Now, since I promised you a part 2 way more interesting than part 1. I got an additional contributor to this article- Geshan Wimaladharma. He is attached to one of the leading watch stores in Srilanka; Wimaladarma & Sons.The interesting part about this is that I got to know him due to my weekly visits to one of the stores so I could enjoy glancing through new arrivals. I have bought multiple watches from this store and restored my late grandfather’s watch too.

Here are some more insights especially for you!

Impress yourself

An interesting insight Geshan shared with me was that he’d select a watch not by looking at the brand, but by how unique it is in its styling. Now for those of you who think, “bigger the brand, the better it is”, if you personally don’t like how the watch looks or the general designs offered by the brand you deem “the best”, then we suggest that it is not the watch you should buy.
Remember that you need to feel satisfied with your purchase. The goal is to impress yourself and not others. Once you get into this mindset you will be positioned to make a rational choice within your budget which will ultimately make YOU happier in the long run.  Another insight is that, you should focus on obtaining the most functional watch (s) considering your profession and other interests. For example, you may be an outdoor person engaging in a lot of physically challenging activities, or you may spend most of your time in the boardroom or both or any other combination of activities! So it is important to select a masterpiece that suits your activities. You really don’t want to wear a luxury designer watch when you go hiking right? It would be a safer bet to use a sports watch with a rubber strap and a timer (even a basic digital watch). If you’re running also you might want to consider a watch that is functional and helps synch your health-related data to an external app to make the most of your investment and efforts!
