Pretty Watches For Ladies

To make sure that we’re on the same page, let me explain for a bit what “pretty” really means.

In general, pretty things have a delicate kind of beauty, which means they’re simply attractive. These objects don’t have that extreme look to catch attention. However, once you look at them closely, you would clearly see their charming, feminine appeal.

That’s exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to pretty watches for ladies.

Now that you’ve understood better the essence of pretty timepieces, I guess you’re very excited now to see my top 10 watches. Go ahead and see their specs for the first time!

For starters, let me discuss the details with this comparison table.

What are the factors you should think about when shopping for pretty watches?

To be honest, I could answer this question with just one statement – beauty is subjective!

Really, it’s all up to your preferences. If you think black is pretty, then go for it!

However, if you’re the type of person who can’t really decide on the color and other features, I’m ready to help you out with the following tips:

The Color

Later, as I discuss the watches one by one, you’ll notice that my chosen watches are very feminine and soft to the eyes. That’s because I take the real definition of “pretty” seriously.

Pretty has a delicate beauty that’s best represented by light colors. When you check the comparison table again, you’ll find the colors white, beige, yellow, pink, silver, light brown, and light blue.

I think these colors truly represent our focus here.

The Simplicity

Just because a watch has gemstones doesn’t mean that it’s already glamorous and eye-catching. A few diamonds aren’t really a big deal, especially if they’re arranged in a neat way.

They just give a little depth or texture on the timepiece.

Additionally, a pretty watch is simple. It has a minimalist design to complement your outfit, not overpowering it. So, intricate details aren’t necessary.

Leave that to your fancy luxury watches.

Finally, let’s learn more about the pretty watches for ladies I’ve listed on the comparison table.

In this section, you’ll see what I like most about my top 10 timepieces. I’ll also give my two cents on the drawbacks of each watch.

Saint Honore Women's Opera Gold Watch 752012 3YRT

Beige and gold look stunning together, thanks to the sophisticated design of Saint Honore Women's Opera Gold Watch 752012 3YRT. I think it’s smart to apply yellow gold on the case, hands, and markers to give way to the lighter colors.

I also like the placement of diamonds since they’re arranged neatly on such a slim bezel. This way, the focus is on the dial, which is basically the essence of watches.

The only strange thing about this watch is the dial window which shows three numbers. It can be confusing and distracting.


Frederique Constant WHF Women’s Watch FC-310WHF2PD4

Frederique Constant WHF Close-Up

You know what I really like about this Frederique Constant WHF Women’s Watch? The wide plain satin band with a light ivory color is the perfect balance to the extra details on the dial.

Even though there are additional details on the watch’s face, it’s still much simpler than most luxury timepieces. The mother-of-pearl background is too plain and the guilloche centerpiece has a pure white color. You won’t even notice the centerpiece instantly.

Frederique Constant WHF Backside

Fortunately, the plain dial is decorated with diamond markers. The best part, however, is the heart-shaped exhibition at the 12 o’clock mark. It is creative in a simple way, which I like.

Just like the first watch, the diamond bezel also looks elegant, not showy.

Timekeeping is kind of inconvenient with this watch, though. The 11, 12 and 1 o’clock markers are nowhere to be found because of the two big hearts. It’s not practical for career women.

Before we get to the next watch, I have some interesting facts about this timepiece. WHF stands for the World Heart Federation. It turns out that Frederique Constant is a charitable brand.

WHF aims to spread awareness to prevent heart disease and stroke. That’s why the two hearts on the dial have a sentimental meaning. They’re necessary to represent the brand’s mission.

From beige and ivory straps, let’s focus on something that’s much darker. Versace “Venus” Women's Watch VDA060014 has a light brown leather band with alligator skin patterns. It provides a slightly rugged look to make up for the very feminine dial.

The dial is divided into two sections to make room for creativity. Even though the two top rings are filled with gemstones, the watch still looks simple. Pink topaz is not really that sparkly and the diamonds are – again – placed neatly.

I also like how mesmerizing the smaller dial is with its textured guilloche background. It complements the details of the top rings and strap in a subtle way.

Even though the lone jewel on the side looks unnecessary, I think it still works to make up for the transparent part of the bezel.

Just because your timepiece is pretty and simple doesn’t mean that it can’t be a dress watch. Fendi Women's Dress Watch F626140DPDC proves that diamonds aren’t “attention-seekers” sometimes.

Ideal for dressing up during summer and spring, this watch is perfect for light-colored formal wear. Thanks to the dominance of white ceramic, diamonds become less noticeable.

The square dial also makes the watch stylish despite the plainness of white ceramic. Good thing that its bezel is just plain ceramic as well to keep the gemstones on a small area, maintaining simplicity.

This timepiece clearly shows that diamonds are essential for plain white watches. Texture is important to keep things interesting to look at.

