How to react and what to say when people compliment your watch?

Just like dressing up, wearing a striking watch can easily make people compliment you. This gesture is common not just for watch lovers but for almost everyone who knows how to appreciate real beauty when they see it. For some, however, crafting the best response can be difficult and awkward.

Most compliments are always made with good intentions. Sometimes, a simple thank you is enough but you can always turn the situation into a memorable one! If you are caught up with words, below are some ways you can react and respond when people compliment your watch.

1. Be confident.

Don’t be timid and try to make the encounter light by not acting surprised at all. You can also return the compliment to them and strike a short conversation. You might even make other’s day by doing this.

2. Be clever.

Try to come up with a smooth and clever reply like “Thank you, I love my watch too”, which can simply break the ice.

3. Be nice.

Taking a compliment and starting a simple conversation can make someone’s day. You can go ahead and tell a quick story about your watch and why you are wearing it. If you got a nice piece of wrist wood watch, you can talk about how it is a good eco-conscious choice.

4. Be fun.

You can also add a little humor to your response to make the encounter light. You can jokingly tell about your great taste in watches and give funny tips.

There is no written rule of etiquette among watch lovers but it wouldn’t hurt to always be polite when someone is just trying to be nice and say nice things about your watch. Remember also to always relax and be grateful.
