As the most romantic day of the year approaches many men are scouring the Internet for rings to propose with and other beautiful jewellery to give as gifts to their wives, girlfriends and partners on February the 14^th. However for women it can be much harder to find a romantic, thoughtful, functional present to give.

Aside from the usual DIY tools, car accessories and edible gifts one of the modern, popular gifts for men is as simple as the wristwatch. Watches perform multiple tasks, not least telling the time, but watches are also symbols of status at work and amongst friends. Choosing a timepiece that reflects his personality as well as your budget can be an easy decision that will give him a gift he can wear and treasure. It might help him be on time when he’s supposed to meet you for dinner as well.

For sports lovers a sports watch is the obvious choice. Coloured sports watches made by Breo are perfect for active sports like cycling, running and working out at the gym. For extra features, compare Lorus, Timex and Casio, all well known and trusted brands that will keep track of time above ground and underwater too.

For a chic, stylish gentleman’s watch he can wear to work, choose gold watches or titanium watches from Seiko, Tag Heuer, Omega or Sekonda. With the strength of titanium and steel grey colour, this silver effect suits men who are secure and confident with an air of mystery. Traditional gold watches are always in fashion and the extroverted glamorous colour is guaranteed to make a statement each time he lifts his arm.

This Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to give the man in your life a reliable timepiece he can wear, or if you choose a unisex watch, maybe you can share his watch as well. Find the perfect mens watches at Watches.org.uk.
