By Robert Cooksey

Someone special to you has an occasion coming soon that requires a nice gift. Give him or her the gift of time - a watch. We often don't think about it but this is a great gift. You don't have to choose a watch that is ordinary or go over our budget to find a great watch that matches the person you are giving it to. For a woman, you can choose a beautifully feminine jewelry style watch and for a man, there are many designs in silver watches for many different interests such as sports and hobbies. No matter what type of person you need a gift for, you can find a watch that will be a welcome gift.

A fishing watch is perfect for that special fisherman in your life. Sturdy and waterproof, they are also not bulky in appearance. Some of these watches are slick and fashionable enough to wear out on the town. There are many choices ranging from basic to more advanced. Fishing watches are a wonderful choice whether your fisherman wants to have such advanced options as fish finders, depth gauges and alarms, or just wants to see what time it is when he catches the big one.

Everything old is new again and that includes silver and brass pocket watches. If you need a gift for the groomsmen at your wedding or a friend or relative, pocket watches are a great way to go. Consider having the watches engraved. You can have names, dates, short verses or sayings engraved, even an image if you want. Pocket watches should definitely be a consideration when choosing gifts for the men in your life.

Jewelry watches are excellent presents for women who enjoy functional jewelry. Made like a bracelet, ring, or even a pendant, these are tiny watches made in silver, gold, or other jewelry metals. They might have precious or semi-precious stones set in them, be enameled, or have filigree or other ornate work.

Combine jewelry with a watch and you have a gift that is much than either by itself. With so many choices, you won't have any trouble finding just the right one for giving on a birthday, anniversary, Valentine's Day or any other occasion.

One great gift idea for relatives is a photo watch. A small photo can be put on the watch face and make a wonderful reminder of a loved one. Kids are popular photo choices but many other options can also be chosen for photo watches. Other relatives, pets and artsy photos are also good choices. The reasonable pricing on photo watches makes them affordable gifts.

For that lover of gadgets you need to find a great gift for, consider a chronograph with many features including a stopwatch among others. Know someone who is interested in tracking the tides?
