10 Watch Buying Mistakes | Watch This BEFORE You Buy A Timepiece
About this video
Centeno outlines ten common mistakes to avoid when purchasing a watch, including buying what others want rather than what appeals to you, starting with overly flashy pieces, neglecting strap options, choosing oversized cases, treating watches as investments, overspending, limiting yourself to one brand, dismissing quartz movements, failing to work with trustworthy sellers, and not wearing the watches you own.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues you should buy a watch that resonates with you personally rather than succumbing to pressure about what’s popular or trendy
- Centeno recommends starting with a versatile everyday watch that can be dressed up or down, and emphasizes experimenting with different straps to change a watch’s formality and aesthetic
- Centeno advises matching watch case size to your wrist proportions, avoiding credit card debt for purchases, exploring lesser-known brands, not dismissing quartz movements, choosing sellers with good customer service, and actually wearing the watches you buy
