Men: Use Your Watch to Say it with Style

We’re always in communication – it’s a part of the human experience. However, we speak to one another with more than our words. We use gestures, the tone or inflection of our voices, and other subtleties that are evoked every moment of every day. Men, whether you know it or not, the watch you wear speaks volumes about you as well.

It’s one thing to go out on a Friday night with a nice pair of shoes and a new haircut, and it’s another thing to show up to the office with a new tie. But you’re playing in another league if you show up to the party or the conference room with a nice watch.

Here at ProCuffs, we help men say the most and the best things they can about themselves with our stylish lineup of accessories. As of now, we know that most men wouldn’t know a nice watch if it jumped up and bit him in the you-know-what. In fact, most guys only know 3 names in the watch business! With that in mind, we’re going to focus on those aforementioned brands in this post. So, just in case you’re not sure how to say the best about yourself with what you’re wearing, let us give you a hand (or a wrist).

  • The Timex is a respectable brand. The company was started in America way back in the 19th century, and ever since then, men have rocked the Timex with their khakis and sweater vests to let everyone know they’re all about efficiency. How? Because everyone knows the Timex is on the lower end of the price scale, but the higher end of the durability spectrum. They’re typically easy to use, easy to find and easy to wear with anything for any occasion.
  • Casio doesn’t just make pianos: If you’re wearing a Casio, everyone knows you’re the outdoorsy, adventurous type. These digital timepieces are masterpieces. And they aren’t cheap, either. A man wearing a Casio wants the world to know how fun he is.
  • The Rolex is, simply put, the Rolls Royce of wrist wear. However, if you’re wearing a Rolex, it’s important to know that everyone is going to judge you – so just be sure that you’re worthy of the status that comes with it: Don’t flaunt it, just let it be a part of you. A man wearing a Rolex is going for an incredibly masculine look, and chances are going to be that he’s succeeding. Everyone from presidents to paper pushers can class up their act with a Rolex. If you’re wearing one of these, you’re saying that you deserve to be noticed.

We hope we helped you understand how to use your watch to say things about yourself. If you’re looking for more tips about how to best accessorize, check out our last post about what your accessories say about you. And check out our catalog of accessories on your way to find something to speak volumes about who you are and what you are about. Note: Our unique selection of watches are just as good, and in some cases better than, the names on this list.

Men: What Your Fashion Accessories Say about You

Men’s fashion accessories sowed their roots in the fruitful soil of practicality. You wear a watch to know what time it is. You wear cufflinks to hold your sleeve together. You wear a tie clip so your tie doesn’t end up in your soup.

These accessories have evolved over time, though. They’ve become a means of expression. Here at ProCuffs, we know all about expressing yourself with fashion accessories. And now we are sharing some of that knowledge. This post is for anyone who doesn’t speak the language of men’s fashion accessories but wants to learn.

So, without further ado, here is what the three main accessories are saying about you:

1. Watches never went out of style, but it is safe to say that they are seeing a resurgence in men’s fashion today. Everywhere you turn nowadays you see a guy with a beard and cool watch. Why? Because beards are cool and a nice watch is the cornerstone of any well-put-together outfit. Whether you’re in the boardroom or on the boardwalk, a nice-looking watch can speak volumes about who you are. For instance:

  • The guy with leather straps around his wrist seems rugged and charming

  • That silver watch sure is interesting. The guy wearing it might have something to say worth hearing
.
  • Look at how colorful that guy’s watch is! He’s probably got a lot of personality.


No one notices if you’re not wearing a watch. But if you are, it can really give strangers a solid impression of who you are!

2. Wearing a tie clip (sometimes referred to as a “tie bar”) is hands-down the best way to let everyone know that you’ve got your act together. Your suit speaks volumes about you, and a tie clip says that you are thorough, measured and in control. A suit with a tie clip is like a present with a bow: Sure, you don’t need it, but it kind of brings the whole idea together.

3.. Ah, the cufflink – our bread and butter here at ProCuffs. Needless to say, we think highly of cufflinks. Do you know who else thinks highly of cufflinks? Everyone who knows anything about men’s fashion! There are three kinds of men who wear them. The next time you’re mingling in a large group of people at a formal event, survey the crowd for cufflinks and you’ll see them. They are:

  • The individual wants to be appreciated for who he is, not how he dresses. For him, cufflinks are a vehicle of self-expression. His cufflinks are usually made of silk or thread, never metal or jewels.

  • The strong silent type doesn’t need to make an impression because his demeanor tells the whole story. He is wearing cufflinks for a practical reason: French cuffs can’t hold themselves together. His cuffs are usually metal. They’re noticeable only if you’re looking for them.

  • The extrovert uses cufflinks to say, “I’m here, let’s do this!” His cufflinks usually have some kind of stone, or they’re gold. The extrovert’s cufflinks are loud, like the individual, and full of presence, like the strong silent type’s.
