The women's watch trends 2021

Many women are now forgoing wristwatches because their smartphones also tell the time, among other things. Yet wristwatches for women are an underrated but wonderful accessory that can add individual accents to an outfit. What top trends do we see for women's watches in 2021? We've summarized what we consider the most important ones that are guaranteed to make you a trendsetter in 2021.

The discreet business watch

An accessory that can also be a practical everyday companion? The trend for women's watches in 2021 continues toward feminine and understated classic timepieces. Fine materials, precise craftsmanship, reliable functionality – pure comfort. The watch must complement a business outfit, but also be understated. The selection is vast, whether it's a mechanical automatic or an extremely precise quartz movement, making the decision difficult is not easy.

Watches with square cases – setting accents

Square watch cases are becoming increasingly popular if you're a bit tired of the typical rounded shapes. Mixed forms, such as rounded edges and asymmetrical shapes, are also very much in vogue. The unusual case shape alone makes this type of women's watch stand out from the crowd and always catches the eye.

When choosing the right watch, you should not only consider its looks but also the case width. Slim watches, such as the Dugena model, are particularly suitable for delicate wrists.

The choice of materials ranges from classic stainless steel to unusual materials such as ceramic, and the shapes are not only geometric but organic, as in the Pebble model by Bering.

Trend colors rose gold and yellow gold

A feminine rose gold-colored case and/or bracelet remains very trendy. The color can be wonderfully combined with almost any outfit. With these women's watches, the wearer can be sure that they will stay up-to-date for a long time to come.

Elegant yellow gold watches for women are increasingly being discovered in the watch collections. Elegant and expressive.

Tone-on-tone – all-black watches

Not only for those who prefer black or dark tones in fashion, tone-on-tone or all-black watches are the new trend in terms of coolness, somewhat replacing the long-popular dark blue. Black or dark gray strap, case, and dial – why is the all-black look so popular? The dark style appears minimalist, timeless, yet elegant. The mystical element reflects the mysterious allure of the wearer.

Unisex watches

Watches that can be worn by both women and men – a trend that will continue to prevail in wristwatches in 2021. The stereotype that a men's watch must be large, appear as masculine as possible, and be equipped with many functions. In contrast, the women's watch – which should be dainty and an elegant piece of jewelry as a useful accessory – no longer applies – as is the case in other areas of fashion and styling. Modern wristwatches are neither delicate and feminine nor masculine and eye-catching. Watches with large cases and simple dials or sports watches in a gender-neutral design are offered as so-called unisex watches and suit both a man's everyday business outfit and a woman's sporty-casual leisure look. With an interchangeable watch strap that matches the outfit, such as those from Bering, an office wristwatch can be transformed in seconds into a top-fashion accessory for evening wear, matching the outfit.

Women's watches with solar power

Solar-powered watches for women are practical everyday companions on your wrist. You don't need to charge a solar watch before wearing it, and you won't be surprised by a dead battery one day. In keeping with sustainability considerations, these models are more environmentally friendly, as they (like automatic watches) don't require battery changes.

Solar watches generally function flawlessly for many years under normal use. Ambient light (including artificial light) is sufficient to charge the battery. If the solar watch is not to be worn for an extended period, it should not be stored in complete darkness for months, as this will cause the battery to become deeply discharged.

Citizen is certainly a pioneer and trendsetter in this area. Its so-called Eco-Drive technology, which was incorporated into the first analog, solar-powered wristwatch back in 1976, stores energy even in low ambient light and offers a power reserve lasting several months, even in the dark. With each new collection, Citizen creates beautiful and creative designs alongside innovative lighting and material technology.
