How to Buy a Sports Watch as a Gift

From complicated watches made for divers or trekkers to fashionable watches that do a bit more than tell time, sports watches are all the rage.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Gift certificate
  • Sports watches
  • Tissue paper
  • Gift bag
  • Gift card
  • Gift bow
  • Wrapping paper
  1. Step 1

    Choose a sports watch with basic features if you're not buying it for a specific sport. These include alarm(s), water resistance, a timer or stopwatch function, an illuminator and the original band.

  2. Step 2

    Opt for more advanced features if you know they will be used by the wearer. These can include altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass and data-link features.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a sport-specific watch if you know what sports the recipient enjoys. These include specialized watches for divers, runners and surfers.

  4. Step 4

    Look for a man's or a woman's watch, whichever is appropriate.

  5. Step 5

    Be sure the band will fit comfortably around the person's wrist. It should be somewhat adjustable.

  6. Step 6

    Check the guarantee and return policies so that the watch can be returned if another model is desired.

  7. Step 7

    Give a gift certificate, if you're not sure which model the recipient would like. Trying to choose from such a large selection of sports watches by different manufacturers can be mind-boggling.

Tips & Warnings
  • The watch comes with an original band, but you might enclose a spare--watchbands do wear out, and new ones are sometimes hard to find for specialty watches.
  • Expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a top-quality sports watch.
