Timepiece versus Smartwatch: Which to Buy?

If you're thinking about giving a watch away as a gift or simply buying one for yourself, you may weighed the option of an Apple watch versus a classic timepiece. Of course, there are pros and cons to both. However, there's a few compelling points to be made as to why an luxury timepiece would be better than a smartwatch:

1. Timepieces have a longer lifespan.

Luxury timepieces are man-made works of art that can increase or retain in value over time, depending on the brand. They are timeless gifts. An Apple watch or smartwatch will quickly grow outdated in terms of technology. Whereas a luxury watch can be worn for a lifetime, an apple watch will be lucky to make it past a decade.

2. Smartwatch functions are versatile but limited.

The idea of having a variety of your phone's functions available on your wrist sounds convenient. But the problem with smartwatches is that they aren't specialized enough for the price you pay. Some timepieces, however, are specifically crafted to activities such as racing , diving , and simply keeping the date, which make luxury watches a much better choice for a gift.

3. Smartwatches aren't nearly as classy as timepieces.

When you need to wear your best suit to an event, you need something classier than an Apple Watch. Timepieces can often be worn for daily wear, but they also help complete even the nicest outfits, leaving the wearer dressed to impress. After all, you'd much rather have a watch that catches someone's eye with a complication instead of a Facebook notification on your wrist..

4. Just about everyone enjoys a timepiece —not everyone wants a smartwatch.

It takes a certain kind of person to want and use a smartwatch; it's just not the kind of gift you buy for someone. A timepiece, on the other hand, is a really classic gift that you really can't go wrong with. It's useful and functional without being too frivolous.
 
Consider these points when buying a watch for yourself or a loved one. After all, you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on the wrong thing.
