Question 3

How do you choose a watch for a woman?

Accepted Answer

To choose a watch for a woman, start by establishing a budget so you know how much you have available to spend on your gift. Next, consider how frequently she may want to wear the watch. Do you wish to give her something to wear daily? If so, a simple timepiece with a bracelet band or a leather strap may be the best option. If you'd rather give her something dramatic to sport for special occasions, consider watches encrusted with diamonds, other gemstones or crystals. Paying attention to the types of jewelry she wears can also be helpful. If she wears silver-toned or gold-toned pieces exclusively, consider getting her a watch in a matching finish. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of watches.
