Every major luxury watch brand has released at least one new watch this year. Many manufacturers have unveiled multiple watches to expand their already popular collections, while others have launched entirely new collections. This guide covers everything from sporty chronographs to elegant timepieces, with a whole host of features and materials to explore. Before we delve into our handpicked watches to invest in now from Romance, let ’s highlight some of the things you should consider before buying a luxury watch for men.
How to choose the best luxury men's watches
Delight is the most important thing to consider when choosing a men’s watch . Ask yourself whether it makes you smile when you look at your wrist. From there, think practically about whether the watch suits you and your lifestyle. If the answer is no, don’t buy it even if it is one of the most luxurious watches in the world. Beyond these initial indicators, here are some other things to consider:
Where will you wear the watch?
There are two main things to consider when buying the best luxury men's watches: style and durability. Different watches are designed for different uses, so the watch you will wear for diving will be more durable and look completely different than the watch you will wear only on special occasions.
Mechanical watches vs battery powered watches
Among watch enthusiasts, mechanical watches, which use traditional watch technology, are more robust. Hand-wound watches need to be wound every day, which requires effort from the wearer, as well as the potential financial investment in winding the watch. The advantage of a battery-powered quartz movement is that the wearer doesn't need to do much other than change the watch battery.

Additional features in the best men's watches
Additional features on a watch are anything other than displaying the time in seconds, minutes, and hours. Generally, additional features are something that is offered to make your life easier, such as a date window, two time zones, moon phases, or a perpetual calendar. When shopping for a watch, make sure you know how to use the watch and that it is not overly complicated. You wouldn’t wear a watch if you didn’t know how to use it.
Box size
To get an idea of which case size will best fit your wrist, try on the watch in person before you buy. Some may seem too bulky, while others may appear diminutive and get lost on your wrist. Watch cases come in a variety of shapes. The most basic are round, oval, square, or rectangular – and are usually listed in millimeters. They typically range from about 19mm to 36mm for women and men’s sizes come in a variety of sizes 34*36*38*40*41, but this is entirely down to personal preference.
Ultimately, however, it’s up to you to decide what you prefer. Watches should be judged by their size, not the gender the watch is marketed to. If you fall in love with a watch that doesn’t have a typical or traditional size, forget whether the label says it’s for men or women. Buy what you like.
Among our collection of the best men's watches at Romance, we recommend the Rolex GMT Batman watch .
bracelet or belt
Straps come in a variety of materials, including leather, metal, fabric, and rubber. There are two basic types of straps or bracelets: those that are attached to the watch case, and those that are interchangeable or replaceable. An integral strap or bracelet cannot be removed and is difficult to repair. On most watches, such as Rolex watches , the strap or bracelet can be removed and replaced. Straps generally range in size from six to eight inches and are usually about half the width of the watch case.

Warranty
Make sure to buy the best high-quality men's watches from an authorized store such as our store Romance, and that they come with a certificate of authenticity and warranty, as we provide a one-year warranty on the machine in our store.
Rarity and resale value
If you’re looking for the best rare men’s watches, there are often waiting lists at authorized dealers, so you may not be able to buy a watch right away. As you might expect, the rarer the watch, the more expensive it will be. If you think you might want to resell your watch someday, ask authorized dealers which brands and models have the best resale value.
Brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe have a good resale value largely because of their high demand. But smaller, independent brands are watchmaking geniuses right next to the bigger companies. Brands like Oris, Zenith, H. Moser, and Armin Strom all have the same quality and craftsmanship, and they also offer interesting features and movements and beautiful dials, like the Rolex Submariner that we recommend from our store.
Are mechanical watches better for men than battery-powered watches?
Both are good options, but they are very different. It’s really a matter of opinion. Quartz or battery-powered watches are more accurate, but you have to change the battery and many people don’t like doing that. People with automatic watches appreciate the mechanisms and how intricate they are built. Mechanical watches are generally much more expensive.
Both manual and automatic watches are mechanical. Manual movements need to be wound daily. Automatic movements are self-winding, so you don’t have to do this because the watch winds itself while you wear it on your wrist. However, if you don’t wear your automatic watch for a few days, it will stop, so you will need to wind it manually. Quartz movements are battery-powered, so they don’t require winding. So it’s all down to personal preference.
What is the clock movement?
The movement is known as the caliber, and it is the actual internal mechanism of the watch that is located inside the watch case. The term came about because when mechanical watches were first developed, watch movements were made of lots of small moving parts. Think of it as the engine inside the watch that makes everything work.
Some brands purchase movements to include in their watches, while others make their own. Companies that make their own movements are usually more expensive and have more influence.
