Watches Are Set to Become the Arm Candy of 2022

In a world where we tell time by our cell phones, watches have become almost obsolete. The keyword is “almost.” With the increase of interest in quality over quantity, timepieces are suddenly trending again. While luxury watches are obviously #jewelrygoals, you actually don’t have to spend a lot to get some truly stylish arm candy. Although, we have to admit, the designer takes are pretty stellar. Sure, the Apple Watch and fitness trackers created mini stirs when they debuted. But now we’re setting our sights on picks that are high on function and especially fashion. Luckily, there are lots and lots of different styles to choose from. Like metallic versions that rival your best statement jewelry, architectural faces that favor the minimalists among us and even ones that will make you hit refresh on your ability to tell time. Ready to start 2022 off on the right foot (and right on time)? Of course you are. See below for the 14 best watches for women that are certified fashion girl-approved. Buy one for yourself. Then treat someone on your list who has been exceptionally good this year. Since we found many affordable options, you can even gift one to multiple loved ones.
