When picking out a special gift for the woman you love, the difficulty of such a simple task becomes apparent quickly. If you find yourself stumped and in need of a gift that combines practicality, fashion and durability, consider picking out a top of the line wristwatch for your special lady.

A great watch can say a lot about its wearer. Watches make great gifts because you can pick out a model that is tailored to your better half's personality. What's more, a high quality watch can become an heirloom that will remind her of you for decades to come. Before you make any decisions on a watch for your special someone, take a look at these standout options.

Renato Women's Limited Edition Beauty Swiss Chronograph Bracelet Watch

For a woman who really appreciates fine workmanship, top of the line materials and subtle stylistic flourishes, you can't go wrong with Renato's Limited Edition Beauty Swiss Chronograph Bracelet Watch. Beginning with the classic link bracelet, your special lady will love the stainless steel silver tone links with a polished inner row and two satin finished rows on the outside.

However, the real show stopper is the dial. Protected by a round stainless steel silver tone bezel and a layer of scratch resistant sapphire crystal, the face, available in white or black, is designed for making an elegant impression while encompassing some very useful functionality.

Three sub dials surround the center of the watch and each features a dazzling array of white diamond accents. Two chronographic sub dials track minutes and seconds, respectively, while the third tracks the moon phase. An Arabic numeral graces the 12 o'clock position and markers appear at each other position except for 6 and 4 o'clock, where you'll find a date window. The slim hands are powered by Swiss ISA 8171 Chronograph movement.

Stuhrling Original Women's Cupid Skeleton Automatic Leather Strap Watch

If you'd prefer to strike a more romantic note, you might appreciate the classic design of Stuhrling Original's Cupid Skeleton Automatic Leather Strap Watch. The first thing you'll notice about this classic design is the shining 16 karat rose gold plated stainless steel case and round bezel that sports a low profile push-pull crown near 4 o'clock.

The eye catching rose tone dial is ringed with stylized Arabic numerals at every position except 2 o'clock. The center of the watch face features a unique heart shaped cut out that reveals the complicated inner workings of the piece's 20 Jewel Caliber ST-90089 Automatic movement in action. For those who truly appreciate good craftsmanship, the large exhibition back allows another view inside.

The watch is finished off with a brown leather strap that is overlaid with bronze satin, creating an elegant complement for the whole piece. For the ultimate in coordination, this watch has easily removable pins and comes with two spare bands, in black and gold tone. The perfect accessory for nearly any occasion, any discerning woman would love this fantastic wristwatch.

Gucci Women's Chiodo Black Dial & Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

If the woman you love has an eye for more daring design, she just might love the Chiodo Black Dial & Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch from Gucci. True to its reputation for upper end accessories, Gucci infuses this distinctive watch with a number of deft artistic features. The thin stainless steel silver tone bracelet suggests an elegant piece of jewelry and leads perfectly to an equally stylized case.

Also executed in silver tone stainless steel, the case is topped with a gracefully tapered round bezel that seems to envelope the dial. Beneath a layer of scratch resistant sapphire crystal, the black watch face is engraved with a pattern that emanates from the center and decked only with the Gucci logo just north of center and a date window near 5 o'clock.

Movado Women's Black Dial & Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

Finally, Movado's Black Dial and Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch is just the ticket for a woman who appreciates the juxtaposition of classic elements and modern design. This piece's intrigue begins with the stainless steel silver tone bracelet, which sports a central row of alternating thin and thick links flanked by a row of slimmer links.

The shining strap is matched by a simple round bezel the tops a stainless steel case and envelops a minimalist watch face. The dial is protected beneath a layer of hardened mineral crystal and sports only the Movado logo and the words "Swiss Made" at the bottom. The silver tone hands are powered by reliable Quartz movement.

With a wide range of watches to suit any occasion on the market, you're bound to find that perfect gift to express your appreciation for the special lady in your life.
