Understanding the New Trends in Watches

Girls are passionate about plenty of things, not just dolls and dollhouses anymore. Many companies like Titan and Fastrack for example, realizing the current trend in girls' interest in watches, have released fashion watches for girls. The watches come in so many irresistibly different styles, designs and colors that girls use them as fashion accessories; and to capitalize on these trends, companies have released the watches in different colored straps, faces and bands. The girls can change the colors (of the straps, faces and bands) according to the dresses they wear, thus making the wristwatch an important accessory in any outfit.  They love these watches so much as they can mix and match the bands, straps and faces according to the clothes they are wearing. So, even if they own only one wristwatch, it will look as they are wearing different ones each day. Girls like to wear watches that showcase the pictures of their favorite cartoon characters like Dora, Barbie, Snow-white, Thumbelina and the like. Unisex watches may carry Disney characters, Tom and Jerry, Chotta Bheem and Sponge Bob; while boys are more into Ben 10. Classy, curvy watches are more of girls' style than boys; they like watches that have square/rectangular shapes. These watches are not terribly expensive, considering the features you get with them. You can get a good watch for your girl at an economical rate of Rs.1000.

The watch industry has reached several milestones in men's ranges too. Matching his timepiece to his lifestyle, character and manner of dress is perhaps the biggest challenge a man will ever experience. Different occasions call for different kinds of watches; you do not expect a man to sport a Rolex when he is going to play a game of tennis, do you? Fashionable, elegant timepieces are highly popularly among men, and that is not all - the utilitarian feature of the watch is also given equal importance.  The use of wristwatches became immensely popular during the World War II, and the wristwatch industry began releasing watches that meet the demands of the army people as they were the ones who popularized the concept of wristwatches, thanks to its convenience. Thus, a new fashion statement was born, thanks to the innovations made in the wristwatch industry.

There are waterproof watches for men and women. You can wear these watches if you are a sports freak; however, these watches are not suited for prolonged diving expeditions. Most of the water-resistant watches in the market can handle only a small amount of depth before they lose their resistance element - about 66 feet or so.
