Summer Travel Season: A Perfect Time to Talk About Watch Protection

 As the holiday season kicks into full swing, your customers are packing their bags, planning their getaways – and taking their favourite timepieces along for the ride. Summer offers the perfect opportunity to connect with your customers by highlighting an often-overlooked area: protecting watches while travelling.

Travelling can be tough on watches. From knocks in hand luggage to scratches from being tossed into a hotel safe, it’s all too easy for a treasured timepiece to suffer unnecessary damage. This is where the right travel accessories come in – and it’s also where you can offer real value to your customers.

Here are some key product suggestions from LBS to share with your customers this summer, all available from stock:

Round Watch Travel Cases – The Ultimate Travel Companion

Ideal for customers travelling with a single watch, our Round Watch Travel Cases are crafted with durability and protection in mind. Made from robust materials with a convenient zip opening, each case includes two removable foam inserts to customise the fit – accommodating watches of various sizes.

• Size: Approx. 100mm wide x 60mm deep
• Perfect for hotel safes or for slipping into a travel bag
• Available in 10 vibrant colours
• Hard protective shell for peace of mind on the go

Encourage your customers to pick a colour that matches their style or suitcase – and remind them it’s not just about protecting their watch, it’s about keeping it travel-ready and secure.

Helping You Help Your Customers

Summer is a great time to talk to your customers about how to travel smart with their watches – and the right accessories to keep them protected. Here are a few simple, effective ways to start the conversation:

• Highlight the importance of proper storage

  Suggest using a dedicated travel case or structured watch roll instead of makeshift solutions like socks or glasses cases. A proper case prevents scratches, knocks, and unnecessary wear – and looks much smarter, too.

• Promote the benefits of travelling with more than one watch

  Recommend taking one for daytime adventures (beach, sightseeing, exploring) and another for evening dinners or special occasions. It’s a practical luxury your customers will appreciate.

• Use accessories as easy add-on sales

  Travel cases and pouches are affordable, useful, and seasonally relevant – perfect upsells when someone’s buying a strap or browsing for a gift.

• Feature these products in your marketing

  Share summer-themed posts on social media, update your website with a ‘holiday essentials’ section, or include a quick tip in your next customer email.

• Ask us for support
