In eara's gone by, women didn't wear watches on their
dainty little wrists. Just like the men of their eras, they
wore them dangling from their clothing via fashionable
chains. In addition to the chain style, many wore their
watches as pendants, as brooches, and even as rings. Some
women even wore their pocket watches like necklaces. But
these days, women like to wear their watches one way: on
their wrists.
Luckily, there are plenty of stylish options out there from Stuhrling watches to Akribos watches, that can allow any woman to really showcase her personal style.
There is a wide-array of different styles of watches, and
after familiarizing yourself with each broad category,
choosing the right watch will be a lot easier. If you're on
the market for a women's watch for yourself, or for a loved
one, here is a breakdown of the different watch styles, to
help you narrow down which is in line with the look you're
going for.
1) Sports watches: As the name indicated, these durable
watches are perfect for athletic and outdoorsy types. With
these you can expect a rubber wristband and in many cases,
digital mechanisms. Other features of a good sports watch
are: water-resistance and the ability to be shockproof.
Sports watches are great for active lifestyles because
they're often constructed from some really great materials
that ensure a long life-span. Materials used in sports
watches are often durable rubber, stainless steel, and even
titanium. They come in a wide array of colors and designs,
so you should give the color a thought as well.
2) Dress watches: If the woman you're buying for is more of
a business or executive type, you should look into more of a
dress watch style. These are more versatile than the
aforementioned sports watches, as they can be great for a
casual party environment to the more formal boardroom
setting. Often times, these dress watches can be
distinguished by their classic, elegant design, leather,
gold, stainless steel, or titanium wrist straps. Many
popular brands of dress watches are Stuhrling watches,
Akribos watches, and even Invicta watches.
3) Jewelry watches: These watches truly are the cream of the
crop. These are often referred to as mechanical watches
because they operate using hand-crafted mechanical
mechanisms to measure time, unlike the more widely used
electronic quartz mechanisms. These watches are fantastic
investments and often times end up becoming heirlooms.
Jewelry watches are often made from the finest materials and
have a wide range of different styles. The fine watchmakers
responsible for producing jewelry style watches are often on
the cutting edge in terms of style and you can find something
very fresh and contemporary, to something more classic and
subdued. A few luxury brands that make jewelry watches are
Patek Philippe, Chopard, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron
Constantin, Bulgari, Chopard, GP and many others. Best of
luck in your search for the perfect woman's watch. Whatever
