His And Hers Watches: What They Are And Which to Buy

Here’s a primer on his and hers timepieces.

Have you ever gifted a watch to someone and wished you’d bought it for yourself? Watching someone open a watch on their birthday or at Christmas is torturous when you’re longing to extend your collection. 

With his and hers sets, you can treat yourself and your loved one to a special timepiece. His and her watches also tend to match in style. 

If you and your partner share the same tastes in watches, matching timepieces are a fun and special investment. 

In this article, we’re going to look at some of the best his and hers watches to buy.

What Are His and Hers Watches?

His and hers watches are a matching pair of timepieces that share a similar style. In most cases, the male design is larger in diameter, and the lady’s version is smaller. 

While women’s watches can feature diamond detailing, there are no hard and fast rules that determine one from the other. 

Men with slender wrists may prefer smaller cases, while some women are partial to larger models. But what are his and hers watches worn for? 

Couples watches (another name for them) are a great way to mark a milestone between two loved ones. It may be an anniversary, a birthday, or the day you met. 

Here are some options if you’re considering buying a matching pair of timepieces.
