Consider your options: gold, white gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, leather bands, etc.
Each of these options has its own style and makes its own statement. Take the time to choose the one most fitting for the recipient.
Select a basic watch style. General watch types include the mechanical wind-up types, self-winding and quartz, which are powered by batteries.
Look for extra features, such as a built-in calendar, an appointment alarm, a heartbeat monitor, etc. Have fun customizing the watch to the recipient's specific lifestyle.
Shop only within your price range, watches can run upward of $10,000, so set a range first and then limit your shopping to your budget.
From complicated watches made for divers or trekkers to fashionable watches that do a bit more than tell time, sports watches are all the rage.
Choose a sports watch with basic features if you're not buying it for a specific sport. These include alarm(s), water resistance, a timer or stopwatch function, an illuminator and the original band.
Opt for more advanced features if you know they will be used by the wearer. These can include altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass and data-link features.
Choose a sport-specific watch if you know what sports the recipient enjoys. These include specialized watches for divers, runners, surfers, etc.
Be sure the band will fit comfortably around the person's wrist. It should be somewhat adjustable.
Check the guarantee and return policies so that the watch can be returned if another model is desired.
Set the watch to the correct time prior to wrapping.
If the watch is quartz, include an extra battery wrapped as a present topper.
