Why you can't give a watch to your beloved man
According to the signs of many peoples, it is categorically impossible to give a watch to your soul mate. It is believed that such a gift will lead to a quick and inevitable separation, and some argue that the couple will break up as soon as the clock stops running, while others are sure that the break will occur regardless of whether the clock is running or not.
A suspicious lover may even decide that you have chosen such a gift, with the goal of ending the relationship, as a result, instead of sincere joy and gratitude, you will receive bewilderment and resentment in return.
Each person independently decides whether to believe the omens or not. A huge number of couples live happily, every morning putting on a watch donated by their soul mate. However, if your loved one is a superstitious person, you should choose another gift in order to avoid misunderstandings.
If you really want to …
If you really want to, you can get around the sign. It is enough to buy off a coin or small bill at the moment of giving the gift to the person being presented - then symbolically the gift turns into a purchase, and the omen ceases to work.
How to choose a watch
If, despite the signs, you still decided to donate the watch, it will be useful to find out some rules.

Another topical issue when choosing a watch is the type of movement. It is believed that the best option is a quartz watch, they are highly accurate and can withstand considerable loads. But mechanical watches can last for decades, they only occasionally require special maintenance. Mechanical watches are less accurate than quartz ones and require constant winding, but, nevertheless, they are preferred by many. classical mechanics are considered prestigious. Another option is an electronic watch, it belongs to a sporty style and when choosing such a watch as a gift, you should take into account the lifestyle.
