Instructions

Opt for more advanced features if you know they will be used by the wearer. These can include altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass and data-link features.

Choose a sport-specific watch if you know what sports the recipient enjoys. These include specialized watches for divers, runners and surfers.

Look for a man's or a woman's watch, whichever is appropriate.

Be sure the band will fit comfortably around the person's wrist. It should be somewhat adjustable.

Check the guarantee and return policies so that the watch can be returned if another model is desired.

Give a gift certificate, if you're not sure which model the recipient would like. Trying to choose from such a large selection of sports watches by different manufacturers can be mind-boggling.

Tips & Warnings

The replica watch comes with an original band, but you might enclose a spare--watchbands do wear out, and new ones are sometimes hard to find for specialty watches.

Expect to pay between $100 and $200 for a top-quality replica sports watch.
