How to Buy a Watch for a Lady

Buying a gift for a lady is one of life's greatest mysteries. You can know the person for the last 20 years but you may not know for certain which watch the woman will like, and that includes your wife. It is often simpler to just bring the lady to the shop and allow her to pick the watch of her choice. But that would sometimes also be a disaster for your wallet. If you are able to choose the watch that your lady companion desires, you could win her heart and save some money in the progress.
 
A watch for a lady is not just a functional timepiece. It is an accessory for the lady to match her attire and it is also a sign of status for her to show off to her friends. Keeping that in mind, you should not just buy any watch for your lady. Functionality is of secondary importance and you must choose a piece of "jewelry" that can match her clothes. Do not be fooled, there are many women who buy a watch not for the functions but just on how they will look with such a watch.
 
Brand is also an important factor when choosing a watch for a lady. Ladies tend to be more brands conscious when it comes to any accessories that can be seen by their friends. Although Casio or Seiko would probably be a more practical choice, as they tend to be very reliable and feature-rich, you would probably fare better with a Cartier or Tag Heuer with simple functions such as a aquaracer. Although you would have to spent much more.
 
Choosing a watch for a lady is different from choosing a watch for a guy. Women have different tastes and also different priorities even when buying a practical accessory like a watch. You should not think like a guy when buying a watch for a female friend, and perhaps you could elicit the help of another lady friend to choose the watch if you are really helpless.
