Picking the right accessory can be tough- especially when it's a statement piece. Watches are one such accessory that people mull over for hours. Additionally, finding an affordable watch that doesn't seem flimsy can seem like work. This task of picking the right watch can get even more confusing when looking for a girl's watch. Historically, watches have dominated the male wardrobe, taking a backseat in women's fashion. The past decade, however, has seen a growing trend of girl's watches. The question remains: how to pick the right watch for girls? Here are four tips one can keep in mind:
Band/Bracelet
Watches for girls often have either a band-style strap or a bracelet style strap. While both of them have their own aesthetic appeal, they fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. The band, often in leather, gives the watch a sporty feel and is indeed great to wear casually. Band strapped watches also come in dressier alternatives, but the bracelet style takes the cake for being fancy. Bracelet straps are elegant and often come in metal finishes, which also means that they go with almost any outfit.
But why is it important to consider the kind of strap a girl's watch has?
That’s because it says a lot about their personality as well as, it goes with the kind of garments they have in their wardrobe. Here are two of our favourite Helix watches for girls which show you exactly what we mean:

Shape & Size
Before making a purchase for a girl's watch, it is almost an unsaid rule to consider how the shape and size of any given watch will look on the intended wearer's wrist. While some watches for girls are sleek, others can be slightly bulky. Even the shape of the dial, which ranges from round to rectangular, impacts how the watch sits and looks on the wrist. For those with very delicate looking wrists, a sleek watch is the right pick. Bulky watches, however, are very on-trend in street-style fashion. Here are the Helix watches we recommend for each:

Colour
Considering the colour of a girl's watch before making a purchase is extremely underrated, but very important. Every person has either a warm, cool, or neutral skin tone. If your veins appear blue or purple, you have a cool skin tone.
If your veins look green or a greenish blue, you have a warm skin tone. If you can't tell whether or not your veins are green or blue, you probably have a neutral skin tone. Often certain colours compliment certain skin tones and it is important to take this factor into consideration before making your watch purchase. Here are three Helix watches, one for each type of skin tone:
If you've got a warm skin tone, the colours that will compliment you most are rich reflections of nature. On the warm side of the color wheel, you should turn to red, peach, coral, orange, amber, gold, and yellow. This coral watch from Helix will look great on anyone with a warm skin tone. Pair it with other coral accessories to give a cohesive feel.
2. Navy Dust Dial Leather Strap Watch

3. White #hashtag themed Leather Strap Watch
As a neutral, you can wear anything on the color wheel — but it's typically best to go for softened or muted versions of a colour instead of the brighter ones. Choose colors like dusty pink, jade green, cornsilk yellow, or lagoon blue. For neutral colors, turn to off-whites, coffee, mid-range grays, and black. This themed Helix watch in white is sure to be a favourite in your wardrobe. The rose gold accents just further its wow factor!
Occasion
Last, but definitely not least, it is important to consider the purpose of the girl's watch- where is it going to be worn? Formal occasions or casual ones? Or a watch that can easily pass for both. Especially as a gifting watch, it is important to consider where exactly it will be worn as it helps streamline the ideal watch out of many.
