It is common for women's watches to be smaller (although some prefer larger watches) and to be used more as a fashion accessory than as a timepiece. This is especially true for jewelry-style watches for women.

Functionality
Simple watches
It is important to note that "simple" does not necessarily mean "plain". Watches that are simple (and classic) are simplified in a functional sense. Neither tourbillons nor repeaters can be found here, as the hands are limited to the hour, minute, and second, without any additional features or complications. There is a strict, sometimes even minimalist design to these watches.

With complications
Generally, complications refer to anything that adds a level of complexity to the watch mechanism. Watches with hands were initially simple - then they added an additional indication - and now you have a complex watch! Complications associated with watches include:
The display includes more than just a date or a day of the week. This also includes the lunar calendar, as well as an unusual complication, such as the "big date" when two large openings with numbers appear on the dial rather than just one small one.
In appearance, it resembles a fuel gauge on a vehicle. You will be able to determine how long the watch will run and when it will need to be wound. A mechanical watch owner will find this product suitable.

Material
Plastic watches
The watches are great for athletes as they are practically indestructible. Most of the parts have additional protection. Additionally, plastic can be painted in any color - which is why plastic models are particularly popular with children and those who enjoy bright colors in their daily lives.
Steel watch
Among the most common materials used for watch cases. The physical properties of steel ensure the long life of a watch.
Jewelry Watches
n contrast to all other types of watches, watches made of precious metals are the most luxurious. The main characteristic of these watches is the jewelry case (often made of gold, less often of silver), which may also be embellished with precious stones. There is also the possibility of adding artistic details (skeletonizing the mechanism, enameling the dial, etc.).
It is important to note that the materials listed above are basic in nature, since they are the most prevalent, but there are still many excellent options available. In addition to being extremely light and fashionable, titanium watches do not scratch. It is also possible to find watches made from wood and glass. It is only a matter of time before new types of wristwatches emerge as a result of the relentless development of technological advancements.
