Watches - The Best Way To Accessorize

Bracelets and bangles bring out the feminine side of you

, but even better is something like a wrist watch. Being practical as well as cool, there is no doubt that people who wear tasteful watches are considered smart and urbane. Wearing a watch is not just so that one will be able to tell the time with the ubiquitous cell phones and hundreds of other gadgets leaping at us from every corner, one hardly needs a wrist watch to tell the time. And yet, this trend is not likely to drown out, given how much appeal chronometers have.

First of all, both men and women can wear watches, although the designs and other parameters for their watches are different. And knowing that some prefer watches that mimic the appeal of bangles and bracelets, many watch manufacturers add a small dial to a bracelet which can double up as both a watch and a fashion accessory. Dials and watch straps are inventively designed, keeping in mind the current fashion trends. Gemstones are used to indicate the digits on the dial and the circumference is studded with diamonds. Such designs can make the watch rather heavy, but they also satiate the greed for the yellow metal and gemstones in a tasteful fashion. For the classy lovers of leather, there are watch straps made of pure leather cut away and trimmed to make a svelte design that fits well and lasts for a lifetime. The quality of leather is as good as the amount one is ready to pay for.

For those who are in favor of preventing cruelty to animals, there are ways in which they can still enjoy the look and feel of leather through faux-leather watches. The dial is fitted with this versatile material which also lasts very well and has the same authentic feel of real leather. But being made of synthetic materials, one can rest assured that it has not come at the cost of an animals hide.

Wearing a watch as a fashion statement is more of an in-thing now, than as a means for telling time. There are people who work nights or on rotational shifts, and depend completely on their computers as they negotiate different time zones. It is the same with busy executive who fly to different countries through the day and night. They would hardly use a watch for local time, but would still wear one as a symbol of status and style. Indeed, as such, wearing a watch has become highly important and this is because watches are smart and at the same time, versatile. They can be coordinated with the color of the belt and shoes or can be worn to match the other pieces of jewelry such as ear studs, ring and necklace, in the case of women.

It is not just working women who wear watches. Home makers and celebrities also wear watches as part of their outfit, coordinated with their purse or clutch. For such utilities, watches are now made in the form of bracelets and tennis bracelets. They are studded either with real gemstones and crystals or Swarovski crystals and faux-pearls, depending on the taste of the woman. A look at the whos who is in the fashion industry and among the super models of today would reveal how much of an appeal watches have, as they figure in whatever look they want to carry off.

In the cool candor of the corporate world, wearing watches figures again, this time as a symbol of power. Men and women wear watches in understated tones. Metallic gleams rarely make appearances here and the leanings are towards the subtle and elegant. Dull finishes and matte are preferred and if one wears leather or faux leather, the colors preferred are beige, buff, fawn, grey or the everlasting black. Analog and digital watches vary in the way they present time and there are several other features available in todays watches, right from telling the time of day, weather forecasts, calendar to the more esoteric purposes such as phases of the moon. Glow dials enable the wearer to see the dial in the dark and there many other features like alarms, stopwatches and timers for those who prefer them.
