00:00 Right Watch to Wear Introduction

If you like timepieces, and as soon as you have more than one watch in your collection, you now have a decision to make: Which one do I wear?

Ultimately, with things being far more casual these days, it’s a lot easier to wear different watches in different situations.

01:01 Casual

That means you want to skip the dress watches here. Elegant designs and timeless styling are much too jarring in these situations and won’t create a harmonious look. Instead, choose a watch that has practicality at the center of its design. Sports watches that boast features such as water resistance are right at home in casual scenarios.

02:30 Smart Casual/Semi-Casual/Everyday

Clothes in this category may very well overlap with your casual pieces, but the trick with the everyday dress code is being able to incorporate clothes of a slightly higher formality too. The watches from our previous casual category would also feel right at home here.

04:35 Business Casual

Things are now at a point where those super casual watches should now be left on the dresser. This dress code still allows for those smart strap choices to be seen but this time around you can start to add more refined leather.

Whichever strap you choose, the focus for watches in this category should be streamlining the face and features.

05:55 Business

The watches you choose for this formality are certainly on the dressy side. While some of the watches we just spoke about for business casual will still be absolutely fine here, there are some details you want to take care of.

07:09 Formal Wear

It may surprise you to hear that the answer is: No watch should be worn here. Traditionally, wearing a watch with your evening wear is considered poor etiquette. Having a timepiece displayed on your wrist or on a pocket watch chain gives the impression that you’re not fully invested in where you are.

As black tie rules are a little more forgiving than white tie, it is acceptable to add a timepiece to your black-tie ensemble. Assuming you’re following the classic styles of black tie outfits, this watch needs to be equally elegant.
