Who doesn’t love those things in life that serve several purposes at once? Phone cases that are also wallets. Pens that are also highlighters. Comfortable shoes that are appropriate for a variety of settings.

The Best Type of Watch for Any Style
Don’t want to head to a jewelry store without knowing what you’re looking for? Here’s how to find the perfect watch for your vibe.
The Mountaineer
You’re the type who would rather climb a mountain or a dune on the beach than climb the escalators at the mall. You have a zest for nature and adventure and you need your watch to work overtime.
Look for watches that are full of handy gadgets and designed for outdoor wear. G Shock watches, for instance, are built to be durable enough for the active outdoorsy type.
The Sophisticate
You always aim to look like you’ve stepped off the set of a James Bond movie. You’re all about using your wardrobe to pull confidence and strength in any setting.
You need a watch that shows off your luxury side. Look for one that’s made of metal from end to end and make sure it has some bling like a diamond or two.
The Retro Pro
You model your daily wardrobe after Mad Men. You love everything that feels like a blast from the past and you delight in making everyone wonder if you’re a time-traveler.
In your case, go for the classic minimalist watch of yesteryear. You want a simple round face with a plain leather band in any color.
The Earth Lover
The term “boho” is the perfect descriptor for your look. Maybe you’re a vegan or perhaps you’re more of a climate change conquistador. Regardless, your look screams “organic” at all times.

For you, it’s all about the smartwatch. Whether you’re more of an Apple or Android fan, there are options that give you all the geeky features you’ll love while complementing your smart style.
