Every man should have a respectable wristwatch that speaks to the type of person they are. A watch adds a touch of class, shows that you’re someone who is attentive to timeliness. This is especially useful for interviews where a watch can be that little “detail” that makes the interviewer think, “this young man must pay attention to time and has a classic sense of style”.

Avoid the bling and go for this season’s classic but stylish black leather strap with a silver face. Make sure your first watch can be worn in different situations and save up to buy 2-3 more for different occasions. Don’t worry about the brand for now if you’re on a budget, I found a great Swatch Irony series watch for $129. If you want something a bit classier and have the means, Breitlings, Omegas, and Oris watches are my picks for initial investments.
