What should you pay attention to when you are going to buy a women’s watch?

1. Diameter

The diameter (diameter) of the watch is important for both the look and fit. A small ladies watch (between 28 and 34 mm) is elegant and refined, perfect for ladies with a wrist size up to about 14 cm. Keep in mind that a small dial is sometimes more difficult to read. In the Hugo Boss collection you will find several graceful, small ‘cocktail’ watches.

A larger ladies watch (from 36 mm) is suitable for ladies with a wrist size from 14 cm. This size watch stands out more, is more readable and you see more often with casual and sporty watches. The multi-function ‘Boyfriend’ watches from Tommy Hilfiger generally have a format up to 42 mm.

More information about which size watch is suitable for you, can you find in our article “How do you measure your watch?”

2. Color and style

Neutral colors are the most sought after with women’s watches, because they fit best with all clothing. The most popular colors are therefore gold, silver, rose gold, black and white. In addition, most brands market watches every season that match the fashion colors at the time. In 2025 these are especially soft colors such as light blue, saliegoorden and sand tones. Do you want to make a statement or a striking watch? Then choose a distinct color such as red, purple or green.

The color of the watch must of course also match the style of your watch. For example, the Bering brand is completely minimalist, while the Boliday line of ICE-Watch is pronounced and daring. Do you want to look for a watch on style instead of color? Then take a look at our ‘Shop the Style’ page.

3. Material tire and cupboard

The choice of material is also important with a women’s watch. Stainless steel is solid and timeless, but also makes the watch heavier. A leather band is classic, but also more sensitive to wear. Fortunately, there are many nice watch straps available nowadays that are easy to change. This way you adjust the watch to your outfit or the opportunity.

In the Casio Vintage line you will find many classic and retro watches that fit completely into the current fashion image. For those who prefer a lightweight watch or are allergic to nickel, the choice of a titanium watch or a watch made of plastic is ideal. The Boccia brand offers titanium watches for women and women in all styles and sizes.

4. Watch functions: what are you going to use the watch for?

Before purchasing a ladies watch, it is good to think about the functions you need. What are you planning to do with your watch: swimming, running, fitness? Then take a look at the sports watches or consider the purchase of a smartwatch. Do you want to be able to swim with the watch? Then choose a watertightness of at least 10 ATM (100 meters).
