And as a guy you should optimize your style to be as attractive as possible.
This is in addition to wearing what suits your tastes and preferences.
Furthermore, a guy can do or wear so many things to enhance their look. So it is important to figure out what actually makes a difference and what is fluff.
Study Source & Answers
When we found out that we loved watches and became watch enthusiasts. We wanted to understand if women care about watches too.
So, we went out and surveyed 354 women across the US. This population varied from college students to girlfriends to wives to mothers.
Also, we tried to gain as much diversity as possible by surveying women of different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Not every single person we approached answered this study, so these answers may have some bias towards either end of the spectrum. But we will assume this sample was sufficient.
Process & Methodology
The survey that was ran asked 9 different questions to females. Here they are:
What is the first thing you notice about a person’s style?
- Clothes
- Accessories
- Shoes
What is the first thing you notice about a person’s accessories?
- Watches
- Necklaces
- Earrings
- Belts
- Rings
Do you find wearing a watch is more attractive? Yes or No?
Do you think a guy wearing a watch has more money? Yes or No?
Do you think a guy wearing a watch is more trustworthy? Yes or No?
Do you know what a Rolex watch is? Yes or No?
Do you know what a Seiko watch is? Yes or No?
Do you know what a Tissot watch is? Yes or No?
Would you buy an Apple watch? Yes or No?
When organizing the survey we knew that the order of the questions made a difference. If we asked about watches right away then there would be alot of bias in the responses.
So, we made sure to sequence the watch related questions last to remove any bias.
We also wanted to gauge how savvy women were when it came to watch shopping. So, we also tried to ask questions about different watch brands to understand their experience.
