Time is the most valuable commodity you have. Once your time is gone you will never get it back. A good watch, although certainly part of your stylish attire, is also a very powerful symbol of empowerment and prosperity.
One thing is for sure, wearing a nice watch is a must for a man when you decide to up your game and dress the part. There are many nice watches for men you can get without breaking the bank. That is why I have been spending some time on trying to decide which new watch I should get at the best possible price.
Paul Kyriazi teaches in his book How to Live the James Bond Lifestyle about the power of the wrist watch. He tells the story of one of his first serious watches and how it had a retail value of $1700 which at that time was a lot of money for him. He describes in his book how he lived in Japan at the time where Haagen-Dazs ice cream was very expensive. Paul used to enjoy his Häagen-Dazs ice cream every day and at $10 per day he figured if he skipped the ice cream he could have his new watch paid for in less than six months. Not to mention a slimmer waist line. he set out on his goal and certainly reached it.
My first wrist watch was purchased in Zurich, Switzerland. I was on a mission there and had a little free time. I decided to play tourist for my leisure time and bought a few things to remind me of my first trip to Switzerland. I purchased some fine chocolates, went to the bank to open a Swiss bank account, found a toy store to buy the Swiss version of Monopoly and invested in my first Tag Heuer watch. It was the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Series 1. The watch series was discontinued in 2000.
Although Tag Heuer still holds a special spot in my heart (and on my wrist) and I will certainly be investing in the new series TAG Heuer Men’s Formula 1 Chronograph Watch in the near future, I also am planning for the day to get one of the watches James Bond has worn.
So the question is – Shall I go for the Rolex Submariner
or Omega Seamaster which has been the watch for James Bond since GoldenEye?
Cast your vote in the comments and let us know what kind of watch you wear as well as what your next watch purchase will be.
PS- Check out this watch by Fossil:
I love watches. Sadly less people are using them because they rely on smartphones. Personally I prefer a wristwatch. It’s so much easier to glance at my watch than it is to fish the smartphone out of my pocket, and to activate it so it displays the phone.
As to my favourite, I reckon I’d go for the Omega Seamaster.

Thank you for your vote Peter.
I am going to an event late tonight, (The American Ninja Finals) where they are not allowing phones inside the arena so I will have to wear a watch.

You have to be joking? You mean you don’t normally wear a watch? I feel naked without it. When I’m in a group and someone asks what time it is I’m the first one with the answer. I have it out before they can even fish their phone out of their pocket or handbag. Especially the handbag because women have so much junk in them 😀
Peter recently posted…Golf Joke Of The Week
I have the body structure of a Formula 1 race car driver. I just measured my wrist and they come in at 15.5cm (6 in.) so if I wear a watch it must have a small face. A ‘normal’ size man’s watch looks SUPER big on me.
I do want to start wearing a watch more often though as, like you said, it is convenient.
Troy recently posted…Learn a new skill
So what you need is a smaller watch. I’m sure there are some around as you can’t be the only guy with that problem.
Peter recently posted…How Much To Bet On A Sports Bet
Hands down, I have to say the Lime-green Tag! Simply beautiful! I’m still saving up for my very first one! Hope it’s still treating you well!
Shak, the watch guy.
Thanks Shak. Yep, I still love it. Nice watch.
Thanks for visiting and for your comment. It was right on time.
Troy S. recently posted…Resumes are useless these days
Although I wear a Casio, I think you should go for the Omega Seamaster! I just love that watch ever since I first saw it in the movie “GoldenEye”. I’m planning to gift myself that watch very soon. 🙂 Just go for it!
Alex recently posted…Top 10 Men’s Watch Brands!
I do like the Seamaster. That is a good choice. Thanks for your input.
Troy S. recently posted…Interesting stuff people buy on Amazon part 5
Omega Seamaster is my choice my friend. It looks elegant. Many people now use smartphone as clock, its actually right thing cause we live in a modern technology now. But I still love watch, its just not a clock, its an art of mechanic, design and hand – making!

