Watches are an important fashion accessory for both men and women. However, these women watches have undergone a lot of changes and modifications since their inception. Women did not always wear wrist watches. Earlier, pendant watches were quite popular with women. These watches were a modified version of the pocket watches of men and resembled a long chain with a pendent. These were generally tucked into a little pocket which was sewn into the seam or tucked into the waistband.

A woman could display her time piece in a variety of ways in the olden days. She could either dangle her pendant watch from her earrings or rings or she could also use pin brooches to dangle it. There were also other kinds of options available like dangling the pendent watch by a chain fixed at the waist.

These days there are millions of choices available when it comes to classy women watches. You can choose the styles and models which suit your budget and style. The fashion keeps changing every year with new styles flooding the market. Hence, to be with the fashion, keeping one or two watches just wont suffice. You need a collection which can see you through most seasons and fashion trends.

The basic or the simplest collection would have at least three kinds of watches; a sports watch, a dress watch and a jewelry watch. You can either choose all these watches from one brand or from different brands to have a more varied collection. Its not really a hard and fast rule to have one of each kind. You can even have a couple of sports watches from different brands and with a different look. There are millions of different kinds of dress watches available and generally women are spoiled for choice here. The jewelry watches are a different affair since they are more expensive than the others. Hence, you can either choose a couple of them or go for a single jewelry watch which can suffice for all the important occasions.

A sports watch is an integral part of the wardrobe of a modern day woman. It does not matter what you do; run, jog, walk or even swim, a sports watch helps you to keep a track of the time in spite of the moisture you may subject it too (sweat or swimming). It also has an alarm which can tell you about the things that need attention and a stop watch to time your lap. Made of robust substances like leather, rubber or titanium, women's sport watches are more feminine looking and have a thinner strap then men. You can even choose the watch according to your complexion; the general rule is darker complexion needs a neutral color.

Dress watches are the perfect companion to a social evening or a date. Early they were a standard item generally made of gold with a thin strap. However, these days anything can work as a dress watch provided that it doesn't have a rubber strap, big markings or giant sized hands.

Jewelry watches are work of art. These watches are classy and elegant and would generally have stones like diamonds on the dial. These look great on special occasions like wedding and anniversaries.

Women's watches are as priceless and elegant as jewelry. They convey the modern outlook of the woman who wears them and at the same time they also reflect her feminine nature and sophistication!
