Historical background
The watch is probably a man’s most popular accessory. It gives an outfit the finishing touches and is considered a status symbol. But one should not ignore the historical background either. Back before the watch was considered an integral part of the fashion scene, it only had a practical use. You always kept an eye on the time and were able to ensure a smooth day without missing anything important. In old films you still get the rare taste of admiring a pocket watch. Nowadays, such a pocket watch is considered antique and stylish, as they are only seen in everyday life in exceptional cases. In the 18th century The watch trend changed – these were now worn with bracelets on the wrist. As with any trend, it took a certain amount of time before the trend became socially acceptable.
In today’s age, the watch has different uses – whether in everyday life, during sports or in the office. The wristwatch has become the most popular accessory for men.
Every man should own at least one to three wristwatches in order to have a suitable one for every occasion. A watch that you want to wear to the office is rather unsuitable for a workout in the gym, for example.
Watches for leisure
It depends on which personal style you prefer. If you own a lot of (hooded) sweaters, you might prefer a sportier watch that can ideally be combined with sports. A clock with a digital display would be recommended here. If you prefer a smart business look, a simple but stylish watch with an analogue display would be recommended. This can then be easily integrated into everyday office life. If you choose a colorful alternative, you should keep in mind that the accessory will not go with every outfit.

Clocks for the office
In order to find the right watch for everyday office life, you should make sure that it does not immediately catch the eye but is rather classic and simple. Flashy and larger-than-average watches have no place in the office and cause envy or catapult you into the number one topic of conversation among your colleagues – in a negative sense, of course. Let’s say: A simple middle class with a metal or leather bracelet is welcome and desired!
Watches for sports
For several years now, the trend has been towards smartwatches. These can be connected to your cell phone via Bluetooth and allow you to get an overview of your health while exercising. In addition to this function, these watches offer many more. For example, the Falster Smartwatch from Skagen also counts steps and, thanks to the touch display, all settings can be adjusted directly. Not only thanks to its minimalist and simple look, it is also ideal for everyday office life and leisure use.
Tips for buying a watch
As described above, before buying a watch you should think about where it will be used. Once you have defined this for yourself, it is still a matter of whether you prefer metal, leather, fabric or plastic bracelets. The different watch brands offer a wide variety of watches. There should be something to suit every taste. If you’re not a fan of buying a watch online, I recommend trying some on in a watch shop and getting advice.
You notice relatively quickly what you like and what suits you. If you’re more of a chic, elegant type, a silver or brown watch will suit you. For sporty people, it’s more like fabric watches.
