Before we dive into our list of low-cost women’s watches in India, let me share some wristwatch buying tips that would help you in getting the right one.
Choosing the right watch...
Quartz watch vs. mechanical watch – There are two standard mechanisms in which watches operate – quartz (battery) or mechanical (automatic).
Quartz watches are the ones which are most widely used these days. They are battery-powered, accurate and relatively cheaper than mechanical watches.
Mechanical watches, on the other hand, are automatic and don’t use a battery. They are operated by a spring or through the regulated release of energy. You might need to wind a mechanical watch once every day. It’s difficult to get this type of watches in a low budget. They are considered as a ‘work of art’, and are therefore costly.
Type of band – There are generally two types of belts when it comes to fastening watches – bracelets or straps.
The ones with straps come with a simple buckle clasp to fasten the watch. These belts are made from low-cost materials like leather or rubber. Hence, they tend to be more pocket-friendly.
Bracelet design watches come in a metallic finish in premium shades like gold, silver and platinum. Moreover, they may come with precious stone decorations. As a result, they are usually more expensive when compared to strap fastened watches.
Dial shape – The new dial styles coming in the market are always competing with their older versions and watches of other brands, but of course, the circle remains a favourite for many.
In circle shaped dials there are different sizes such as the big circle dial and the regular circle dial. The smaller circle is usually preferred by women who are going for a more feminine vibe.
If you’re looking for something which looks bold and elegant at the same time, you can go for square-shaped or other unconventional dials.
Features and overall vibe of the watch – The classic casual watch shows you the time without any extra jewels and ornamentation, thus is preferred by many.
The smart fit watches are the one for you if you want to keep a track on your steps and sleep, calorie burn etc.
Minimalistic watches are ideal for formal occasions like business meetings, and daily office wear.
For parties, weddings and other family festivities there are dress and jewellery themed watches. Dress watches exclusively complement your outfit, whereas jewellery design watches are all about the shiny bracelet and the glittering stones.
In the table below, we have listed some of the best affordable women's watches in India under ₹1,000, ₹900 and ₹800. It would allow you to compare these watches easily so that you can make the right purchase decision.
