A watch is not only a convenient tool for obtaining information about the time of day, but also an indicator of the style and taste of its owner. In principle, the latter property in a given period of time is much more relevant, since we can obtain the information itself from other sources. But the style of fashion accessory must emphasize. Watches for a teenager (boy) must be accepted by his society and approved. But what kind of choice do parents have in order to please their child with a successful gift, we will consider in this article.
Watch as a gift
High-quality branded watches are a gift worth special attention. Not everyone can appreciate it, but if a person understands something in style and quality, such a choice is the best. A completely different question is when to choose a watch for a teenage boy. At this age, both boys and girls rarely go into the solidity of this accessory. Although, of course, there are exceptions. But it’s better to focus on the taste and choice of the youngest person, so as not to miscalculate with the subject of donation. In a teenage society, their impressions of various details of clothing and appearance have certainly developed. Adolescents in this regard are very moody and scrupulous. The accessory must be approved by the surrounding society. Therefore, you should not rely solely on your taste. Check out the new products and models that have proven themselves in this particular consumer audience, ask your child, take the trouble to know his tastes and preferences before buying.
What can be a watch for a teenager
All types of watches are presented in three versions. This classification is based on the difference between the internal mechanism and its principle of operation. So, the first type is mechanical. Such a watch for a teenage boy is one of the best options. They are most durable with an active lifestyle of a young man. Mechanical watches must be wound up periodically. This is perhaps their only drawback, which, however, can be made a virtue. This process will develop the boy’s ability to carry out the necessary actions on time, and also teach him not to forget about them. The second type of watch is quartz. The mechanism of work is somewhat similar to the previous ones. The difference is the presence of batteries, which are responsible for bringing the mechanism into operation. A quartz watch for a teenager boy is a less durable option. The third type is an electronic watch. Such watches are the totality of the achievement of mankind in the field of electronics and the multifunctionality of gadgets. Therefore, they are the most popular option in the society of adolescents. Electronic watches for teens can be equipped with an additional player, navigator, built-in maps, can be synchronized with other mobile devices and so on. In fact, the range of their capabilities at the moment is very wide, however, as well as the price range for them.
Appearance - a weighty selection criterion
Teenagers are not yet fully formed and matured personalities, but they are far from being children. Therefore, when choosing a gift, forget about children's stores. Do not try to buy your child a cute little watch with Spiderman or Mickey Mouse. In your eyes, the child, of course, will remain a child for a long time, but he will not appreciate such a gift. Too old watches are not very interesting for him either. The charm of minimalism or the name of a brand known to too narrow a circle of people is not yet clear to him. Pay attention to what style of clothing attracts a teenager the most, what things he looks at with particular interest. Go shopping with him, show off the models that interest you. Most likely, he will answer the same and challenge your choice. The appearance of the watch should be combined with the overall picture of the image. If a teenager is fond of active sports, shockproof or waterproof watches for tourism are quite suitable for him, they look quite brutal, a real active boy will definitely appreciate them. Sports style will be complemented by watches of famous brands of sportswear and equipment. Yes, companies such as Adidas, Puma and others also produce their own watch lines. Lovers of classics - watches for teens in a calm color scheme and with classic outlines.
Watch functionality
Before buying a watch, you need to understand what kind of functionality a teenager needs. Both the price and the type of purchase will depend on this. If you need fashion watches for teenagers who will be worn as a bracelet, then investing in additional options is not worth it. There are a lot of watches of attractive appearance, which perform one single main function, on store shelves at various prices. The situation is more complicated if you need a watch with special resistance to different weather, temperature, physical environmental conditions. Here the choice will vary between ordinary watches with reinforced cases and mechanisms, and specialized travel. Various electronic add-ons will already make the watch much higher cost, but it will be possible to track the movement of the child.
Famous brands
For adherents of classics and minimalism there is a line of Timex watches. This brand produces models of both women's and men's watches. A characteristic feature is a relatively concise appearance, a thin strap, a round dial with Arabic numerals. The most masculine brutal forms are observed in the Casio watch line. The most popular models for boys are G-Shok. They are presented both in mechanics and with an analog mechanism. Electronic options are also found, but much less frequently.
Price range
For a teenager it is better to choose an inexpensive watch. Firstly, at this age, pretty quickly everything bothers. Secondly, everything breaks down just as quickly. And nobody canceled the possibility of loss. Models of well-known brands that have proven themselves in the market start at a cost of 1,100 rubles. The highest price is difficult to determine. There are instances of several hundred thousand. For a teenager, a model for 3-4 thousand is quite enough. Such a watch will be appreciated by the child himself and his surroundings. In addition, inexpensive watches are easy to replace with new ones without special regrets.
