Best Watch Buying Guide For Men | Ultimate Checklist To Buy The Right Timepiece | RMRS Style Video
About this video
Centeno presents a 21-point checklist for purchasing a watch, guiding viewers through key decision-making factors including determining purchase motivation, watch type and style, desired features, budget range, and quality indicators. He demonstrates these principles using the G-Shock G-Steel GST B100 as an example and provides a free downloadable PDF checklist.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that clarifying your purpose for owning a watch—whether functional, aesthetic, or as an heirloom—should be the first step in the buying process
- Centeno recommends narrowing watch selection by deciding on type (mechanical, quartz, smartwatch), style (dress, dive, sports, etc.), and specific features before shopping
- Centeno identifies critical quality indicators including movement origin (Swiss or Japanese), case finishing, glass type (sapphire crystal vs. mineral), clasp construction, and official certifications like the Seal of Geneva
- Centeno advises considering budget categories ranging from $100-$1,000 for entry-level watches up to $10,000+ for luxury pieces, and distinguishes between buying new versus used watches
