Choosing the Perfect Watch

Consider the Purpose of the Watch

When choosing a gift, it's a good idea to consider the purpose of the watch from the perspective of where the recipient might use it or what they generally desire.

Does the recipient prefer a simpler or more eye-catching watch? Our range includes understated, minimally designed watches, such as the women's model Tuohi and the men's Usva. On the other hand, the women's model Kirsikka is a beautiful, jewelry-like watch finished with rose gold-colored metal details. The men's model Väre, with its deep blue dial, will definitely turn heads.

Your loved one might be someone for whom watches are not very familiar. In this case, it's advisable to opt for an easily approachable, simple watch model that suits anyone. For example, Hiili or Viima are traditional unisex models that are easy to pair with both more formal and casual attire.

On the other hand, the recipient may be a watch enthusiast who collects various stunning wristwatches, distinguished by their fine mechanics or stylish design. You can complement such a collector's collection, or alternatively, acquire a comfortable everyday watch for them.

Inspired by the forests of Finland, the Korpi automatic wristwatch, made from Finnish birch wood, is sure to charm both watch enthusiasts and everyday wristwatch users alike.

Consider the Size of the Watch

When choosing a gift, consider the thickness of the recipient's wrist. The length of the HAVU watch strap can be adjusted, but the size of the watch face varies by model. A good rule of thumb is that 40-42 millimeter watches fit almost every man and 36-40 mm watches fit women. A 44 mm watch with a striking size is elegant on a man with a thicker wrist. Smaller watches are suitable for slimmer wrists or for those who prefer a classic dress watch style.

The men's watch Harju is the largest watch in our range, while the slimmer models, Kirsikka and Tuohi, can be found among the women's watches.

What Is the Recipient's Style?

Of course, style is an essential factor in choosing an accessory. If the recipient does not have a specific preference in mind, try to choose a watch that best suits their style. A light-colored watch may feel foreign to someone who dresses mostly in dark colors daily, whereas someone with a silver jewelry collection may not necessarily choose a watch finished with gold-colored details.

Remember that a little originality and bold choices can be pleasant surprises. The guest of honor may fall in love with the model you chose, whether it reflects their previous style or not. You know your loved one best!

Brighten Up the Appearance of the Watch with an Interchangeable Strap

If you wish, you can also add a HAVU interchangeable strap to the gift. From our range, you'll find high-quality leather, metal, and textile straps that bring variation to the feel and appearance of the watch. Read tips for choosing a strap here.

Consider these tips and find the perfect gift!

1. Consider what style the recipient has. Would they prefer a simple or eye-catching, attention-grabbing watch?
2. Familiarize yourself with the product information of the watch. The description of the watch tells about its use, but also its technical features, such as the movement, the width and color of the dial, as well as the strap and its size.
3. A wooden strap is lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, and it won't feel sweaty in the heat or too cool in the cold. However, variety refreshes, so the recipient might also appreciate an interchangeable strap!

We hope these tips will help you in choosing a gift. Happy shopping! Remember, you can always contact us if you have any questions about our products or need help with your choice.
