If diamonds were a woman's best friend, then a watch is the single most important accessory a man can own--it is an essential style element. if you wanted a classic, like the stylish Ulysse Nardin, then the three month's salary rule came into play. Most of the rest had all the elegance of a Timex. But as the century turned, a fashion miracle occurred; mainstream designers, from Hugo Boss, to Fossil and Guess, revolutionized wrist watches by making whole lines of handsome designs, with open faces, elegant numerals and stately bands. Kenneth Cole too has an excellent set of time pieces, and all of these lines run around one hundred dollars.
Just remember how women take measure of a man; from his shoes to his watch, shoes/watch, shoes/watch. So think about life on the run like you would service in a restaurant; you won't get any if you are not wearing shoes. By putting a watch back on your wrist, you might not feel so naked, or lonely, out there.
