Steel your face: how to upgrade your wrist

Men's Fitness, May, 2004 by Warren Christopher

It's time to retire that Timex with the worn strap. But what to replace it with?

SHAPE UP

How do you choose which one is right for you? For starters, go for a shape that matches your image: Square is more buttoned-down. Rounded styles, inspired by heavy-duty diving watches, work well for casual office guys.

COOL AS STEEL

Bracelet-style watches made from a variety of metals get our vote mainly because of their dress-up or dress-down versatility. Plus, they last forever and make good heirlooms.

KEEP IT CLEAN

To maintain your watch, check the manufacturer's instructions, but most require little more than a weekly wipe-down with a damp cloth.
