Short answer
For a watch gift, match the style to the person: classic analog for office wear, sporty digital for students and active people, slim bracelet watches for women, couple watches for weddings and anniversaries, and wall clocks for housewarmings. Set a budget, know their wrist size if possible, and buy from a shop that offers after-sales help.

Tips before you buy
Know your budget, think about where they'll wear it (office, college, sports), and if possible find out their wrist size so the strap can be adjusted before you gift it.
