Wrist Watches for Men - How to Buy Your Guy a Watch He'll Love - Tips from Princeton Watches

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 10, 2007 -- A wrist watch is a great gift for the men in your life, whether you need a gift for a boyfriend or husband, dad or son. But how do you bridge the gender gap and buy a watch he'll appreciate for years to come? Here's how to pick a watch for him that fits his lifestyle so well that he'll think you spent hours selecting his gift. The folks at Princeton Watches (http://www.princetonwatches.com) have put together tips to get you started.

"In ten years selling online, we've found that customers buying a watch as a gift for a man often don't know how to get started, and we've helped a lot of customers get started selecting a watch. " said Steven Sagri, President of Princeton Watches. To find the perfect watch for a guy, start by thinking about his lifestyle and interests, Sagri recommends.:

Is he into active sports?

Many watches these days have cool features that provide sport-specific information for sports enthusiasts.

If he's a runner or fitness buff, training watches provide lap times, heart rate and some even calculate calories burned. The Suunto Training Series provides detailed information for runners, cyclists and other fitness buffs in a variety of detail and a variety of price ranges.

If he likes to hike or climb, there are watches that include compasses, altimeters and barometers and are rugged and water-resistant, just what he'll need to navigate in the outdoors. Suunto and Casio brands are some you might want to look at with these features, Sagri recommends.

Diving watches are rugged watches tested by their manufacturer to withstand immersion in water down to 200 meters, (about 330 feet) and are also designed to time a dive, most often with a rotating elapsed time bezel. Many dive watches also have digital displays that monitor dive time based on depth and can log dives in memory for recording in his dive log later. The most popular dive watches (http://www.princetonwatches.com/shop/divewatches.asp) at Princeton Watches include Seiko, Citizen, Swiss Army and Hamilton Dive Watches.

Other watch buying recommendations from Sagri include considering the following:

Is he a watch aficionado or collector?

If your guy is a watch collector, he may prefer a fine watch with precision Swiss mechanical movements. The prices are higher (but if it's in your budget, isn't he worth it?) Collectors appreciate watches like Chronoswiss, and Bell & Ross. Prices on these watches start at around $1500 and go up from there. Fine detailing, and finely designed and constructed Swiss mechanical movements are the hallmarks of watches like these, and account for the higher prices.

What is his occupation?

If your guy is a heavy traveler or has business interests (or family) in different time zones, he may appreciate a watch that keeps track of time in two or more time zones. That way, he knows local time and the time back home, whether he wants to call you, or just check in with the office. Watches that keep track of time zones include GMT models with an extra hand for a 2nd time zone and analog/digital world time watches with a variety of time zones programmed in, made by Casio, Citizen, Seiko Watches and others available at Princeton Watches.

What does he wear to work?

If he tends to wear a suit, he may prefer a thinner, dressier men's watch that will fit well under a dress shirt, like a Citizen Stiletto Of course, even executive type "A" guys need to kick back and relax and a sportier model may be perfect for downtime evenings and weekends.

These days, many guys consider their watches wardrobe accessories and tech gadgets, and have more than one. In fact, many men have quite a collection, so don't obsess with finding the perfect watch that he can wear day in and day out and for all occasions. After all, you can buy him another one for the next gift so he'll have a choice when he puts his watch on in the morning.

He shouts out a few high-pitched yelps, and then goes into a loop of shouting "Uppie! Uppie!" and yelping again. Wacky lights and sounds on the walker go off as the baby presses colorful buttons on its "control panel." And the tap tap of his feet continue as he continues sprinting awkwardly along the kitchen floor. Then, the baby's destination becomes clear: the stairway at the far left corner of the kitchen!
