Watches are a timeless accessory—even smartphones weren’t able to boot them into extinction. They’re still going strong. If you want to take mini-breaks from your phone and its constant notifications or feel more professional, a watch can be a fun accessory to add to your jewelry drawer.
If you aren’t big on wearing bracelets, because you find them uncomfortable and unwieldy, you’ll find that wearing a watch is a different experience. Unlike other bracelets, watches fit closely around your wrist, so you’ll barely notice that you’re wearing it.
Just because you want a watch doesn’t mean that it’s going to look like your mother’s or grandmother’s. There are plenty of trendy and cool watches for younger women—almost too many to choose from. Once you start to do some digging, it might seem like there’s an overwhelming amount of watches on the Internet from all of the brands under the sun. How do you pick a durable, reliable watch whose battery won’t die upon receiving it that also fits your personal style?
We cut out the middle-man and sifted through timepieces to find the best women’s watches for you. We picked three very different options for every sense of style. Whether you’re a classic gal who prefers neutrals or a trendsetter who wants your bold highlighter-color watch to be your signature accessory, we’ve got you covered.
