Since smartphones became widely available, a lot of people have chosen to stop wearing watches. After all, when you have a portable laptop in your pocket, there’s really no need for a watch. However, there are still a lot of advantages to owning a physical watch. A lot of people are starting to understand these benefits, which is why watch ownership is beginning to rise again.
This post will tell you about some of the advantages of owning a watch, as well as explain to you why a watch is an essential part of any outfit.
Technology
One of the main reasons that people choose to use smartphones instead of traditional watches is because they believe that there are a lot more things that they can do with a smartphone than you can with a laptop. People that believed this would have been right ten years ago, but that’s not the case anymore. Smartwatches are just as useful as smartphones; except they fit comfortably on wearers’ wrists and don’t require as much care and attention. You only have to charge your smartwatch once or twice a week. Some smartwatches don’t even need to be charged, because they are powered by the wearers’ body heat.
One of the best things about smartwatches is that many of them have a SIM card slot, meaning you can insert your SIM and use your smartwatch as a phone. This means that you will still be able to stay connected to your friends, colleagues, and family, but you won’t have a distracting device in your pocket that consumes all of your time. Reducing your smartphone usage can be very good for your health, especially if you use it for hours and hours each day.
Respectability
A person who cares about the time is often perceived as being respectable. This is because when you make an appointment with somebody, being late could interfere with their schedule for the rest of the day. A person who carries a watch around with them clearly likes to be on time and therefore is considered more respectable, because they naturally care about other people’s time, too. If you want to make yourself look more respectable, then a watch is a good way of doing this. It doesn’t matter if it’s a smartwatch or a traditional watch, as long as you have one people will think more highly of you.
Convenience
Watches are a lot more convenient to use than smartphones, mainly because all you have to do is to look down at your wrist. If it’s raining outside or very bright, you may not be able to use your smartphone properly. With a watch, however, there’s really nothing that can prevent you from reading the time, unless it’s very dark. If your watch has a backlight or a torch feature, however, then even total darkness won’t prevent you from telling the time. Phones take a lot more time to take out, unlock, read, and put away, making watches a superior option.
Distractions
A lot of people find that carrying smartphones around with them can be very distracting. The reason for this is that smartphones allow people to access an almost infinite amount of data, whenever they want. Carrying a watch around instead of a smartphone will allow you to reduce the amount of time that you spend using your phone. It’s undeniable that phones are a fundamental part of society today, so you will probably need to invest in a smaller, non-internet-connected phone to replace your smartphone.
Confidence
A good watch, as with any accessory, can you make you feel a lot more confident. Greater confidence could improve your performance socially and at work. If you are a person who lacks confidence, then a watch, as well as confidence classes, are definitely things worth considering. Confidence classes are private sessions, where you work with a coach who helps you to build your confidence. In addition to one-to-one classes, you can also attend seminars and motivational lectures.
A lot of people’s lack of confidence is rooted in anxiety. If yours is too, then you should try to address your anxiety before you begin buying items of clothing or attending seminars.
Style
Fashion has never been more important. People regularly post photographs of themselves on social media, showcasing their style, outfits, and wealth. If you are a person who is interested in fashion and who regularly posts on social media, then the right watch can definitely make you look better in the eyes of your followers. It’s worth noting that more expensive watches are a lot more fashionable on social media than basic ones are. Rolex, Cartier, and Patek Phillipe are all brands to consider. You can buy watches from these brands second-hand and refurbished for less than their market prices.
Accessorize
Again, if you are concerned with fashion, then you need to accessorize. People who don’t accessorize really aren’t making the most out of their outfits. A lot of people who are new to fashion completely overlook accessories. If you are going to buy a watch and use it to compliment your outfits, then you need to make sure that you color coordinate. You can buy custom watch straps, which you can then attach to your watch depending on the outfit that you are wearing. Most smartwatches can have their strap adjusted and replaced, meaning that even they can be used to improve an outfit.
Timekeeping
Good timekeeping is essential. As mentioned earlier, people who are on time are perceived as being more respectable and honest. If you want to improve your reputation, then buying a watch and using it to make sure that you are always on time is something that’s definitely worth considering. You always need to make sure that when you have an appointment, you are there on time. Failing to be on time can make you look careless, lazy, and inconsiderate. These are all traits that, if displayed, can damage your reputation.
A watch can make you look and feel better. If you care about your image and reputation, then you need to get one. You only need to buy an expensive watch if you are interested in fashion. If you want one for practicality, then a simple, traditional watch can work. It’s worth noting that smartwatches are extremely fashionable and also very practical, making them a perfect choice whatever your interests or needs are.
