When cell phones appeared, by which you can always find out the time, many predicted the end of the era of wristwatches. However, this did not happen; on the contrary, for businessmen and people with high social status, watches are considered absolutely necessary accessory, just emphasizing this high status. We are talking, of course, only about the watches of prestigious companies.

Not all women have the opportunity to present Swiss watches, but this is not necessary - today in the world watch market there is fierce competition, and you can always choose a fairly budgetary and, at the same time, high-quality watch as a gift for a man. However, many are afraid to do this for superstitious reasons. Let's see why.

Is it possible to give a watch to a man?

It is possible and even necessary despite the superstition. You can often hear the explanation why you can’t give a watch to a man, based on Chinese superstition, where the hieroglyph for “watch” is the same by writing with hieroglyphs"burial". True, we are not talking about wrist, but about wall or grandfather clocks, so it is quite acceptable to give a watch to a friend or brother, or a loved one.

Another sign says that it is impossible to give a watch to a man with whom you have a relationship, as this will lead to a break - the sharp hands of the clock will break your connection. I wonder if there were any Scientific research? Most likely not, so this is another superstition.

Apparently, globalization has influenced us so much that, in addition to our own superstitions, we have also picked up Chinese

If you consider yourself modern man, but somewhere deep down you are still afraid that the signs will come true, there are two ways out:

• When you give a man a watch, let him give you at least a ruble, then it will not be a gift, but an act of sale, and nothing will threaten your relationship.
• Do you still believe that the sharp hands of the clock will sever your connection? So give an electronic watch without hands, on which time is shown on the display e!

Digital Watch

But, seriously, it's better to give a men's watch for a birthday, which a man can appreciate, because modern wristwatches have long turned into multifunctional gadget with a calendar, an alarm clock, an indicator of the days of the week, a calculator, a notebook and a number of other useful functions.

What criteria to choose men's watches

Many people make a common mistake - they buy cheap imitations of branded watches in an effort to demonstrate their high status. In no case should you do this, since those who understand recognize a fake, and the appearance of such watches is quickly lost: due to the low-quality metal of the case, allergies can occur on the skin and, as a result, contact dermatitis.

It is better to purchase a more modest brand that does not claim to be some famous Swiss brand.

The design of modern men's watches is incredibly diverse. There are brands that emphatically preserve the classic design, there are brands that demonstrate a creative approach in every possible way. This is especially true for youth watches, so give your son a watch in which the original youth design follows fashion trends, is a great solution. Such accessories are usually not too expensive due to the lack of an expensive mechanism, but they look very impressive.

Pedometer watch as a gift

World watch manufacturers with enviable regularity present new models, from the elite to the most affordable, so it is not a problem to choose a good watch as a gift for a man, taking into account his financial capabilities. Classic mechanical, reliable quartz, modern electronic with an extended set of functions - the choice is incredibly wide, but it is necessary to take into account the age and tastes of the man to whom they are intended.

How to choose a good watch for a father?

Mature men most often prefer wristwatches of classic design. In our country, commander's (officer's) watches with their laconic design and army symbols are especially popular. But it’s not enough just to buy a watch - you also need to think about how to give dad a watch in an original way. To create intrigue, a branded box with a watch can be placed in a larger box, it, in turn, in the next one, and so on, until the gift looks very solid and voluminous, then pack it in beautiful wrapping paper, best of all red and gold, tie up the gift ribbon and hand it to your father.

A table clock with spectacular design will also be a wonderful gift and a genuine desktop decoration, and a beautifully packaged desk clock will help you in the store.

Table clock with a fight

There is another type of watch - sandy, which have become more of an element of interior decor and are rarely used in everyday life. It’s not worth giving them to a father, especially an elderly one, since the hourglass, which shows how time is flowing, reminds of the frailty of life.

Greetings, dear reader of my blog. I'm in touch with you, Timur Mustaev. I love to wear wristwatches, and I love it even more when they give me one. They well emphasize the character of a man. Therefore, let's talk today about such a wonderful gift as a watch.

If you are a woman, then you probably had doubts when choosing a gift for your beloved man for some holiday: Birthday, Defender of the Fatherland Day, Valentine's Day, etc.

It is believed that giving a watch is a bad omen. This is complete nonsense and bullshit. I think these superstitions are completely unfounded. What do you think? Let's see if a man wants such a gift at all, and if "yes", then which ones to choose?

Basics

Let's try asking the man. I was given an accurate answer only by those who already have an impressive collection of watches from different manufacturers, styles and corresponding prices. But the majority evaluates wrist devices as “normal / not normal”. This "normal" may include:

• size and shape of the dial, numbers (large/small numbers, round/square dial);
• strap width and material (steel, leather, plastic);
• additional scales (seconds, date, altimeter, pedometer, etc.);
• type (mechanical, quartz, digital);
• additional functions (for example, with or without automatic winding).

As you can see, even, so to speak, a narrow-minded person in this matter may prefer unexpected details, and if you ask so many questions to your beloved man, he will guess about the gift and the effect of surprise will be lost. What to do in this case?

