In the age of smartphones and smartwatches, why would anyone want to buy some ‘less smartwatch’? Well, because OLD IS GOLD. Just kidding! There are numerous reasons to still buy a traditional wristwatch. For instance, they’re less expensive, you won’t have to worry about the battery for a couple of years at least and it gives you a classy look. Also, they are less delicate than your smartwatches and the shining chromium looks super sexy. I know there are tons of features on smartwatches but you will have to agree that analogue watches has a class that lures.

Here are the 5 things that you should always keep in mind before buying a new watch-

1. Occasion

First thing first, decide on what occasion you want to wear this watch because you wouldn’t want to wear a G-shock to a wedding unless you’re Ranveer Singh and you like to be unconventional. So know where you’ll be wearing it and then narrow down your search for a perfect watch.

2. Strap/Band

After you have decided the occasion you must decide upon the strap or band material. There are various options available but metal and leather are a much better option over a fabric or rubber.

3. Design

The biggest blunders happen in this area. People buy watches which could be perfect but most of the time it does not suit on their hand. It might be because of the shape or size of the dial or the colour. So, it is vital to choose the right design which fits you well.

4. Features

5. Price

The most important aspect among Indians while buying almost anything. You can choose a watch first, keeping in mind all the aspects above and then start your quest for a perfect offer. However, beware of those shady websites who sell fake products at cheaper prices.