I must say, plain white watches can’t complement other outfits especially if you’re going for a rugged look. It’s best to buy another timepiece of a different design if you’re planning to get this watch.

Gevril Avenue of America Super Mini Wrist View

A light blue watch strap looks so refreshing, isn’t it? Gevril Avenue of America Super Mini Women’s Watch 8247NE has a bold dial, which is interesting. For a gentler look, however, all details around the watch are designed with pretty colors like light blue.

Even though the watch looks bulky in the picture, it is smaller in person. Its case width is only 22 millimeters. The result is an elegant casual timepiece.

I should also point out that rectangular watches, in general, lack hour markers, which is inconvenient. This one, however, presents the complete 12 hours. More importantly, they’re in Arabic numerals, which is easier to read.

Unfortunately, the surfaces aren’t polished enough for such a sophisticated watch. This gives the timepiece a vintage look, which can be a good or bad thing to different preferences.

I mentioned earlier that beauty is subjective. For me, Locman Isola d'Elba Lady Watch 0465A14D-00MWIDPS is very pretty despite its unisex look. When you look closely, its details and texture make it feminine and beautiful.

Let’s start with its dial. Mother-of-pearl just makes everything dreamy and classy. It is an elegant background for diamond hour markers.

Also, I can’t get enough of how effortlessly beautiful the hands are. Their color, shape, and outline are praiseworthy.

When it comes to the bezel, I’m just glad it’s not made of diamonds. The carved metallic surface is enough to frame the dial in an attractive way.

Lastly, the blue calfskin leather is just divine. Its texture looks like satin, which is luxurious to the eyes.

However, if you prefer a more feminine watch, you might like the next one.


TAG Heuer Link WAT1415.FC6316

TAG Heuer Link WAT1415.FC6316

Simple yet fabulous, TAG Heuer Link WAT1415.FC6316 relies on its details, texture, and colors to look magnificent. You can only see 11 diamonds on this watch, proving that a timepiece doesn’t need too many gemstones to look glamorous.

What really caught my attention is the dial’s pattern. It is mesmerizing to the point that you can stare at it for several minutes.

I also want to highlight the watch’s bezel. I think it’s a thoughtful design to make it easier for the user to tell time. That’s why this watch is one of the most practical timepieces here.

And the best part? This model can serve as a dress watch. Most dress watches fall short in the timekeeping factor.

The white leather strap and pure stainless steel case seem mismatched, though. However, the Cameron Diaz collection has more design options, so feel free to choose what you really want.


Christian Dior VIII CD1235H1C001

Christian Dior VIII CD1235H1C001

If your attention instantly focuses on the dial, then Christian Dior VIII CD1235H1C001 has successfully done its job. The plain white ceramic strap lets the bezel and dial have their moment.

This watch has a lot of diamonds, but they’re extremely small which is a great thing for a tidier arrangement. In addition, rose gold perfectly complements diamonds.

If you’re in love with the entire frontal design, wait until you see the watch’s case back. Since this timepiece uses an automatic movement, it is only logical to expose the back part so you can marvel at the intricacy of the system.

The Roman numeral on the eight o’clock mark seems unnecessary, but it has a sentimental meaning. The Dior VIII collection celebrates the creation of the brand’s couture house way back on October 8, 1946.

Bvlgari B-ZERO1 Wrist View

Right off the bat, I must say that Bvlgari B-ZERO1 Women’s Watch BZ23WSGCC / 12-S is my top favorite here. It totally represents everything that makes a pretty watch: the light colors and the simplicity. Not to mention the ultra-feminine look of an extremely small dial and a narrow band.

This timepiece is certainly a dress watch, but you can also wear it casually since it looks like a pretty bracelet.

The only downside of a white ceramic bangle is tricky fitting. Make sure that it will fit your wrist. A bangle can also be uncomfortable to wear since you can’t change its form.

Omega De Ville Prestige Butterfly Watch 424.57.33.20.55.002

Another watch with an extremely plain strap, Omega De Ville Prestige Butterfly Watch 424.57.33.20.55.002 has a dial that will melt your heart. The butterfly images are adorable as they decorate the elegant mother-of-pearl background.

I’m also impressed that the watch still values accurate timekeeping because all the hour markers are there despite the solid butterfly images.

To complement the feminine look of the dial, this watch has a leather strap with a satin finish.

However, a pure white leather strap may be too boring for some ladies.


Conclusion

Despite all the things I’ve told you, always follow your heart when choosing a watch, especially if the number one basis is the design. What’s pretty for me may not be pretty enough for you.

However, if you think my tips earlier are helpful, allow me to give you the highlights once again:

  • Colors like white, beige, yellow, pink, silver, light brown, and light blue truly represent delicate beauty.
  • Neatly-arranged diamonds simply give a bit of texture on the timepiece.
  • Complex details aren’t important because they have the tendency to overpower the prettiness of a watch.