The task is much easier if your loved one already owns a chronometer. In this case, he will casually say that he does not like them and likes them. Then, taking and carefully examining his watch, you can safely go buy another one, not forgetting that you need to take into account his wishes. Again, everything will be limited only to the list above.

Why a lover does not wear a watch: reasons

A difficult task will be faced by ladies whose man does not wear a watch. Firstly, you need to figure out why he doesn’t wear it, and secondly, which ones he can pick up.

Let's think about the reasons:

1. Shopping for a man is very unpleasant, and if at the same time you have to do a lot of fittings, then this outrages him even more, but he still wants a good watch.
2. He has a large number of gadgets: phone, tablet, laptop and work computer. Each gadget has a watch, so he does not consider it necessary to spend more on wrist devices.
3. His work involves dangerous conditions, and finding a chronometer that can be worn is quite difficult.
4. Quality watches are expensive. You have to set aside money.

To begin with, I note that buying a watch for a man as a gift is best not budgetary, but good, i.e. quality. A good chronometer costs money, and you either have to put aside a couple of months for it, or agree with friends to chip in a small amount. So, the guys will not dry their heads what to give to a friend, and you can choose more expensive and beautiful devices.

Watch types

For the most accurate result, let's look at the types of watches by purpose. In parallel, we will discuss the details inherent in a particular type.

So, the clock is:

1. Classic. The shape of the dial is mostly round, oval, square or rectangular. Pointer dial (with or without numbers). There may be an additional scale with the date. Strap leather or metal (white/yellow). Movements: quartz or mechanics;
2. Sports. Dial shape: round or hexagonal, rarely square. The dial is digital or a hybrid of an arrow with a digital one. Colors: any of those that exist in nature, but the most popular are blue, white and black. Strap: leather or flexible polymer (plastic). Mechanism: battery or solar battery. The number of additional scales is not limited;
3. smart watch. The shape of the dial (display) is round or square. Colors: brown, black, white. Others are possible, of course, but they are less in demand. "Smart watch" is a mini-phone that can be put on your hand. They have incredible functionality.

What watch to give a hard worker?

So, we have already sorted it out a bit. And if you have already identified the reasons why your loved one did not buy a watch, then now it will be much easier to pick them up. If there is not much money, then you already know what to do. And what devices to choose for a miner or "STOshnik"? For these guys, the best look is a sports watch.

Manufacturers of sports timepieces make them resistant to extreme conditions. Such watches are also suitable for men who are fond of all kinds of sports and car tuning. If you look closely at the colors of your lover's car, it will be easy to decide on the color of the watch itself and its parts.

What about today's kids?

Smart Watch is ideal for a fashionista or a programmer. The first one always wants to keep up with fashion, and the second, despite the large number of gadgets, will be happy with one that can be worn on the arm, because it is much more convenient than reaching for the phone every time. Smart Watch is also well suited for a busy person, especially if he needs to constantly travel.

Classic

We have the last version of the wristwatch left - the classic. As you probably guessed, this is the best option that suits everyone. If a man does not like to choose and cannot decide what kind of device he would like to receive, the classic will become a universal beginning.

In addition, the classic is considered a more status watch. And if you take a watch as a gift with automatic winding, then it is "eternal". Very often, automatic mechanical watches are worn by grandchildren after their grandfathers. But that's a completely different story.

Or maybe give a real rarity?

Separately, I want to say that if you consider yourself to be lucky people, then you can look for rare watches at different flea markets. Very often, owners sell collectible watches for several hundred dollars, while their real value is more than several thousand conventional units. If you study this issue in great detail, then you can make not just a good gift, but a unique gift that will be with your lover all his life.

Who is your favorite superstitious?

If your man is superstitious, what then? Great if not. And if so, and he is even sometimes afraid to receive the “wrong” gift from you, then the people figured out long before us what to do in such a situation: you just need to ask your loved one for a symbolic payment for a gift, for example, one ruble or a coin of any denomination . It turns out that he is buying a gift from you.

Finally, I would like to say, very relevant today, are personalized gifts. Such gifts are always to the liking of any person, since his name is on the gift, and the gift is very much appreciated. Much more can be found on aliexpress. I go there often! So take a look.

Have a good mood and good luck in choosing a gift for your beloved man! Bye Bye.

All the best to you, Timur Mustaev.

Watches are one of the most spectacular men's accessories. In general, men are not particularly spoiled by accessories, so they have to take their souls out on watches, belts, pens. And that is why a man cannot have too many watches, just like a woman cannot have too many shoes, boots, bags, rings, earrings, bracelets ... well, in general, you understand.

So, the watch will be a very good gift for a man. The main thing is to choose the right model. First you need to decide for what purpose you give the clock:

• everyday;
• classic (under the suit);
• for relax;
• for hobby.

Hobby watches are the easiest. If a man loves scuba diving, we are looking for a diving watch with a water resistance of at least 200M (20BAR), luminous hands and a bezel. If you like traveling, you need to display the time in different time zones, perhaps resistance to shock and scratches, and good water protection. But a lover of morning jogging will not interfere with the presence of a convenient stopwatch in the clock ..

