When it comes to watches, it’s ironic that you can spend thousands on an exquisitely made mechanical watch, and yet it will be less accurate than a five-quid digital bought from a petrol station.

Generally speaking, there are six characteristics one should look for in a great watch brand.
The first is the material used to make the watch. Stainless steel is an ideal choice, especially the affordable characteristic.
Your second consideration is what kind of glass is the face of the watch made of. How strong is it? Is it prone to be scratched or is it durable and scratch resistant? In this instance, sapphire glass shines.
Next is the watch movement. Watch movement is essentially the mechanics behind every watch. When it comes to watch mechanics, quartz is the forerunner.
Now, there is the functionality of the watch. What I mean by this is how you intend to where your watch. Yes, this is a thing. For example, there are those very patient and particular people that remove their watch faithfully before dealing with any water. Painstaking is the only word that comes to mind.
For those practical realist among us, who has that kind of time? Pont intended. Anyway, for us, these type of people, water resistance is the functionality that I am talking about. With this characteristic, time is essentially saved by not having to remove your watch each time you wash your hand, when you take a shower, when you do dishes, and when it rains,.
The next two are watch finish and the brand.
