Watch Aces Publishes Holiday Shipping and Engraving Timelines

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Watch Aces, a family-owned online watch retailer based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, has published its 2026 holiday shipping and engraving timelines to help gift buyers plan ahead. The company, which began with five brands sold from a family garage and now carries 16 internationally recognized brands, including Tissot, Citizen, Movado, Burberry, and Tommy Hilfiger, has seen its collection of designer watches under $150 draw strong interest on its website.

Orders placed before 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day ship the same day. Orders placed after 2:00 p.m. ET, or on weekends or holidays, ship the next business day. Engraved orders, which add up to three business days before an order ships, are final sale and cannot be returned. Watches without engraving are covered by the company's standard 60-day return policy.

The company's collection of designer watches under $150 includes popular brands such as Diesel, Michael Kors, Guess, and Tommy Hilfiger. Each brand has a distinct character. Diesel watches are bold, oversized, and industrial, suitable for someone who likes a watch to be noticed. Michael Kors watches are polished, with gold and rose gold tones and crystal accents, fitting a dressier style. Guess watches are glamorous and fashion-forward, often with sparkling details and bold logos, perfect for someone who treats a watch as jewelry. Tommy Hilfiger watches feature classic American styling with sporty details and navy, red, and white accents, suitable for someone with a relaxed, preppy wardrobe.

During the holiday season, featured watches in the collection come with free watch engraving and a gift box. Engraved watches have long marked life's milestones, such as retirement, graduation, and wedding gifts. Popular engraving ideas include initials, a wedding or anniversary date, a graduation year, a pair of map coordinates, or a short line such as "Always on time for you." Short messages read best, because space on a caseback is limited.

Gift ideas by recipient include an engraved anniversary date on a Michael Kors or Guess watch for a partner, a Tommy Hilfiger chronograph with initials for a father or grandfather, a classic watch engraved with the graduation year for a graduate starting a first job, and a Diesel watch with a short personal message for someone who loves bold style.

Watch Aces suggests a few simple checks for gift buyers. Case size, around 42mm and up, makes a bolder statement, while smaller cases sit more comfortably on slimmer wrists. Straps come in metal bracelets, leather, and silicone. Metal bracelets look polished and last well, leather feels classic, and silicone suits active wearers. Water resistance, a rating of 50 meters or more, handles hand washing and rain. Most fashion watches are not designed for swimming or diving. Movement, most watches at this price use quartz movements, which are accurate, need little maintenance, and run for years on a single battery.

Caring for a new watch involves wiping the case and bracelet with a soft cloth after wear, keeping leather straps away from water, and storing the watch in its gift box when it is not on the wrist. When the battery runs low, a professional replacement protects the seals that keep out moisture and dust.

Every watch includes a one-year warranty, and customers have rated Watch Aces 4.2 out of 5 on Trustpilot. The company works through direct distribution agreements with its brand partners and ships watches with manufacturer packaging and documentation.
