Luxury Watches Have Wide Appeal

By William David Henry


Luxury watches are desired by many, but can only be purchased by the wealthy. People who want to wear a high-end time piece can also go to discount stores to look for them at a lower price. They may also be able to find one at an antique store, at a pawn shop or in the local classified ads.

Many people want an exclusive time piece because they consider it a status symbol to wear something associated with wealth, fame and status. For this consumer, the time pieces are more about how it makes them feel and look in the eyes of others than about function or even the quality of the item. Of course the customer will expect high quality materials, but the main focus is a distinct look and respected name in full display.

Some consumers wear these time pieces mainly for the functions they have. They want models that are specifically constructed to hold-up under wear and tear and fit into their lifestyle. A diver will likely be willing to spend more on a watch that functions well under water and is water proof than a regular watch.

Some people only care about the look of their time pieces. They consider them a fashion accessory rather than a functional item. This type of customer will be concerned with the color of the band and the shape of the face more than the high quality mechanics that make it function.

Purchasing a high-end watch from an expensive retailer is out of most people's budget. Those who want to treat themselves to one but can't afford it should consider visiting a discount store. They can also check out antique stores, local pawn shops and the newspaper and online classified ads.

Luxury watches are desired by many, but their price makes them out of reach for most. Full price items can be found at jewelry stores and retailers who cater to a wealthy crowd. No matter what the motive is for buying an expensive piece, the consumer can find a good deal by searching through classified ads and pawn and antique shops.
