GRAPHIC DIALS FTW

One of the few things I like more than watches is typography. I spend countless hours studying typography in advertisements and finding the perfect fonts for my work as a graphic designer. My love of typography works itself into my love of watches. I like watches with numbers not those boring dots and dashes.

There is a group of 5 watches that kill me (in a good way) with their big + bold numbers. These are not your most common, well-known watches and they sell well below their value. Most dudes can’t handle the bold numbers. But as women, we CAN. Think of these wrist candy numbers as graphic accessories to your fit. I wish I had a name for big graphics, big numbered, watches but I don’t. Here are a few that I currently love.

Insider notes from the watch nerd: Kristin is right. Most dudes follow each other like sheep and are unwilling to take a risk with their watch choices. Many dudes like little dashes and dots rather than big numbers on their watches. For this reason, if you do find yourself researching watches online, be sure to ignore most of what you read. Dudes will tell you that watches with bold fonts are a crime against humanity. They are wrong. Find your own style. If you like it, go for it. Don’t let the dudes in the forums tell you what to like. I promise, most of the time they are just signaling to each other in a quirky watch bromance.  Like Kristin says, you can do stuff that dudes (including me) can't.
