Some consider it a bad omen to give a watch in principle, especially dangerous is such a present for a beloved man.
Why do not they give a watch to a beloved man?
Bad signs associated with such an innocuous, at first glance, a lot of gifts. Let us consider only some of them. For example, in China it is believed that the clock received as a gift can be equated to an invitation to a funeral. It is not entirely clear how the Chinese beliefs act on us, and about whose funeral it is. However, these facts do not prevent a large number of people from believing in a sign that one can not give a watch.
There are also our Slavic signs associated with this gift. They try to explain to what the wrist watch gives, and everything is in a gloomy light. So, according to the beliefs, this gift is sure to entail a long separation on the recipient with a loved one or just a close person. Therefore, some wives avoid such gifts to their husbands, fearing to bring misfortune upon themselves.
Here is another belief: one who gives a watch shortens a person's life, for whom they are intended.
To some it may seem strange, but the watch falls under the category of sharp objects, because they have a beating glass in their composition. And there is a sign that in no case can you present presents to people who have sharp details as gifts, because this means the destruction of relations and other links.

How to give a watch to a man?
Deciding to make such a gift to a man, one must clearly understand that he is not faithful and any beliefs for him absolutely mean nothing. In this case, he will appreciate the gift, otherwise - present will become a burden for him, and for the donor will create an awkward situation.

Of course, one must take into account the specific nature of a person. If a man does not fundamentally use the clock and learns the time with the help of a mobile phone, maybe he should not be burdened by them. In addition, this accessory should fit the recipient's style, the director should not be given a sports watch model, and the courier should have a classic. With a director's gift in general, one must be very cautious and be aware of whether there is enough money to buy a quality item.
If a man is superstitious, but at the same time very much wants to get a watch, a beloved woman can sell them for a symbolic price. Then the clock will no longer be a gift, but a purchase.
