Timepiece Gifting Guide: Finding the Perfect Watch for Every Occasion

The holiday season is just peeking around the corner and that only means it is also time for gift-giving!

With the cozy moments, flickering lights, warm feeling all over your chest, and the joy of picking something special for your loved ones, the Christmas season is indeed the best time of the year.

And you know which gift would make someone feel extra special? A timepiece.

Giving a wristwatch as a gift is a ‘timeless’ gesture and more than its main purpose (time-telling), a watch also symbolizes deep connection.

Here are the reasons watches are perfect as a gift.

• It serves as a beautiful and thoughtful reminder of enduring relationships. Husbands and wives often give each other timepieces as anniversary presents. Even parents give watches as heirlooms for their kids when they finally turn 18 or 21. 
• Commitment is also one of the symbols of a timepiece as a gift. It is a long-term relationship signifier and it comes along with a promise of future moments together.
• Shared milestones. Many people give watches as a present for shared milestones like graduation, marriage, and more.
• Watches make a wonderful and stylish gift there is, especially for your fashion-forward friends and family members.
• It serves as an everyday reminder of love.
• It is very useful, functional, and aesthetic.

We can list more reasons here, but we bet you know the gist. Watches make a perfect (yes, perfect) gift!

In this blog, we’ve whipped up a comprehensive guide for you to find the perfect watch for every occasion. The recipient of your gift will highly appreciate this.

If you are gifting a timepiece to someone who frequently attends formal gatherings and affairs, you have to narrow down your options and go for classic and elegant watches. No sporty watches, please! Choose sleek designs, minimalistic dials, versatile colors that are not too screamy (e.g. black, brown, blue, silver, rose gold, or gold), and those with metallic tones. You probably already have an idea of what we are picturing here. Always imagine if that piece can complement formal attires.

This is something you also need to consider. Is that friend or family member quite a home buddy? Is she or he more laid-back with a relaxed style? You know them well so if their lifestyle involves a lot of going to and fro small familiar gatherings that do not require formality, then go for casual styles. Watches that are perfect for casual affairs are minimalist leather strap watches that can easily complement and up a white tee, jeans, and sneakers attire, sports watches with a rubber strap, smartwatches, and even field watches.

Does he or she love nature tripping, trekking, biking, or doing other outdoor activities? If that person loves going outside and engaging in recreational activities, then you know which to give. A sports watch! Sports watches are made durable and highly resistant to shock and moisture. Built for adventure, your friend or loved one will surely adore that gift and it also means that wherever they go, you will always be with them through that timepiece and that is just lovely.

For your frequent flyer friend, get him or her a chronograph watch. It will serve as their go-to companion (just like you) whenever they need to go out of the country either for leisure or for business.

Special celebrations call for something equally special. If you are torn between choosing a formal watch or a dress watch, we’d like to take away that burden from your shoulders. The answer? Always choose a dress watch. Nothing can ever go wrong with a dress watch because it can be dressed up or down accordingly. Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or even for business meetings, dress watches are a top favorite watch gift idea because it is versatile, minimalist in design, never complex, and so timeless!
