You know her birthday, Valentine’s Day, or even your anniversary is coming up. Or you simply want to express admiration and love, just because. That’s all the more reason you’ll want to choose the perfect gift. Choosing jewelry is tricky—but it’s worth the effort. Today we’ll guide you through the most popular women’s watches that, in our view, are ideal for just such an occasion. A gift of love.

Whatever watch you choose, it will always feel more personal with an engraving. Put some thought into it. Here’s a little inspiration for how it can look:

Classics you can’t go wrong with

If you’re not sure about her style, our advice is to reach for minimalist classics: a design that’s simple and sized to flatter any wrist.

[[182417]]

It’s no surprise many brands offer just such a model. As inspiration, we suggest three brands across different price points.

[[182419]]

First up is fashion brand Festina, whose Boyfriend model has been a clear bestseller for years: refined, pleasantly slim, and budget-friendly.

[[182416]]

The second is Swiss brand Tissot. Its Everytime is a perfect watch for the modern, elegant woman.

[[231181]]

It also features a sapphire crystal, a storied Swiss pedigree, and a renowned watchmaking name—above all, a timeless design.

[[230295]]

The same goes for the third big name, Longines. The model name La Grande Classique says it all.

[[292826]]

The charm lies not only in an ageless design, but also in the incredibly slim case and meticulous finishing any woman will appreciate. Choose gold, rose gold, or opt for tried-and-true stainless steel. You simply can’t miss here.

Bestsellers for fashion lovers

For women who love famous fashion labels and have a wardrobe full of handbags, heels, and earrings, the right gift is a watch cut from the same cloth. Think brands like Guess and Michael Kors. These models are among our bestsellers:

[[176336]]

Minimalist yet instantly recognizable, the Guess Imprint. The black-and-gold combination is timeless and looks elegant. The same goes for the Guess Supernova. On the opposite side of the design spectrum sits a bold silver model set with crystals.

[[176334]]

If we could choose just one Guess, it would be the gold, square model with a double bracelet—a true fashion statement.

[[250451]]

From designer label Michael Kors, we’ll highlight at least two of the most popular pieces. First, the bold gold Ritz—beautifully embellished for women who want a stronger wrist presence and favor gold accessories.

[[178090]]

The second is the more delicate Pyper, mixing two metal tones, crystals, and the iconic MK logo on the dial.

[[230533]]

Hearts, from the heart

Some brands truly play with the language of love—and put their hearts into it. You might find it a touch kitschy, but these models consistently top the popularity charts.

[[249757]]

Fashion label Guess leans into the motif most. The Lovey has been a hit in both gold and silver. It’s small, delicate, and elegant, with a romantic undertone picked out in tiny crystals that’s impossible to miss.

[[250245]]

The second is the romantic Guess Three Of Hearts. A heart motif and colored crystals make it irresistibly charming.

[[249760]]

But it’s not over the top—the color palette is balanced by a minimalist dial. You can choose it in silver or gold, depending on her preference. In our experience, it delights younger women in particular.

[[249761]]

Swiss brand Wenger opted for a subtle heart outline on the dial set with three Swarovski crystals. The Donnisima also boasts 100 m water resistance and a sapphire-coated mineral crystal, making it perfect for everyday wear—ideal for the practical woman with a romantic soul.

[[213277]]

And one more example from JVD: the text spells out “I love you” in many world languages.

[[230787]]

Small watches, big impact

How better to express love than with a watch called Lovely? Tissot created the Lovely Square collection—ideal as a jewelry-like gift.

[[179846]]

They’re truly petite, purely elegant, and available in many versions, so you can choose silver, gold, or rose-gold accents. Some models come as sets with additional straps, including a Valentine’s edition in a heart-shaped box.

[[179847]]

If you want to make an even bigger impression, go for the diamond-set version. This model flatters women regardless of age or wrist size, and its style suits anyone with an elegant wardrobe.

Watches with jewelry

Watches pair beautifully with other jewelry. Bering focuses on sets where a watch is perfectly matched to a complementary piece.

This way, you delight her twice. To showcase the synergy, we picked the models most often chosen by our customers. First, these petite gold-tone watches with a gold bracelet.

[[205549]]

If you’re unsure whether she prefers gold or silver, a two-tone model is a lifesaver—here paired with a silver bracelet featuring a gold heart.

[[226761]]

The same goes for a two-tone scheme in rose gold, which has been riding high in popularity in recent years.

