What Attracts a Woman to a Watch?

Whether you are a soccer mom or the CEO of a major corporation, if you're a woman…you shop. We gals spend much of our spare time at the mall, searching through items that we don't even need, but we want. We love shoes, handbags, and especially womens watches, but more than the accessory, we love the deal. Most women prefer to buy watches on sale, mostly because we like to own more than one. When selecting a new timepiece, most of us will first think about our personal taste. We consider our current wardrobe and even the season of the year. We not only look at prices, but if we're smart, we set a budget and stick to it.

Women are drawn to beautiful things and so it is a given that the look of a watch will be the first factor that catches our eye and captures our attention, but what exactly is it that we look for?

• Color has a lot of impact on many of our decisions, even when buying watches. Today there are collections in every color of the rainbow, so it's easy to find our favorite hue. Whether you want a saturation of color or just a hint…there is a watch out there for you. Michele produces many colorful models with feminine appeal, as does Fruitz and other designer brands.

• Pattern is another key element. Womens timepieces come in an array of textures and patterns. The pattern may be the backdrop for the dial or it might be revealed on the strap, in either case this added touch gives the piece an individual and unique look.

• You can't ignore the size of a womens watch. Size makes such an impact in a timepiece. Lots of women's lines today are what we like to call "super-sized". These collections are full of signature pieces that make a bold statement. In most cases, these watches turn out to be the only accessory a woman will wear.

Women aren't as much into the functionality of a watch as men are. We simply don't need that many features. We are much more concerned with the overall look of the piece. Of course, we expect accuracy, but we kind of take that factor for granted. It's not that we girls are superficial…we do care about quality; we just want it to be wrapped in a pretty package.
