So how to choose a watch for a woman?

I'll tell you the most important thing right at the beginning - forget about your own taste! You decided to buy her a watch because she is special to you in some way. So here I go – what is she like and what does she like? Believe that your gift rises and falls in the eyes of a woman just by noticing what she likes and what she wears and try to choose a watch just for her.

Pick a few basic features that your watch should meet and stick to them. The easiest way to find your way is to follow one of the following 3 guides. Then refine your selection with the help of filtering in the e-shop, or with the help of the offer of similar watches. In addition, you can immortalize your wish with an original engraving on the watch face (contact us, we will advise you on the engraving and arrange everything, as well as minor adjustments).

You can choose a watch according to:

  1. dress style
  2. accessories and jewelry that she likes to wear
  3. or according to the occasions on which the watch will be worn

1. According to her style of dressing

Formal style, costumes, dresses, business fashion

Most often, she dresses decently in costumes and pumps, she puts up with high-quality and timeless clothes, and you hardly ever meet her without make-up. In that case, focus on dress watches with subtle embellishments. A subtle metallic stroke underlines the feminine curves (women's silver watch or gold women's watch). A pearl, polished metal or women's watch with stones will add sparkle to a woman.

Urban elegance, jeans, practical clothes

He prefers comfortable clothes in the style of casual urban elegance. She always complements her look with something original and doesn't deny the woman in her even in jeans. Then bet on a watch in pastel colors. Feel free to choose bold colors, but complemented by a classic or minimalist design. Even sportier watches with silicone straps are not prohibited (women's smart watches or Citizen women's watches).

Even a woman who prefers to dress in jeans and a T-shirt will appreciate a watch with a touch of romance.


Dresses, flowers, just romance

She's a romantic in body and soul and she shows it off in a boho / retro / hippie / ethnic style with flowers, lace, feathers and bright colors. Then you find watches with more expressive design elements on the dial or strap, in round shapes, or perhaps with a plant pattern or retro numbers (for example, Festina women's watches have more expressive decoration).

The romantic style of women's watches is not complete without graceful curves or glittering decorations


Athlete or busy mom

Does she feel best in sports and functional clothes that make it easier for her to perform sports or make her stay in nature more pleasant? Then you'll find the right watch in categories based on her favorite activity: women's sports watches, women's outdoor watches (solar-powered watches save her a lot of worry), and women's smartwatches. Even among functional watches, there are beautiful pieces that will flatter a woman.

           


Sports watches in the women's version can be very elegant at the same time.


Sometimes she even shocks herself

She is bold and thinks about her appearance in detail. In this case, what counts is the originality and originality of the design. Feel free to choose a unisex watch, a women's watch with a large dial, don't be afraid to explore men's watches with a smaller case.

Black could be even blacker, whether she dresses her own way or in a metal, punk, gothic, emo, or femme fatale style. A black women's watch with a black dial and strap is sure of it. You can't go wrong with the very rich colors of the Bering True Aurora range, which highlight its sparkling nature.

If you choose a watch based on the contents of her jewelry box, you've won. A watch similar to her favorite accessories and jewelry she puts on her arm at any time without hesitation. Also, decide whether she wears delicate and understated jewelry, or if she loves larger, bold, or sparkling pieces.

Does she not wear any jewelry? You can also consider a phone, headphones, or even nail polish or a purse. Depending on the accessories the woman wears, you can choose the color of the bracelet/strap and dial, the shape of the case, or the materials used.


Tips for choosing according to color and material

Gold jewelry goes with her skin, or she wears other warm shades of metals.

Silver, platinum, steel and the beauty of cold shades of metals shine on her.

Does it alternate between gold and silver? Then look for the watch in the bicolor version.

She wears distinctive jewelry. Then filter, for example, according to your favorite color and feel free to choose a dial with stones, complications, or a view of the movement (Epos Ladies, Festina Automatic). 

Something for the brave: if she has her favorite color that she's a little overdone (or on the contrary, she has to wear it to work, for example), you can try to adjust her style with a watch in a contrasting color. Contrasting (or complementary) colors lie opposite each other on the color wheel.


Beware of allergies to metals or silicone

  • Pay attention to the size of the case, the rest can be adjusted
  • For women's watches, it's worth checking the case size. In the helveti.cz e-shop for the women's watch category, we recommend the case size S or M. In other words, the case size determines the space that the watch takes up on the wrist.
  • The volume of the case also plays a role. For example, the very popular series of Casio Baby-G or G-Shock sports watches have a case that is large and bulky, but due to its purpose and iconic appearance, it can be suitable even for a young lady or a smaller figure and slender wrist.
  • Similarly, some women's Bering watches have large cases again, but thin ones with a delicate and clean design, so they can also stand out well on slimmer women's wrists.
