad reputation. Ever since those early years, many shoppers have been fearful to make online purchases. And with the growing rate of identity theft, shoppers are even more wary.

But there’s some good news: Online shopping is safer than ever before! For several years now, retailers have realized the importance of safeguarding credit card numbers over the internet, and literally billions of dollars have been spent to create systems that keep your information safe online. At this point, it is almost statistically impossible to have your credit card number stolen online if you use any major retailer’s website. With secure sign-ins, firewalls, and encryption, your information has never been safer. So when shopping online from major retailers, breathe easy…you credit card information is safe!

However, and with that being said, you should still be cautious in certain cases. Don’t get suckered in by fake websites; make sure that you’re at a retailer’s actual site, and not a “dummy” site, designed to steal your information. Make sure you’ve typed the address in correctly, don’t follow suspicious links to long-titled sites, even if the site looks official. And never give your information out online to someone who asks you via email or website. Make sure that you’re the one initiating sales, and follow your gut. Happy shopping from Total Watch Repair!
