(<--Picture origins from Atomchip.com)

Step 1

Consider your options: gold, white gold, silver, platinum, stainless steel, leather bands, etc. Each has its own style and makes its own statement. Take the time to choose the one most fitting for the recipient.

Step 2

Select a basic watch style. General watch types include the mechanical wind-up types, self-winding and quartz, which are powered by batteries.

Step 3

Look for extra features, such as a built-in calendar, an appointment alarm, a heartbeat monitor, etc. Have fun customizing the watch to the recipient's specific lifestyle.

Step 4

Search custom design shops for one-of-a-kind styles that make an unforgettable statement. Unlike watches from standard, well-known watch designers, these precious pieces will be remembered for being unique.

Step 5

Shop only within your price range. Watches can run upward of $10,000, so set a range first and then limit your shopping to your budget.
