If you have ever taken the time to study the type of watches people wear, you may soon start to draw conclusions about their lifestyle, their values and their hobbies. After spending several years in the watch industry and as a writer of industry blogs, I have picked up on some interesting trends about watches and the people who wear them.

• Some people take the watch they wear very seriously, and others look at them as a mere fashion accessory. Young women are more likely to own several inexpensive watches than they are to own one luxury watch.
• Teens have gotten away from wearing watches because they can tell the time so easily on their cell phones – which are always within reach.
• Because most men wear so few pieces of jewelry, they often spend a lot more time shopping for the perfect watch than women do.
• Most of the men who purchase diver’s watches have never gone diving.
• Some people cannot wear watches because their body emits a unique electromagnetic field which causes the watch to stop working.
• Other people wear a special “Teslar” watch to protect them from the health effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields.
• Buying the right luxury watch can make it into a treasured family heirloom for generations to come.

No matter why you wear the watch you love, it can be a great way to express yourself through jewelry.
