Christmas Mens Watches For Him Gift Guide – 2011 Update
Published: November 29th, 2011
This is a girl’s guide to buying a watch for your man. Buying a gift, especially a watch, will require you to know about your man, his style, taste, and his liking. It would not require you to think a lot but to follow your instincts to get the right one. Other aspects that would help you to make the right choice would be the type of his personality, whether he is a reserved kind of a guy or an outgoing one, the different colours or styles he prefers the most, etc.
We have therefore picked some of our favourite men’s watches for Christmas, check out our guide and top list to make the right choice this Christmas!
Knowing the fact that whether he would go for a more practical watch or would prefer a rather sleek variety, flashy or a rather classic variety should help you make your choice. Most men do like vintage looking watches as well, which speaks for their taste of antique and classy gadgets. You can also look for a watch that goes well with his job’s nature.
While buying a watch, apart from the personality aspects of your man, you might also need to focus on the size, colour, style and price. If your man is of a big stature, then you would need to buy a watch of a bigger size. As a piece of advice, men do not go for jazzy and flashy colours, they usually like the dull ones among where blues and browns are the most preferred, in their deeper tones.
Our favourite shops for buying designer watches online have to be Ernest Jones, Goldsmiths, Christopher Ward as they have a great selection of watches, and solid money back guarantees if the watch doesn’t quite fit.
