Surprise your loved ones with something unique to go around their wrist. The MVMT watch is the perfect present for its oversized 47mm green dial, black details and matte stainless steel strap. Bonus points if the recipient is a motorhead because the watch is modelled after the 1960s automobile culture. Part vintage, part contemporary, this audacious timepiece can withstand water pressure of up to 100 metres, which means it can survive most water activities like swimming and snorkeling.

An all-black body accented with golden bezel and dial details, Tommy Hilfiger's Daniel is your go-to accessory on formal evenings. Its black leather band and classic tongue buckle are sure to elevate a well-cut suit. The chronograph dials keep you informed with the day of the week and the date of the month at all times. Splashes of water and rain will not damage the watch since it's water resistant in up to 50 metres of depth.

Swim, surf, go jet skiing or even shower with Casio's G-SHOCK sports watch on. With an impressive 200 metres of water resistance, the watch also cushions against impact in its resin construction, allowing you to play rough worry-free. Designed for the athletic, the watch tells the time in both analogue and digital, but its best feature is its ability to set five daily alarms. Activate the super illuminator LED light to tell the day and time in the dark.

Take it a step further with Citizen's moonphase watch. Track the moon's phases all through the month on the silver dial, contrasting beautifully with the brown leather straps and the gold hour, minute and second hands. The watch is elegant enough to be paired with a dress shirt but also fits right into a casual wardrobe for its bright colours.

Are you a thrill seeker but can't find the right watch to make the trip with you? Consider Amazfit Active Edge's heavy-duty smartwatch, which is certified for withstanding harsh climates. It's fixed with a HD colour touchscreen that reports on blood oxygen levels, heart rate, sleep health, the weather, directions, current altitude and so much more. The Active Edge comes with over 130 sports modes, and an intelligent Strength Training mode that can auto-detect 25 exercise types, track your reps, sets and rest time, and sum up every exercise and muscle group hit during your session, in a post-workout log. You can select from over 100 watch faces, or upload your own pictures to personalise it. The best part? Never fuss about the battery when you're out on a new adventure for at least 18 days. However, do note that having the navigation on, nonstop, will deplete the battery faster.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh23 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh38.

While quartz watches run on batteries, an automatic watch powers up with a little shake instead. Your everyday natural wrist movements will keep the hands ticking for as long as forever, if it's looked after well. Invicta's automatic timepiece has a titanium construction and a deep black dial circled by a unidirectional bezel - this is a minute-marker ring designed specially for divers to keep time underwater. Some reviewers who had their Invicta for over five years are still impressed by the quality and function.

Warranty: Amazon offers a one-year extended warranty for Dh20.30 and a two-year extended warranty for Dh41.
