There are so a great deal of dissimilar types of watches. A brief visit to a few jewelry or watch shops will alert you that this may not be an easy process. There are galore dissimilar brands of watches just as there are dissimilar levels of quality and styles. Even pocket watches are still made with craftsmanship and style. It’s a matter of what style is the most suitable for you. Your style as well as your life style have to guide you in the selection of a watch.

Of course the styles that are on display will be the first, and perchance primary, focus in your choice. The other worries ought to include the place this timepiece will be applied (at work or at the opera) as well as the size of the piece and how it looks on your person. It has to be in proportionality to you and flatter your clothing.

Sometimes watches are actually silly… a 3 carat diamond wristwatch with a face so little it requires a 10x glass to tell the time, but we don’t need a diver’s watch to wear with a tuxedo either. Many persons have at least 2 timepieces, one for each and everyday work and town shopping; another to wear to a dressier occasion.

Most people think only of the jewelry store or the mass selling stores as places to buy a timepiece. But don’t restrict yourself, specially if you are looking for the ‘special’ watch. Go to ageold and thrift shops, visit auction houses and pawn shops. Most humans have two ‘good’ watches that cost over one hundred dollars. Try to find a watch you will love forever. It’s actually more than just something to tell the time!

Some watches have bands that are designed like bracelets and the band that comes with the watch was designed for it. Many watches have disposable bands so you may see the watch on your arm with no distraction, then select a band that fits the watch, pleases your sense of design and fits you as far as size, weight, width and even the type of closure used. Most bands may be adjusted to fit your wrist.

One thing that hasn’t been noted is the decision to go with the traditionalisti analog face display or the innovative digital display. The style of the display is going to be suitable for the size and style of the watch face and blend in with the band.

With all these selections to be made from hundreds in each category, how is it that some, well meaning persons think they may buy a watch for somebody else?

maybe once…
By M. Farrell
When I bought this little kit I was amazed by the price. So many little tools at such a low price is great–unless you can only use them once before your kit has a few broken tools! The only tool in my kit worth owning is probably the hammer; the pin tools for removing band pins are incredibly cheap and slightly oversized for most of the pin holes on my bands. All of my pin tools are now either bent or broken (the blue plastic pin remover is also broken). Unfortunately the list goes on…the knife is very soft metal and burred after a few watches. The screwdrivers are a joke as is the tweezer, the spring bar remover looks like a child ground the ‘U’-end so it doesn’t grab the bar properly. It’s much easier to go to a good hardware store and buy some small drill bits and make your own pin tools—just use hardwood dowels for the handles–and buy some good tweezers, screwdrives, and some new smooth pliers, and you’ll have a far better set of tools than this junk!

Watch tools quality and usability.
By Tera-Ram
These tools look just like the higher quality tools available from various watch manufactures and retailers, but they are not just like the higher quality tools.
Very cheaply made. Barely usable to size a band.
The micro Phillips screwdriver stripped out on the first attempt to use.
One of the pin punches bent double on the first attempt to use it. Lucky there are three of them.
Don’t let the low price fool you, pay the extra $10 for the real professional watch tool set.

Just As Good as Swiss Made
By shutterbug
I had actually only ordered the kit for the plastic watch band link remover. I have a Invicta Diver’s Watch Model #5017 which closely resembles the Rolex model. I really take my time at doing things slowly and correctly. However, it took me less than ten minutes to push out four link pins with the link removal tool. It is that easy. Simply, line up the top of the pins with the pin remover and carefully turn maybe about three revolutions and instantly it comes out. Note that this Invicta watch had pins with fake screw slots on one side which made me even more careful. However, this proved to be for decorative purposes only since the pins themselves resembled tiny cotter pins which is essentially a piece of wire folded in the middle. I even used the knife case opener on my wife’s twenty year old seiko with equal success. Again, this stuff is not Swiss made but in my opinion is a good starter kit which gets the work done correctly. The money I saved can be used for more expensive tools should I decide to choose watch repair as a second career. Also check out the microtools website. You will be amazed with their extensive product line and offerings.
