A Good Watch is Always a Great Gift

By Robert Cooksey

Does someone special to you have an occasion coming up that you want to give a gift for? Why not give a watch? Though we don't give them much consideration, they are very welcome as gifts. It isn't necessary to over spend or give a watch that lacks quality. You can stay within your budget and still give a good quality watch that matches the interest of the recipient. A silver pocket watch with a design to match a special interest is great for a man and beautiful jewelry style watches are a great feminine touch for women. If you are looking for the perfect gift, a watch fits your needs.

If there's an angler in your life, consider a fishing watch. These watches are waterproof and sturdy, but don't have to be clunky looking. Some models are stylish enough to wear to the club or to dinner. Lots of options are available, from the simple to the complex. So, whether your angler just needs to know what time it is, or would like to play with gadgets from depth gauges and alarms to electronic fish finders, fishing watches are a fun choice.

While a silver or brass pocket watch might seem old fashioned, they're actually coming back into style. They make great presents for nephews, friends, or even the groomsmen for your wedding. For a special occasion, it's easy to have these watches engraved with a name or another memorable piece of text or image. Pocket watches look stylish, but don't have to be expensive. Keep them in mind when you're looking for a gift.

Women appreciate functional beauty, so a jewelry watch is a wonderful choice. The styles that are available are ring, pendant and bracelet watches made of gold, silver or another precious metal. Design choices include watches that are ornately enameled, filigreed, or set with stones that are precious or semi-precious. Simple elegance is also a great option.

Some jewelry watches are simple, too. There's an option for everyone's style, and these watches are a lot more interesting than just another bracelet or necklace. For Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or any other special occasion where jewelry is appropriate, it can be combined with a watch.

Rather than just give a photo to a relative, how about giving a photo watch? The face of the watch can actually be made of a photo and be a great keepsake. One of the most popular choices is of growing children but don't stop there in thinking of what to put on a photo watch. Art photos, grandparents, other relatives and even pets are also excellent options. The cost of having photo watches made is not very expensive so they are an affordable gift that will be remembered for a long time.

There are feature-loaded watches for your gadget lover. How about a chronograph? This watch has a stopwatch and many other features; it will even tell what time it is. Another popular choice is a tide watch. Some people enjoy knowing when the different tides are happening. They are fun, practical additions to tide tables. Do you have a diver on your gift list who might find monitoring his or her underwater time helpful? Then give a waterproof, pressure proof and durable diving watch.

Only your imagination limits you with all the various types and styles of watches available that make great gifts. When you need to find gifts for anyone, consider giving a watch. - 29957
