If there is one accessory I cannot function without, it's a watch.
Checking the time is a nervous function of human beings. However, using your phone to check the time is not always appropriate in all situations (class!). So, to avoid the terrible 21st century habit, I suggest investing in a watch.
Growing up, Baby-G watches were the hottest accessory. While Baby-G's can do some incredibly cool things, it made it very difficult for me to switch to an analogue watch (which I wish I had done sooner). Analogue watches are more mature, and can truly make a statement.
My most recent investment (now that I'm making money again):
In all my years of having watches I have to say the most important decision rests in choosing the strap. I have had metal, silicon, ceramic, and leather watches and must stand by my decision to get a metal band this time around. While leather is my favorite look, it just cannot be worn too frequently because of water and marking. The sweat from your wrists warps the leather and the small bit of water that gets on your watch from washing your hands changes the quality. Silicon, while sometimes more comfortable, can easily change color - excluding black. Ceramic watches are usually covered in a layer of paint - which begins to chip away after time. Having a stainless steel band allows one to fully enjoy the abilities of a water resistant watch and not worry about color.
Note: depending on how much money you are willing to spend, the metal may turn. See if a band is made of stainless steel or a finer metal.
Over the past few years the "stack" as become a popular trend, usually involving an over-sized face watch and some bangles. The look is actually very cute and can help make a large watch look less awkward.
