Regardless of whether you are superstitious or not, you have probably heard that it is better not to give a watch. As a rule, the interpretation of this gift comes down to associations with separation, parting. In China, they are generally inclined towards a mystical interpretation - supposedly, a donated watch shortens life expectancy.
People talk too much about the fact that a watch as a gift will not bring anything good, but it is worth figuring out whether this is really so, or maybe this is just a fatal coincidence that brought disfavor on this type of gift? In addition, the very fact of who exactly you give the watch to is important.
A watch as a gift to colleagues or bosses
In fact, it is unlikely that this gift will be the cause of the quarrel with the person who presented you the watch as a gift. Conflicts happen because of disagreement, misbehavior, bad mood, but certainly not over the subject.
Another sign about watches is the opposite opinion, which is that a wrist or wall gift clock brings good luck. In business, at work, this gift is common because it is quite neutral. The watch is presented to business partners, artists, outstanding personalities at various awards ceremonies.
The versatility of this gift also lies in the variety of design solutions, forms, pricing policy. They can be selected in accordance with the status, preferences and age of the person to whom you are giving them.
Watch as a gift to the closest people
In a series of numerous holidays, watches are a useful gift not only for colleagues. However, no one wants to experience all the "charm" of this superstition. After all, close people want to do their best, forget about prejudices and omens.
In addition, one can refer to the fact that any watch is not only a reminder of the passing time. Perhaps supporters of superstition do not like this type of gift for psychological reasons, for example, because of a reminder of age.
A watch is not only a useful thing, but also an excellent decoration for both men and women. Especially now, with such a variety of finishes. And what woman would not like to receive another piece of jewelry as a gift
Women's wristwatches with a large dial and rhinestones will look very beautiful.
There is a saying: "if you can't, but you really want to, then you can." If you still doubt the safety of such a gift, you can ask the person to whom you decided to give it for a symbolic reward (a coin or small bill). The main thing is to treat all superstitions with a grain of common sense and not go to extremes, since, as you know, thoughts are material.
