How to Choose Your First Watch

How to Choose Your First Watch

A first watch should fit your day, not someone else's. Start with how you live — desk, outdoors, dressy evenings — and the right movement and strap follow naturally.

Movement: automatic vs quartz

Automatic watches wind from the motion of your wrist and reward a little attention. Quartz watches are accurate, low-maintenance and lighter on the budget.

Match the case to your wrist

  • Slim 6-8 mm cases sit best under a cuff
  • A 38-40 mm dial suits most wrists
  • Steel bracelets dress up, leather dresses down
  • Quick-release straps let one watch do both
