Fashion Guide: How To Buy A Watch
GQ.com broke down just how to pick out the perfect watch and classic ones you can never go wrong with!
“I don’t got the bright watch, I got the right watch!”-Jay-Z
1. Complication
Any function of a watch that goes beyond simple timekeeping. Could be an annual or lunar calendar, could be something as basic as a stopwatch.
2. Movement
All those bits and pieces inside that run the thing.
3. Quartz
A movement powered by a battery and regulated by the oscillations of a quartz crystal. It’s way more accurate than other watch types—which isn’t to say we necessarily recommend you buy one.
Some classic watches you can’t go wrong with:
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner
The Omega Speedmaster
The Cartier Santos
