Buying a Wristwatch For Christmas 2018

There are less than 90 days until Christmas and it’s the time of year that we’re all deciding which presents our friends and family would love! Of course, most of our friends will end up with a pair of festive socks – but for those special people in our life that might not quite be enough.

It’s not always easy to decide what we should buy for those special people in our lives because there are so many options out there. Would they love some new technology, something fashionable or something a little more sentimental. Too often people overlook a present which can be all 3 of these things – a brand new wristwatch for Christmas!

What Kind of Wristwatch Should You Buy

Everyone has a different taste in wristwatches so you need to make sure that you know what kind of wrist watch the special person in your life will like! Do they love the latest technology or are they into traditional styles – are they into gold and silver or would they prefer a leather strap? You also need to find out whether they have a favourite brand – you don’t want to buy a committed Mondaine buyer a Seiko watch, no matter how nice it is. If you don’t know, now is a good time to start listening for some hints about what they would love to have on their wrist!

But more than style, quite possibly the most important thing to consider is what they are going to use their wristwatch for. Do they just want something to go with their favourite outfit or do they love the greatest complications? Maybe they want to lose a bit of weight and a stylish watch which can help them track their fitness may be what they’re looking for. Either way, if you don’t know then that lovingly bought gift might go down about as well as a hard rock band on last night at the proms!

It’s also worth bearing in mind whether they just like watches or whether they know everything about wristwatches. Because if they’re the kind of person who knows all the ins and outs of luxury watches then it’s time to do a bit of digging about what they want. Are they happy with a luxury watch which works amazing but may have a quartz movement or are they all about the mechanical watches. You certainly don’t want to spend the whole of Christmas day listening to a lecture about why quartz watches are worthless (even though they’re more accurate than mechanical ones!) Because that really has the potential to ruin Christmas dinner!

When to Buy a Wristwatch for Christmas

This last three months of the year is the time of year that most people like to start buying their Christmas presents. If you know exactly what watch they want then there is no time like the present to make sure that you get hold of one. Everyone knows someone who waited till the last minute to pick a present up (or tried to pick it up check on Black Friday) and they were all sold out. And nobody wants to buy someone second best for a Christmas present!

If you’re buying one this early then make sure that the shop you buy it from has already started the Christmas returns period. Nobody wants to realise they’ve picked up the wrong watch (if your loved one is really specific about what they want) when they can’t return it and swap it for a new one. That will really ruin your well thought out Christmas present. The Christmas returns period has started here at First Class Watches, so if the watch you need to buy is in stock then you can go buy it right now and enjoy free returns up until January 16th!

But if you’re unsure then the good news is that there is a lot of time to find out exactly what wristwatch they want for Christmas! And you can receive this watch with free UK delivery when you head over to the main First Class Watches right now.
