If your son or daughter is heading off to college, then you should consider getting them a watch. Most kids nowadays use their smartphones for that, but there are still situations where a traditional watch is appropriate. The two important ones for college students (bot girls and guys) are sports and internships. Students who take part in sports will benefit from a sports watch. One that has features such as lap timing, stop watch features, and other features. It’s not easy to check the time on a smart phone when you’re running laps, swimming laps, or racing up and down the field.
The other important situation to have a watch is for internships. The watch exudes a more sophisticated and adult look–that translates into personal responsibility and conveys maturity. While all industries won’t require this, some interviewers and potential employtrs will like the look. So, if your son or daugher is planning on going into Banking, Finance, Fashion, Management (and that includes entertainment management–movies, sports), law or medicine, then these watches are important.
This beautiful rose colored Anne Klein watch is perfect for young women who are planning on interning in Finance, Business, Government or Politics, or Fashion. The watch is affordable, so it doesn’t scream “entitled little rich girl”—which can be a turn off for employers. But it also isn’t a sloppy plastic watch or an iPhone. This watch says that your daughter takes care of herself and is responsible.
If you’re daughter is someone who prefers a more subdued color tone, then this beautiful Bulova is an excellent choice. It’s subtle, but also very impressive. It’s a very sophisticated watch and one that is excellent for interviews. The watch has a beautiful silver tone stainless steel design with a very discreet diamond bezel.
The dial face is a clean, clear mother of pearl color.
This would make a wonderful gift for your daughter as she heads off to college.
For Your Daughter The Sports Star
Don’t think that your daughter only needs a watch for her internship. If she’s going to play sports, then she will need a good sports watch. If she’s jogging after practice, or just an active girl who likes to hit the gym and keep fit, then this is a great gift to get her on her way to college.
This is an awesome sports watch from Timex. It comes in a whole bunch of colors, so if your daughter isn’t a fan of pink you can get it in a different color.
This is great for the times when your daughter won’t want to risk damaging her iPhone but still needs to keep track of time. It also is a really cool looking watch!
Dress Watches For Your Sons Internship
If your son is planning on doing an internship, then it would be a good idea to have a nice dress watch. A really expensive watch, like a rolex, can be hard to pull off. For one thing, the person interviewing them might not be able to afford a Rolex, so it could make them jealous. On the other hand, a really big flashy watch, which are cool for parties, clubs, and everyday wear most of the time, might not be appropriate either. What you want is a classic watch that says that your son has class, responsibility and knows how to conduct himself. The brands below are well known, and even if the interviewer doesn’t know the brand, they will be impressed by the watch—but won’t find them intimidating (like a rolex might).
This is a really perfect choice. It’s got a classic design. It is stylish, without being too modern and fancy. It would work in Advertising, Media, Banking, Finance, Sales, or any other number of internship fields. The color goes well with dark suits (navy,black, charcoal) and all sorts of shirt and tie combos.
This is another great watch. It’s made by Bulova, an excellent company. It has a beautiful, clean design. It’s also great for guys who might be wearing a less formal outfit, something such as chinos and polo shirts. It’s a clean design, unencumbered by bells and whistles that stand out on other watches and are not appropriate for the office.
For Your Son The Athlete
The Casio G-Shock is probably the ultimate watch for athletic guys. It’s super durable, has stop watch components, is easy to read while running down the court, jogging across the hills, running laps on the track, or anything else. Its also made of a nice material that won’t swell on the wrist like metal watches will.
