What should I look for when buying a watch?

Tips for selecting a watch.

The problem with watches is the amount of them out there. You can buy a decent Citizen or Seiko. The problem with most watches that are yellow, their plating wears off in time. They guarantee the plating but its still wears off. Any kind of yellow plated watch, I say don't buy it. I would say buy a stainless watch with maybe some gold in it. If there is some gold in the designs, then it won't wear off. Make sure it is stainless not just a brass watch. If it is a brass watch with chrome plating, the chrome wears down to the brass and will start turning your arm black. I buy an upper end stainless watch that you can buy anywhere from a $100-300, really nice stainless watches. They last really well.


I buy stainless watches for men and women because they last really well and all the internal parts are almost all the same now except for the very expensive ones.
