Summertime is almost here and the beach is calling. But with the heat comes a very big dilemma – how do you find the perfect watches for summer? You need the right kind of materials, colours and styles to get the kind of watch which looks and feels great in the summer heat.
By the end of today’s post you’ll know exactly what you kind of watches you want to be rocking when summertime comes around!
What makes for the Perfect Watches for Summer
When summer comes around you need to get a watch which is befitting of the season as well as the summertime activities you might carry out. While your pristine luxury mechanical watch might look amazing on the wrist, it’s not going to feel that great when you have to worry about damaging if you dive in the pool!
The perfect watches for summer will be a bit more rugged than the watches you might want to wear at other times of the year. You want a watch with a good level of water resistance as well as a watch that can take a few knocks along the way. So whether you fancy going for a dive in the sea or out rock climbing you won’t need to worry about tucking your watch away somewhere to make sure it doesn’t get broken!
It is also important to think about the kind of material straps you need on your wrist. Leather and metal watch straps get incredibly hot. As your forearms are full of nerve endings which are very heat sensitive this can make you feel very uncomfortable. The perfect watches for summer have a strap which ensures air circulates around your wrist to make you feel more comfortable. Rubber straps like those on sports watches are very durable and comfortable. Watches from the Victorinox collection are durable and many come on awesome rubber straps.
NATO straps are another great option which are very light, look good and feel great on your wrist during the summer. As they are cheaper always worthwhile buying a couple of different NATO straps so that you can wear something sensible for work and something less sensible for your night out! Daniel Wellington watches are stylish and come with great NATO straps, brilliant for your wrist.
Finally, colour is important at summertime! Bright and beautiful are always in fashion in summer, so make sure you join in the trend. Your watch also needs to match up to the colourful style you’re rocking for the summer. Sure, all black watches may be popular – but they aren’t going to work with your bright flowery summer dresses or Hawaiian shirts! Smart Turnout wacthes come with awesome NATO straps in all sorts of bright colours, perfect for summer.
Buying the Perfect Watches for Summer
When you’re choosing your summer watch you want to take into account both comfort and style. Make sure you take into account the kind of strap you’re going to wear and the style that suits the summer.
