How to Pick the Right Size For You
A range of wrists and personal styles calls for a range of watch sizes. For slender wrists and formal occasions, smaller watches are perfect, while bigger arms and casual days can suit something larger.
Automatic vs. Quartz
Each has its unique appeal. An automatic watch has a complex network of delicate gears powered by a mainspring (which winds automatically with the movement of your body), while a quartz watch is powered by a battery. Automatic watches require highly specialized skills to produce, and thus are generally more expensive, but quartz watches have the reputation for being both rugged and reliable.
