Carol, my colleague at the hospital was leaving her job to be home for her two kids. A few of us at the hospital wanted to give her a going away present – it was to be a wrist watch. I was entrusted the task of getting it. Searching online for a suitable timepiece set me thinking: what does a woman look for in a watch? I’m quite sure it’s not the dainty or petite watch which was traditionally the style for women’s watches.
When we talk of women’s watches they are stereotyped as being dainty and glitzy, petite and feminine timepieces. And, that’s because traditionally, women’s watches have been dainty and small. The modern day woman however, has dispelled this cliched notion. Petite and dainty watches may not be as popular as they once were. Today, women go for the off-beat styles to express their unique personalities. Tiny watches are no longer as popular as they were in the past.
From what I see around me, many women prefer to wear somewhat large-dialled watches that often get a lot of attention in social circles. Personally, I prefer a practical timepiece that allows me to read the time at a glance without having to squint at the dial. Renowned fashion watch brands have taken note of this trend and create timepieces appealing to the woman of today.
Michael Kors is one of the most sought-after brands in the fashion industry – the brand focuses on women’s fashion accessories and are the leaders in producing high-end luxury items including wrist watches. Zeta Watches ( https://www.zetawatches.com ), the well-known American online watch store had an amazing collection of Michael Kors watches. Several models from the women’s collection were jewellery styled pieces with diamond accents, a few were giftsets, complete with bracelets and additional straps. There were several decent fashion watches for the gents too.
For Carol, I selected the Michael Kors Whitney Diamond Accents Quartz MK1023 Women’s Watch, https://www.zetawatches.com/shop/michael-kors-whitney-diamond-accents-quartz-mk1023-with-gift-set-womens-watch/ . It came as a gift set including a pretty diamond-accented bracelet. The two-toned stainless steel bracelet perfectly matched a stainless steel case studded with diamond accents around the bezel. The silver-coloured dial was uncluttered and neat with the hands and markers in rose gold tint. With mineral crystal and a solid case back, this was a robust watch.
About 33mm case diameter made it a decent-sized watch for Carol. The clean and legible dial was what attracted me. Additionally, it has 50 meters water resistance which is a useful feature. Besides, this watch came in a convenient gift set which made it all the more suitable as Carol’s going-away present. The watch arrived in a couple of days of ordering and we plan to present it to Carol on her last day at work next week.
