Guys can wear much fewer accessories than girls. This makes the shopping easier, but at the same time you have to make sure that the item you get will match your style perfectly. And the main male accessory is the wristwatch. You really have to devote special attention to choosing the right model. You should definitely base your choice on the latest trends.

The Type

Most men usually ponder between sports and formal watches. There are super trendy models of both types. You can readily find a sport watch that is eco-friendly and powered by solar light. You can also get one with some Moon or volcano dust. These models are quite hip given their totally unique appeal and manly style. Of course, if you work in an office and have to wear a suit even the trendiest sport watch will not be a right match.

A lot of men want their watch to be totally multifunctional. The reality is that the models with stopwatches and altimeters are not particularly hip right now. These features can be present but they have to be stylized. Generally, the more simplistic models are equally functional for the modern day man, but they are times more elegant.

The Face

You can readily forget about the round watches. The models with rectangular faces are the total hit at present. They are more manly and in many cases more comfortable to wear. At the same time the rectangular shape is an excellent match for any stylish belt and/or cuff links.

The color of the dial can differ depending on the style of the watch. The classic white with black hour and minute indexes is totally stylish, but you should not miss to check out the more artistic models. The tan dials with brown indexes are among the trendiest at present. These are definitely manly and super elegant. The watches with blue tint dials and silver indexes have been in for quite some time now. They are excellent choices as well.

It is essential for the case to be made from a strong, scratch resistant shiny metal. The stainless steel is the perfect choice. But you can also consider the models with chrome cases. These are equally durable and great looking.

The Band

It is important for the watch strap to be sufficiently wide, but not way too much. The models with rectangular faces have bands with widths equal to that of the dials. This creates a totally perfect and elegant overall design. So, you can readily opt for a larger model if you have a bigger wrist without the slightest hesitation.

It is true that the stainless steel bands are more comfy to wear and more durable, but the leather ones have their own uniquely elegant appeal that allows them to go excellently with formal shirt and with causal jeans. If you prefer a metal strap it is best for it to have a bigger weave without any gold of colorful adornments. The color of the leather band has to match the ones of the dial. For instance, the hip models with tan faces have brown straps.
