When do you need his and hers watches?
A couple watch set is not something that you search for every day.
Of course, it is a great gift – but the conditions have to be right for the present to make sense in the first place.
So, in what cases should you go for the couple watches and be sure that they will fit right in? Here are some pointers for you:
Engagement
It is customary for the man to give the woman an engagement ring. However, a little-known tradition that is quickly fading into oblivion these days is that of the engagement watch.
It doesn't have to happen on the same day as the engagement since this usually comes as a surprise. At some point, though, it is expected that the other partner gets an engagement watch.
Spice things up with nice matching watches that add even more style and class to the present.
Graduation/ Promotion
Is your partner graduating college, advanced school, getting promoted at work or just making any other professional/ career changes in their lives?
Now is the best time to get them a watch that marks the moment in their lives.
Find watches made specifically for couples so that you can share in the moment with them also. Such a subtle, fine touch will make them feel special – and you would be at the heart of all their happiness that day and beyond.
Random Surprise
Who said there has to be an occasion before you can surprise your partner?
Well, not us.
Buying something for your partner, especially if it would make them feel good, is a no-brainer. We are not one for going out of your budget range either, so we make our watches as affordably priced as possible while retaining the luxury style and appeal.
Choose any of the couple watches that we carry at Nordgreen to appreciate your partner for all their love, care and commitment. When it looks like you don't have the perfect present to let them know how much they mean to you, appreciate such couple timepieces that you can both share in.
Picking the Right His and Hers Watch
The quality of your gift is highly important also, so you want to pick the right thing.
There are a lot of couple watches out there that just have the name slapped on for branding and sales. Buying those would defeat the purpose of giving the watch in the first place.
So that you never make the wrong buying decision, here are some factors to give consideration.
Design
Search for those line-ups that are specifically made as couple watches.
Don't go for designs that were made independently, only looking like they could pass as couple watches. Instead, search watch collections that are designed for both men and women for the best effect.
Once you get that down, move on to the next item on the checklist below.
Size
Men have bigger wrists than women on average. That might differ from one couple to the other, but this will most likely be the main trend.
With that in mind, you should know that you are not getting watches in the same design for yourself and your partner.
If you want to keep the gift a surprise, make sure you know what your partner's wrist dimension is. One good thing with stainless steel watches is that you can usually adjust the strap to fit the wrist of the wearer.
The watch display diameter is equally important. After all, you don't want something that is either too small against their wrists – or too big/ free that it moves around sloppily.
Materials of Make
If you have done some business with Nordgreen in the past, you already know that we are big on making sure we use the right materials on our watches.
Stainless Steel
This starts from the hypoallergenic stainless steel material employed on the watch case. Besides protecting the glass crystal, this premium material also brings that feeling of luxury and quality that you deserve on your watches.
Sapphire Glass Crystal
We move on to the scratch-resistant sapphire glass crystal, which protects the inner dial. Depending on the watch, we might choose to go with different dial designs.
Japanese Quartz Movement
Finally, we employ the award-wining, high-functioning Japanese Miyota quartz movement. This quartz movement does not only ensure longevity in watch operation but also boosts the ease of use and maintenance of the watch.
Straps
Not all straps are created equally.
Take that from people who have not only made many amazing straps that our customers love but have sold a ton of them too.
When choosing a bracelet or strap to go with your his and hers watches, make sure you think about the purpose of the watch too.
For example:
-
Business watches – these watches will most likely pair with a suit or other formal wear. Choose a bracelet to go with the watch here.
-
Outdoor watches – you need a quartz watch that can stand up to abuse and not fail. That is what we made our nylon and rubber straps for.
-
Dress watches – you can choose to go the bracelet way again or shop for leather straps instead.
As you can see, the best strap for your watch is dependent on what you want it for. The best part is that you can buy replacement watch straps from us to get more out of your watches.
So, you can now select the same watch in multiple cases – and it comes out on top in all cases.
Colour
One of the biggest advantages that we offer couples looking for matching watch set options from us is the colour option.
From the watch case itself to the straps, you have several colour options to choose from. That means you can come for the same couple watch that is uniquely tailored to the needs of each partner.
How beautiful is that?
For the watch case, we allow you to explore what any silver, gunmetal (a refined version of the common black hue) and gold-tone hold for you. We step things up with a rose gold hue which offers a professional pinkish hue for women who want the pink – and an escape from the usual gold tone for men who want that experience.
Looking inside the crystal, you can usually get the dial colour in either white/ silver or black. On some of our watches, we leave the option for a bright navy-blue hue. Perhaps the most interesting is the mother of pearl dial, which just mesmerises you with every turn and twist.
Pair that with the perfect colour option on the watch band. Whether you are going with rubber, metal, leather or nylon, we have an array of colours for you.
You're used to black, silver, gold and rose gold, so we make sure to bring that. We step things up with white, green, patina grey and such other unconventional options across the leather and nylon bands.
