21 Highly Giftable Watches At Every Price Point
Everything from Timex to Rolex.
The hunt for memorable, semi-affordable holiday gifts is well underway for some of the more prepared folks among us, and while we’ll be bringing you much more specific gifting moments in the future, it’s time to dig into a classic gift: a timepiece. While some people think watches are reserved for truly special occasions, the holidays are as good a time as any to spend a little more on your bestie, sister, mom, niece, whoever, and give them the gift of time.
It’s not necessary to bust out the Amex on a five-digit piece (we’re all not Kardashian-Jenners), and we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite brands, including Rolex — a favorite of Real Housewife NeNe Leakes, who is gifted a watch by a suitor in an unforgettable, countlessly memed scene — Swatch, Movado, and more. Our tireless scouring of the market means there’s a price and style for everyone, and since we spend most of our days looking at jewelry and watches, we know a thing or two about the piece that will make the price tag worth it. Below, see all 21 picks from our list.
