My Favorite Watches For Every Budget
Selecting the right timepiece can be downright daunting. Where do you start? I have always worn watches and they are my favorite accessory to add to my outfits. For me, the perfect watch is versatile and functional, so that I can match it with my different jewelry. It has to be stylish but it also needs to be the right balance. It’s a mix of the classic look that never goes out of style, with the addition of something really refreshing, something new and sweet!
Before I get into my favorites at different price points, there are a few rules I tend to stick with when shopping for my next watch. The first rule is to know your budget. There are great options out there regardless of what you can afford. Just because a particular watch has a huge price tag, doesn’t always mean it’s better quality than one that might cost less. Do your due diligence. Check out pictures on social media with others wearing the timepiece and see for yourself how it looks in real life. There also some tips I shared a while back on buying designer purses that could be applied here as well. Here are a few favorites from my watch collection at varying price levels.
