How to Choose a Watch or Jewellery Gift for Her
- Match her metal. Notice whether she mostly wears gold, silver or rose gold jewellery and pick the same tone, or go two-tone if she mixes metals.
- Think about size. Many women's watches sit between about 28mm and 36mm. Small cases (like the 14mm Michael Kors Empire or 17mm Timex Cavatina Mini) read more like jewellery, while larger ones make a statement.
- Choose her style, not yours. If she wears clean, simple pieces, go minimalist. If she loves sparkle, choose a jewellery-style watch or a necklace. If she's active or at the beach every weekend, go sporty.
- Check the closure. Bracelets with an adjustable clasp, expansion bands and leather straps are the easiest to fit if you don't know her wrist size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good Christmas gift for her?
A watch or a piece of jewellery that matches her style. For simple, everyday taste, try a minimalist watch like the Rosefield Octagon XS. If she loves sparkle, a jewellery-style watch like the Michael Kors Empire or a necklace suits her. For an active lifestyle, the G-Shock GMA-S2100 mid-size or a Baby-G is a better fit. If she already has plenty of jewellery, a Wolf jewellery roll looks after it.
What size watch should I buy for a woman?
Many women's watches sit between about 28mm and 36mm. Smaller cases, such as the 14mm Michael Kors Empire or 17mm Timex Cavatina Mini, wear like jewellery. Larger cases look bolder. If you don't know her wrist size, choose an expansion band or an adjustable bracelet, or read our watch size guide.
Can I return a Christmas gift from Watch Direct?
Yes. Our standard returns window is 30 days, and for the holidays we've extended it: orders placed from 1 November 2026 can be returned until 31 January 2027. Items need to be unworn and unused, with all tags attached and in the original packaging, plus proof of purchase. Return postage is paid by the customer unless we made an error. Pierced jewellery, such as earrings, can't be returned. See our returns page for details.
When will my Christmas order ship?
Orders placed before 2pm (Sydney time) on a weekday usually leave the same day, and standard shipping is free Australia-wide. If you're in Sydney, you can also choose click and collect from our Marrickville showroom (Monday to Friday, 10am–4pm). For delivery options and timeframes, see our shipping page.
Do Watch Direct watches come in a gift box?
Every watch we sell is new and genuine and comes in its original branded box, so it's ready to wrap. Gift sets, such as the Michael Kors Georgie MK7655SET, include extra pieces in the same box.
Can she swim in these watches?
Most watches in this guide are rated to 30 or 50 metres, which suits everyday wear and splashes rather than swimming. Manufacturers rate 100m watches for swimming, but Watch Direct recommends 200 metres with a screw-down crown for regular swimming or diving. The G-Shock GMA-S2100 is rated to 200 metres and is the toughest pick here for the beach. Our water resistance guide explains each rating.
Is Watch Direct an authorised retailer?
Yes. Watch Direct has been an authorised Australian watch retailer since 2011 and is an authorised dealer for every brand we sell. Every watch comes with the full manufacturer's warranty, and you can visit our showroom in Marrickville, Sydney.
