So, you’ve forgotten your anniversary for the nth time. Or, you had promised her you would join her for the weekend camping with friends in the Rockies but didn’t remember it until the weekend had passed. As you get into guilt mode, you remember all those times you had been less the perfect boyfriend she thought you were when you were just starting out. She had endured your shortcomings for years, but now she would no longer talk to you.

As you scramble for ways to express your apologies and try to win her back, you think of a dozen approaches to soften her heart. As much as the thought of making yet another promise to change makes you wince, you know that has to be included in your strategy. Next, what to give her? Traditional roses and chocolates come to mind. How about giving something that will last? A nice red dress or a pair of Manolo Blahniks, perhaps?

Well, how about giving ladies watches a thought? You know why? We’re pretty sure all women adore roses and chocolates, but let’s give you a few reasons why you should try to do better than that.

First, roses wilt. Oh, yeah, you would say, “well, she can still keep those dried roses.” Sure thing, but it would be best if you gave her something that would still look the same a year or two later as when you had first bought it.

Second, is she on a diet? Maybe she’s been swimming dozens of laps daily in an attempt to trim her figure. If so, forget those chocolates! She might think you’re out to make her fat so you can replace her with those svelte and nubile girls (a woman’s mind is capable of going a thousand miles an hour!).

Of course, you can still give her roses, but perhaps accompany it with something that lasts. By doing so, you invest in something that will remind her of you for years, even decades down the road. If she wears it, then that’s another bonus for you, because you will be able to gauge just how much she likes and values the gift, and of course, the giver.

This is where giving elegant Swiss womens watches comes in as a great idea. A timepiece is not only a highly functional piece of gadget; it’s a fashion accessory, too! She can pair it up with trendy outfits. No matter how you look at it, a cool outfit is never complete without some form of accessories. Now, some women are not very fond of earrings, necklaces, bracelets or bangles because they feel somewhat a little overdressed. They need the kind of accessory that is there not just for the sheer beauty of it, but because it plays an important function in their day-to-day activities. That said, seldom will you find a woman who would say no to a watch!

When buying a wristwatch for your ladylove, it’s imperative that you choose one that matches her personality. Don’t just buy randomly, mister! If you’ve been with her long enough, we are pretty sure you have already gained valuable insights into her personality. Is she the gregarious, flashy, fashion plate type, or is she the quiet, reserved type? If it’s the former, you would do well to pick watches that are very aesthetically appealing. She may want to experiment with those that have colorful face and straps, for instance.

If she’s the latter type, choose wrist watches that have a streamlined look. No fancy odd-shaped watches for this type, please.

If she’s the outdoorsy soul (running, mountain climbing, swimming, diving, rowing, surfing, sailing, etc.), pick sports watches instead. For example, you may opt for a scratch-proof watch equipped with 45 laps of memory storage, dual countdown timers, and superb water resistance of 100 meters.

Then, to tell her how sorry you are and that you would like for the two of you to get back together soon, accompany the watch with a note that says, “It’s about TIME we kiss and make up.”

And wait, while you’re at it, maybe you yourself need a brand new watch to keep you on time for those dates.
