The “couples torture” show at the end of 2017 may seem harsh to singles, but from the perspective of those in relationships, expressing love at the center of the world is a completely natural act. If you’re in love, why not show it?
When a couple wears matching outfits, even without holding hands, their electric chemistry is palpable.
Ni Ni and Jing Boran are definitely role models for fashionable couples.
And then there’s the couple Tang Yan and Luo Jin. When they first went public, they weren’t shy about showing affection either. Their matching outfits are even more elevated—they retain their individual styles while complementing each other. With them, couple outfits have reached an advanced level of evolution.
AllThey say that people in love even develop similar tastes, and wearing matching outfits is the perfect embodiment of that. But clothing is rather eye-catching, and some prefer a more low-key way of expressing affection—subtle, just between the two of you.
When it comes to subtle displays of love, there are plenty of options: rings, bracelets, necklaces—these are all popular gifts between couples. But with so many choices, they can easily become cliché. In my opinion, the best “love token” for couples has to be watches.
Watches are tools for keeping time. When you each have one, it symbolizes carving time together, symbolizing constant companionship. What could be more romantic or sentimental than that?!
Just look at the loving couple Lu Yi and Bao Lei, each wearing a matching couple watch. Doesn’t it look incredibly harmonious? These little details of connection are probably what feel the most thoughtful and heartwarming.
Now take a look at the celestial couple Cecilia Cheung and Nicholas Tse—the men’s watch highlights Nicholas’s masculinity, while the women’s watch makes Cecilia look as gentle as water. These two small items make the couple even more perfectly matched.
For those already immune to these power couples, check out the next image to get your nerves tingling (evil grin from the editor).
Not long ago, Lu Han boldly admitted his relationship with Guan XiaotongTong.Even if he hadn’t announced it, you’d have instantly figured it out just by looking at their matching watches... Ouch.
All this talk is just to imagine how, in daily life, a casual glance at your watch to check the time can instantly connect you to him. Ah~~~ Just thinking about it is so romantic !
But if you’re wondering which couple watches are most worth recommending right now, today I’ll go the extra mile and introduce two of the latest hit models !
The G-SHOCK 0?ABY-G brand is a household name in Japan, and reportedly even used by U.S. military agencies, which speaks to its precision and durability. All of Japan’s high-tech know-how is packed into these watches ! And these aren’t some antique relics—their designs are trendier and more fashionable than ever, perfect for young people aged 20–30 who love sports and have a hip-hop vibe.
Today, we’re introducing their brand-new models. First, let’s take a look at this cool all-black G-SHOCK 0?ABY-G set.
This couple watch set is a bit like the Tang Yan and Luo Jin pair we mentioned earlier. Though they belong to two sub-brands and have slightly different design details, together they are incredibly harmonious and well-matched.
Actually, the women’s model is called the G-MS series, redesigned based on the men’s model (G-STEEL). The designer originally intended for these two to be a pair.
Guys look absolutely dashing in the all-black men’s watch, but girls might hesitate—does an all-black watch look too masculine, lacking femininity?
Not at all, not at all. Black may be neutral, but when paired just right, it can actually highlight a blend of strength and softness ! Plus, going for a cool look every now and then is a style of its own !
This watch not only offers everyday enhanced water resistance (for activities like water sports), but also solar charging—even from fluorescent lights !Easilyreduces the hassle of battery replacements.
The coolest part? This watch can receive radio signals from six regions worldwide andcanautomatically adjust the time to ensure accuracy.
But if you're really worried about not being able to pull off the black version, there's actually a more fresh and unique white version waiting for you to choose.
This watch is one of the newest releases from G-SHOCK’s 0?ABY-G 2017 new collection, and it only went on sale on November 23rd as a limited edition item for this year's Christmas.This is a limited-edition product for the holidays.
This series is called “G PRESENTS LOVER’S COLLECTION,”themed around“Love is the most powerful force in the universe.” The men’s watch is adorned with stars, while the women’s watch features an embedded crescent moon.
White paired with gold has always been one of the trendiest design elements, and G-SHOCK has used white as the base color, accented with golden hour and minute hands—how stylish is that?!
On the glossy white dial, decorations of stars and the moon from the universe are added, and this design is simply a girl’s dream come true. The design with stars for the men’s watch and the moon for the women’s seems to convey a romantic message of love—“you shine on me, making me glow.” It also feels like saying that the stars and the moon coexist in the vast universe, hard to fade or disappear, just like love—eternal and ever-new.
Not only are the dials beautiful, but the exquisite design of these two watches extends to every detail. Take a look at the angel and demon pattern shown above—it’s actually the engraved pattern on the back of the watch. A blend of angel and demon, may your love be just as romantic andunique.
In addition, this watch comes with a special package, and just with this sweet heart-shaped box, this gift is a must-buy.
You think it’s just pretty? Of course not~ Not only is it fully waterproof for daily use (swimming, showering) without any issues, but it also allows you to set five different alarms, with one of them even featuring a snooze function. There’s also world time and other functions to fully meet your needs~
Whether it’s the sparkling Christmas season or the joyful New Year, if you’re still worrying about what gift to give your other half, couple watches are truly the most heartfelt recommendation from the editor. Give them a watch, see it worn on their wrist at all times, and even the coldest season will instantly feel warm because of it.