Thank you for your vote Alex. You are very correct. Most people just use their smartphone, their iPhone or Android device to tell the time these days. You are also correct in that it can be simply elegant.
Thanks for visiting and for leaving your comment.
Troy S. recently posted…Breasts are my kryptonite
My choice is always would be Rolex and my dream is to purchase an expensive one from Rolex so I would like to put Rolex in my wish list for next purchase.
Another vote for Rolex. Thanks Kevin.
Troy S. recently posted…What is a real woman?
without a watch on my wrist it feels wrong! I know kids tell the time with their phones these days, but a good watch says something about your character. (or not!) At least I think so.
joey recently posted…24 hour single hand watch by Slow watches
For sure I can agree with you that having a nice watch on your wrist says something about your character, especially if you are trying to live the James Bond lifestyle. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and chiming in Joey.

I’d go with the Submariner, although the Seamaster is a great watch too. The sub was one of my first watches, still love the black dial and bezel as an everyday wear!
Oh? So you had a Submariner? Nice! Ok, taken from a man who knows. Another point for the Submariner. Thanks Sergio.
Troy recently posted…#826 A slow cooker – the best kitchen appliance ever!
Nice collection of watches! I always thought the Rolex Daytona was the one thing to have. The Rolex Submariner starts at about 5150€ by the way which is no less than about $5500.

Hey Troy..
Nice watches dear…
I am also a watch lover and always used to wear watch either I am going to office or going out with my family or friends. I have a good collection of watches. I generally prefer to buy water proof watches because I usually forget to remove it when I go for swimming. Specially, I like to wear watches when I get ready for office because I think it is a symbol of professionalism.
A symbol of professionalism. Yes indeed. Good point.
Funny though how less and less people seem to be wearing watching so this point you make will perhaps help you stand out in the crowd.
Good job.

Personally I prefer more expensive watches but obviously they are hard to purchase when the wallet doesn’t go as deep 😀

Cool article btw!
Eric Hasten recently posted…10 Best Necklaces 2016
“when the wallet doesn’t go as deep”. That often seems to be the issue. I wonder though if it is ‘healthy’ to compare ourselves to others. “Johhny wears the newest Rolex. How come I can not afford that?” Maybe then the best ‘Timex’ or whatever is a good start? Make a dream sheet. Post pictures on your wall or mirror of the Rolex or Tag Hauer you want and think about only that.
Anyway, thanks Eric. I will go check out your review and site now.

I agree, smartphones have made watches more of a fashion accessory than a useful tool. However that might change with the new smart watches that have been coming out. Im thinking about starting my own watch company after reading this guide howdoistartit.com/start-watch-company/ I think part of living the james bond lifestyle is having cool gadgets not just looking good so Im going to make a smart watch that has cool features.
So…many of the people I have talked to did not like their Apple smart watch. I hope you come up with ideas…and gadgets… to improve it.
Thank you for reading and for your awesome comment. Best of luck to you friend.

The Rolex Submariner is definitely the classiest of them all.
Yes the Rolex Submariner is a great timepiece and it’s expensive also, there is the Invicta Pro Diver that is a copy of it and which you can get for a lot less.
Not a bad idea.

I have my own post about watches, if you are interested then you can check out, Click Here
I own a number of Omega watches, my favourite being a Speedmaster, which was a gift on my 18th Birthday. I was born the day they set off for the moon, so my Dad thought that an appropriate gift.
The website about “A nice watch can keep you right on time” is really significant to all of us. All the watches here are fantastic to look at. If you add some GPS watches for watching time and fitness tracking as well, it will be more helpful to all of us. Keep up the good posting, dear! Thanks.
Nice information but in today’s world, everyone is using a smartwatch. Which comes with a large LCD display.
Hey, that was a good post on the expensive watches.
This was nice watch

Well I think Omega Seamaster Diver 300m offers value for money. I love its look though submariner reflects heritage, history and the legacy. The watches in the websites are really helpful especially those who wants to try out variety of watches. Thanks for all the informations.
this is really stylish
You are giving a valuable information regarding watches. Some people wear watches for the sake of a rich look or some wear watches as sports watches. Men watches have a variety that make a man a very good personality. Some people have a bright look for their watches. Blogger have researched a unique style of wearing the watches and watches style.