Leisure watches, or you can call them weekend watches, are also not so difficult. A football fan can be presented with a watch with football symbols. But, of course, at the same time, it is desirable to at least roughly navigate the fan's preferences. Fashion-watches with an unusual design are suitable for a fan of fashionable parties. And if a man prefers to take the lady of the heart to the theater on weekends, then he needs a watch for a suit, and that's another story.

Quartz watches, thanks to their classic design, not burdened with unnecessary details, will appeal to the vast majority of men.

We have already told in our blog how to choose a watch for a suit. There is a certain set of rules that it is desirable to follow. But if when choosing a watch for business meetings, you should not frankly neglect generally accepted standards, then when choosing a watch for a leisure suit, for example, for going to the theater and various entertainment events, you can experiment. Here, the variety of models presented in the online store site will be very useful, and with minimal margins, which favorably reflect on the price.

When choosing a casual watch, that is, a watch that a man will wear to work, you need to take into account the specifics of the profession. Hours for a manager and an auto mechanic will be very different.

A few words about the mechanism. If you want to make a gift for the ages - choose mechanics, and if the watch experiences serious stress, falls, scratches - then choose a less durable, but more convenient quartz movement.

Consider such nuances as the figure of a man, the proportions of the wrist. An obese man with a sports watch on his arm will look strange. But, for example, large and durable CASIO PROTREK or G-SHOCK will look good on strong hands.

A watch is not only a stylish accessory, but also an important part of the image, the Shtuchka.ru website will tell you how to choose one that will emphasize its status and personality, because a watch is appropriate in any situation if it matches the status and style of its owner.

But even expensive and fashionable sports watches will only spoil the overall impression if they are worn by a man in a business suit. Yes, and you should not focus on fashion, because as fashion comes and goes, a good watch can serve its owner for years. In some families, they are even passed down as a treasure or family heirloom. Therefore, we can safely call the watch one of the most worthy gifts for a man.

How to choose a watch as a gift for a man?

• Be sure to pay attention to the man's wrist. If the hand is large, then it is better to pick up a massive watch on a wide strap. If the hand is thin, and the man himself is short and frail, then it is better to give preference to a small elegant watch, otherwise they will look like they were taken from someone else's hand.
• When choosing a casual watch as a gift for a man, give preference to a mechanical one. In everyday wear, they will not experience any special loads and will last longer. In addition, mechanical watches can become a family heirloom and have historical value.
• For sports, fishing or tourism, a quartz watch as a gift for a man is better suited. They are more durable and very accurate, besides they do not need additional care. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
• Young people often prefer electronic watches. They are also stronger than mechanical ones and are ideal for an active young man.
• When choosing a watch as a gift, you need to consider the size of your wrist. In order not to be mistaken, it is better to pick up a watch with an adjustable strap. Of course it has to be leather.
• Usually men prefer watches with a light metal case in combination with a dark strap. However, if a man already has a watch, then you can experiment with color. And with what to wear them, the man will pick up himself.

Watches are quite a universal gift, because they can be given for any occasion and they will always come in handy. They can be presented to a friend for graduation, to a husband for an anniversary (while engraving) or to a colleague for an anniversary. In business circles, it is customary to give watches to partners as a sign of reliability and prosperity. However, it is necessary to treat the choice of a model wisely, taking into account the individual characteristics of a man and his interests.

A watch as a gift for a man is better to present one that fits most of his wardrobe.

They will also be a good gift, you can read about how to pick them up on our website.

Wristwatches vary in styles:

1. Classic. These watches are suitable both for suits, which is suitable for businessmen, and for any other clothes.
2. Casual. The casual style has recently come into fashion and is combined with almost all types of clothing, besides, it suits many men.
3. Hours for rest. Watches for lovers of an active lifestyle. These are sports or travel watches (mainly well-known sports brands).
4. "Fashion". Fashion watches of famous brands. They are worn with fashionable clothes to go to clubs, bars and other fashionable places.

It is worth noting that if a man is not a fan of clubs, but works mainly in jeans, he does not need to give classic or fashion brand watches, which are usually worn for going to public nightclubs. When choosing a watch as a gift for a man, it is necessary to take into account his lifestyle and his working environment.

A watch as a gift to a man: signs

Many women are afraid to give watches to men, listening to the advice of mothers and grandmothers. As signs say, choosing a watch as a gift for a man, you doom your relationship to quarrels and an early break. However, there are other signs that say that the person who received the watch as a gift will definitely be lucky in the near future. There was an interesting case when a well-known Italian radio station presented a watch to the Pope. It is unlikely that they would risk their reputation by admitting the idea that this gift could bring trouble. However, if you are still afraid of the “consequences” and believe in bad omens, then you can find a way out of this situation. The person to whom you want to present the watch must pay a nominal fee for it. A couple of rubles will be enough so that the bad omen does not work. Give and signs will not have any effect on the fate of your relationship if the gift is given from a pure heart and with really good intentions.

Currently, in our country you can buy almost any brand of watches. Or order online. The well-known Swiss watches are so high quality and durable that they are still one of the most desired gifts in the world today. However, depending on your capabilities and the needs of the gifted man, you can choose the best watch as a gift for a man absolutely for every taste and in any price category.