[[226760]]

[[M2640]]

Among the silver options, this minimalist Bering with a dial in the ever-popular Tiffany blue stands out. Choose it for a woman who favors a clean, pared-back style but always elevates it with a thoughtful piece or accessory.

Proof you really know her

If you think a watch has to cost a fortune to make her happy, let us correct that. What matters most is that the gift resonates with who she is—reflecting her personality, interests, and style. Not an easy task, but who would know her better than you?

If she loves art, paintings, unconventional designs and accessories, and has that ethereal aura, the Swatch The Scarlet Sunset with a Turner motif is almost a sure bet. An utterly captivating work, tastefully rendered on the dial.

[[250293]]

In the Swatch New Gent collection, you can choose from many more—Degas, Klee, or Monet, to name a few. Want a dose of extravagance and vivid color? Then you need these neon Swatches: ultra-thin, ultra-playful, and ultra-popular.

[[252682]]

If she’s into watches, she’ll appreciate having one of the most popular models from Japanese brand Citizen Tsuyosa in her collection. We recommend the smaller size in baby blue or timeless powder pink.

[[270945]]

[[M6008]]

For nonconformist women who aren’t afraid of originality and prefer to craft their own style, pick something outside the usual labels—say, a watch worn as a pendant.

[[239797]]

In our experience, the Hamilton Ventura has a similar effect. You might remember it from the Men in Black films—it’s a design icon. Despite the unconventional case shape, it remains elegant, and the fact that it’s been around since the 1970s speaks to its timelessness.

[[241230]]

[[M2007]]

Or opt for a Rado model created in collaboration with famed fashion designer Marina Hoermanseder, who dresses icons like Lady Gaga. We’re well into higher price territory here, but a closer look at the watch makes it clear the price is more than justified.

[[262004]]

For truly discerning women

A gift for a major anniversary or birthday—or simply for women with refined taste who value quality over quantity. For them, choose watches from established watchmaking brands. Our tips?

We’ll start with a Rado set with diamonds and mother-of-pearl, but above all featuring a stunning view of the movement through the caseback and a ceramic bracelet. Elegance, a showcase of watchmaking craft, and a perfect pairing for, say, pearl earrings.

[[261968]]

Our second recommendation is a bestseller in the mid-range: Certina. The Aqua collection model is not only beautiful, feminine, and elegant, but also practical. With high water resistance, a full stainless-steel build, and a sapphire crystal, it’s ideal for a woman who doesn’t want to worry about when to take her watch off.

[[216055]]

For women who are always impeccably put together, whose wardrobes epitomize elegance and whose accessories are chosen with utmost care, you need something purely classic. Something that doesn’t just mirror the current trend, but is wholly immune to passing fads. Fortunately, that’s exactly what Longines DolceVita offers—in any execution, size, or colorway. The most versatile is, of course, classic silver.

[[292472]]

This is how perfectly it wears on the wrist:

[[M5973]]

You can never go wrong with flowers. Do you know a woman who would be upset to receive a gorgeous bouquet of roses? The same logic applies to Mido Rainflower.

[[240888]]

Our pick is this favorite with floral luminescence. A subtly feminine design that works with mother-of-pearl and certified diamonds.

Inside beats a mechanical heart, and the sensual elegance is completed by a dark pink leather strap. Unlike flowers, Mido Rainflower won’t wilt.

[[M4386]]

For women who love luxury accessories but also appreciate a more versatile design (perhaps they already own a watch or two, or you need something stylistically neutral), our clear recommendation is the Frederique Constant Highlife. The way it sits on any wrist, its finishing and design are sensational—backed by a brand that keeps proving it knows exactly what it’s doing.

[[242751]]

[[M4385]]

And of course, we have an option for those seeking something purely sporty yet distinctly feminine: the Oris Aquis. A watch with a gorgeous dial shade, sporty spirit and specs, from one of the most original traditional brands on the market.

Eliška’s editorial pick

Which watch would our colleague Eliška recommend? She chose the kind that would delight her personally.

“What caught my eye right away was the ladies’ Orient Star Keshiki. Why would I want it? Firstly, I like this brand and I know anything from them will be reliably high quality, with an in-house movement, beautiful finishing, solid materials, and so on—that’s all here.

[[272158]]

But I won’t lie—on its own that has never been enough to make me truly want a watch. And that’s where the dial takes the stage. It’s just so beautiful! The inspiration is a snowy nightscape bathed in starlight and moonlight. You couldn’t wish for anything more romantic from a watch.”

That was a cross-section of styles, designs, and price segments for women’s models that work as declarations of love. Find more inspiration in our annual selections:
