10 Great Summertime Watches for Women
Okay, ladies, it has been a long time coming (2021 more so than any other year thanks to the pandemic) … but summer is here. With it comes a host of great watches to keep you company day and night.
Finally, summer is almost here and we can get outside and enjoy not only the warm sun and the green grass, but also the fresh air and (hopefully) pandemic-free environment. Summer means different things to different people. Teachers and others in the education field are particularly lucky because they get almost three full months off to relax and enjoy. For those who are still working, though, summer means taking some vacation time off and maybe even traveling a bit.
It is also about indulging a little and doing the outdoor things you most love to do.
For some, that indulgence is laying out on a sun-kissed beach or having cocktails poolside at the strike of 5:00 (or even earlier in the day). Heck, it’s summer. Indulge. A rubber strapped watch in a host of colors is the perfect accessory. If you are the type that prefers the active water life, snorkeling, diving, surfing or just catching some waves, don’t worry, the watch brands have you covered with some exceptional water-resistant timepieces perfect to accompany you.
Have serious sports on your mind, like running the marathon or trekking up the world’s longest staircase on that single day they open it? New chronograph watches abound that will help you time your runs. Hiking and biking to new heights? A good compass watch with an altimeter and other indications can keep you on track. Or, if you are just looking to show off your summer tan with the perfect little white dress, there is a watch that will go the distance with you.
