Women's watch buying advice

Which one is right for me?

Women's watches are far more than just a piece of jewellery on the wrist. Matching the style of clothing, they indicate the exact time and emphasise the individual personality. The choice of ladies' watches is extremely varied. Elegant ladies' watches, sporty models or chronographs impress with their many details and functions.

But which ladies' watch is the right one for me? We have summarised everything you need to know about movements, straps, style and size of these indispensable accessories in our buying guide. You'll be well equipped to buy your new ladies' watch.

The case

One of the most important features of a ladies' watch is the case. It provides comprehensive protection for the sensitive movement and also serves as decoration. The classic design consists of the back, the centre section and the bezel with glass. This prevents dirt, water or dust from entering the ladies' watch. The horns to which the strap is attached are located on the centre section.

The features that make the ladies' watch a special accessory are anchored in the case. If it is to be particularly water-resistant, special seals must be used. Or should the ladies' watch be perfectly tailored to the occasion? Then features such as a stainless steel, gold or silver case are important for the purchase decision. Sports enthusiasts pay particular attention to the functionality of the ladies' watch.

The display

The display offers the greatest scope in the overall look of the ladies' watch. Ladies' watches with a digital display or ladies' watches with a dial are still the most common and popular models. A second display for an additional time zone or the display of the current date have also long since arrived on wrists. Ladies' watches with a Roman dial look elegant and are popular.

Women's watch buying advice on technology and movement

A ladies' watch is not a useful accessory without a functioning movement. The focus of the movement is on displaying the exact time. Wristwatches with a centrepiece from Switzerland or from one of the German manufactories enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide. When searching for the right wristwatch, you will come across mechanical movements with manual winding, quartz movements or even Automatic watches for ladies.

Mechanical watches

The movement of mechanical watches is powered by a balance spring. For this to work, the manual winding mechanism must be operated regularly. These ladies' watches are a real piece of jewellery, especially for lovers of timepieces. It's easier with a classic ladies' watch that you can't forget to wind. Automatic watches, which are powered by the movement of the arm, are an alternative.

Quartz watches

Digital watches or radio-controlled watches are ladies' watches with quartz movements. The correct time is displayed either by manual setting or radio control. The dial is not movable, sometimes there is a digital display. The time can be read through liquid crystals in an LCD display.

Ladies' watches with a quartz crystal drive are battery-operated. The energy source must be replaced regularly. This model eliminates the need for manual winding. Another advantage of wristwatches is the small movement, which is why some of these ladies' watches are particularly flat.

The right strap for ladies' watches

Choosing the right strap for a ladies' watch depends largely on personal taste and the timepiece you have chosen. Those who prefer sporty watches will rarely opt for an ornate strap. Even leather is not necessarily the right choice of material. Sports watches are usually fitted with a silicone strap or another easy-care synthetic material.

Leather and metal bracelets are usually the most popular choice, as they have a traditional and classic look. They also go well with a wide variety of clothing styles. Leather is very comfortable to wear and particularly durable.

The correct fastening of the ladies' watch is also an important criterion:

• Pin buckle
• Velcro fastener
• Folding clasp
• Safety folding clasp

Appearance

Which ladies' watch is the right one? The occasion and your own style of dress determine the right choice of popular accessory.

Style

Are you sporty? Then a classic wristwatch or chronograph is a good choice. Do you prefer elegant clothes and dresses? Then a ladies' watch made of metal will go perfectly with your outfit. Generally speaking, a ladies' watch should emphasise the personality of the wearer.

Elegant ladies' watches

Ladies' watches made of metal, stainless steel and platinum are classically elegant , but gold and silver are also highly favoured. They convey a timeless charm and can be worn for any occasion. The matching bracelets are either also made of metal or leather. The high-quality ladies' watches are particularly durable and are popular for both private and professional occasions.

Sporty ladies' watches

Fitness watches offer many functions that are particularly useful during leisure time. Here you are in the right place with Chronographs for women as a stopwatch with a technocratic look. Diver's and pilot's watches are a special type of sporty ladies' watch that exude a high degree of sportiness. They have a particularly technical look and complement many leisure activities.

Modern ladies' watches

Modern ladies' watches can be a little unusual. Oversized cases, brightly coloured bracelets or unusual decorations stand for the wearer's individual style. However, luxurious materials or details such as precious stones also make the ladies' watch an indispensable companion. The models can be worn at evening events, in leisure time or on professional occasions.

Watch size

Which ladies' watch is right for me? A successful purchase also depends on the size. Should the new wristwatch be rather inconspicuous or should it be an eye-catching XXL model? The purchase decision depends on your personal taste, and the watch must also suit the occasion.

Special features of ladies' watches

Additional functions make the ladies' watch a special accessory. In addition to a reliable time display, some ladies' watches also show the current date.
