In partnership with Citizen
Editor’s note: That’s a wrap for this year but we’ll be back in 2023! In the meantime, please check out our best Deals that are trending right now.
Giving the gift of a high-caliber watch communicates a few things to your recipient. First, that you care enough about them to put the time and effort into watch shopping. Second, that you know enough about them to choose the right model. And third, that they have a serious tardiness problem. (OK, that last one only applies to certain giftees.) If this sounds like a daunting task, then start with a trusted brand like Citizen, which has been making timepieces for decades (104 years to be exact), and you’ll have a tough time going astray.
Still, there’s a difference between the watch your partner will cherish and the one your brother-in-law will give an approving nod to. This is not a one-size-fits-all gift. In order to help you navigate the movements (trusty mechanical or simple quartz?), the styles (stainless steel or gold-plated?) and the models (dive or dress?), we’ve hand-selected 10 Citizen watches for a variety of holiday gifting occasions.
Does that include a handful of timepieces we’d like to find under our own trees this year, and that you may want to pick up for yourself? Of course it does. Feel free to slide these links into the DMs of anyone who might be thinking about a gift for you.
We've put in the work researching, reviewing and rounding up all the shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories you'll need this season, whether it's for yourself or for gifting purposes. Sign up here for weekly style inspo direct to your inbox.
