Personalized Watch Gift Ideas

26 March 2019 by Roberta Vasquez

If you're looking for a classic gift for a friend or family member of any age, treat him or her to a new timepiece watch. Watches make perfect presents for both adult males or females and even older children. 

You can give someone the gift of a watch for almost any special event or occasion, including birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, weddings, and graduations. Not only are these personal timepieces useful, but they can also be used as jewelry or to accessorize an outfit.

When choosing the best watch for the celebrant, consider his or her favorite metals, colors, and even their hobbies and passions. You can either go the traditional route with a basic watch, or have one completely personalized for the recipient, either online or at a store that specializes in timepieces. 

While a watch makes a thoughtful and complete gift by itself, you can also choose additional items that complement it, such as matching jewelry. No matter what your gift-giving budget is, you'll be able to find a timepiece that fits your needs since there are so many options available. 

Here are some watch gift ideas to get you started:

1. Sleek Metal Watches 

Ideal for either a man or woman who prefers a streamlined, modern style, sleek metal watches are as durable as they are aesthetically pleasing. Pick a timepiece in the recipient's preferred metal if you know what it is so that it will blend with all of their other jewelry pieces. 

Metal options include stainless steel, titanium, or rose, white and yellow gold, among others. If you can't afford the real thing, look for a gold-plated watch for long-lasting durability. 

When it comes to the watch face, you can stick with all metal, or go with a minimalist white or vibrantly colored one instead. As a personalized touch, choose a face in the recipient's favorite color, such as dark blue, orange or yellow.

You can also have the watch band engraved with a message, such as "happy birthday" or "I love you," followed by the date. 

2. Classic Leather Watches 

For the recipient who prefers a simpler, more rustic-looking style, consider a leather-banded watch. Stick with a neutral brown, tan or black band, or pick one in a color you know the celebrant loves. 

As a special treat, customize the watch face with one of the recipient's favorite photos, perhaps one that features their child or a pet. If you go this route, plan ahead as the personalization process may take a week or more.
