Hi there, watch enthusiast!
We would like to go in the deep with some differences between watches. We are not discussing those encrusted in diamonds and displaying rainbow colors on the dial. It is evident that such watches are for the sensible and subtle gender, the women. On the contrary, we want to take a closer look at those watches that look masculine, even though we see them on a tender wrist of a lady. In addition, we will cover those elegant, tiny, and smooth watches on a bold masculine wrist. How to spot the difference? There are so many cases where women fall in love with men’s watches and would like to wear them as well. But, the label on the box indicates “Men watch”. Why aren’t they unisex? And how to detect a unisex timepiece when there is no label with that specification?
How to realize whether a watch is men’s or a women’s?
The strap
You can begin with the strap. In most cases, women opt for the pale tones of the strap. Women usually buy watches that would perfectly combine with their outfits. Therefore, the strap can be either natural brown, white, or pale rose. In addition, women’s straps are usually thinner in comparison to men’s straps. Manufacturers make them thinner to highlight the tenderness of the lady’s wrist. In addition, the length is also an indicator. Men’s wrist is larger in most cases. Therefore, manufacturers make sure that the strap will fit the hand and make the bands much longer compared to the women’s version.
You will probably ask: what about the bracelet watch? We already know that big watch brands and not only traditionally propose leather strap watches and bracelet watches. Here you are absolutely right. But if you pay attention to the refinement of the bracelet, you will see that female watches are more accurate in shapes and forms. Men’s bracelets, in contrast, look strict and drive at any single link of the bracelet.
Dimensions
In the same context, you can pay attention to the dimension of the case. Male watches usually come with a wider case. In addition to the width, the thickness is also important. Since men’s watches are equipped with more complications, these tend to have some mm more in thickness, in comparison to the female version. Some brands release complicated watches for women too. And even though the case looks the same in both male and female versions, pay attention to the length and width of the strap. Remember that women’s watches have the role to speak about a woman’s personality through their outlandish design, rather than carry heavy functionality. This is why female watches almost always are slightly smaller in all parts of the timepiece.
The dimensions of the dial should also be taken into account. Since men’s watches include a lot of indexes, especially the Pilot and Driver series, these have to be large, wide, and clear. Their bezels are also broad and wide since they carry additional speed indexes that have to be clearly legible. In contrast, women’s watches might be similarly large in the dial, but rarely wide in the bezel. Their bezel traditionally looks smooth, gentle, subtle, and maximally feminine.
Features
Recently, we observe the Rolex, Breitling, and Patek Philippe brands equip men’s watches with complicated features and overall architecture. These can even include solar charging mechanisms, apart from the traditional chronometers or tachometers. The more complex the architecture of the watch, the more “mannish” it is. For a man timepiece, the complexity in the movement and additional features and indexes is the main attraction. Only after those complicated features, comes the design relevance. It is a true talent of the big brands to create such outstanding watches from a design point of view. However, the design is in second place, after the grandeur of the architectural complexity.
In contrast, the complicated movement and operations architecture is not the main attractiveness spotter in a woman’s watch. The design is always in the first place. Therefore, we see accents of careful engravings, some diamond splashes, and impeccable craftsmanship in the exterior parts of the watches. A woman always wears an accessory to compliment her beauty. Therefore, the watch has to grab attention through its immaculate visual aspect.
Unisex watches
That’s great when a brand labels a timepiece as “unisex”. It is clear and evident that both genders can wear it and combine it with any outfit. In the absence of such a label, the task of identifying the differences becomes quite difficult. All you can do is consider the dimensions. The strap or the bracelet should not be too large and look smooth on the wrist. The color doesn’t matter here since both men and women buy watches to associate them with specific elements of their outfits. For instance, both men and women can have a brown leather strap whenever they combine it with a pair of brown shoes or a brown clutch.
A big deal is a great option for both men and women whenever combined with the wearer’s style. For example, big watches look awesome on a woman’s wrist in case she is a fan of the vintage style. The same goes for the length of the bracelet. It’s not a strict rule to wear a watch strongly attached to the wrist. If the woman is adept at the vintage style, a large bracelet is always welcome.
In contrast, men can also opt for a slim strap or a small dial in case their wrist is not large. In addition, the unisex watch is a great compliment to the casual man’s style and it will be no mistake to wear one.
Therefore, unisex watches are as complicated as simple to wear. The secret hides in the unique taste for fashion of every man or woman. What really matters is to combine the watch according to the overall outfit and style and make sure that the watch doesn’t look “out of context”.
Final thoughts
On one hand, the classic tendencies tell us that the men’s and women’s watches have differences in their design, functional architecture, and dimensions. Following these tendencies, it is not difficult to spot the differences between genders. On the other hand, modern fashion dictates revolutionary rules from which the main one is “there are no rules”. Therefore, it is more important to listen to your inner voice than to follow some general rules. If your inner voice tells you that a unisex watch, regardless of its dimension or color, is more representative of your spirit and nature then wear it with no fear.
