Summer Watches: Your Guide to Bright & Waterproof Picks

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your accessories and what better way to do so than with a stylish, vibrant, and waterproof watch?

At The Jewel Hut, we’ve curated a selection of summer watches that are perfect for the season’s adventures, whether you’re hitting the beach, hiking, or enjoying a sunny day out. 

In this blog, we’ll explore why summer watches are essential, what features to look for and highlight some top picks from our collection.

Why You Need a Summer Watch

1. Waterproof Protection: Summer often involves water activities, from swimming to water sports. A waterproof watch ensures your timepiece can withstand splashes, rain, and submersion without missing a beat.
2. Durability: Summer adventures can be tough on your accessories. Look for watches that are not only waterproof but also made with durable materials to handle the wear and tear of outdoor activities.
3. Style and Versatility: Bright, colourful watches add a fun element to your summer wardrobe. Whether you prefer bold hues or classic tones, a well-chosen watch can complement your style and elevate your look.

Key Features to Look for in a Summer Watch

1. Water Resistance: Ensure your watch is at least water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM) to handle swimming and light water activities. For more intense water sports, consider watches with higher water resistance levels.
2. Material: Opt for watches with durable materials like stainless steel, silicone, or resin. These materials are not only long-lasting but also comfortable to wear in hot weather.
3. Design: Summer watches come in various designs, from sporty to elegant. Choose a design that fits your personal style and can transition from beach to evening outings seamlessly.
4. Functionality: Look for additional features like a date display, chronograph, and luminous hands, which can enhance the usability of your watch.

How to Care for Your Summer Watch

To ensure your summer watch stays in top condition, follow these care tips:

- Rinse After Exposure to Saltwater: Always rinse your watch with fresh water after swimming in the sea to remove salt and prevent corrosion.

- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can damage the watch’s components. Avoid leaving your watch in direct sunlight or hot environments for extended periods.

- Regular Maintenance: Clean your watch regularly with a soft cloth and check for any signs of wear or damage. If your watch has a leather strap, consider switching to a silicone or resin strap during summer to prevent sweat damage.
