Best Strategy

Your link building strategy overall is not good. The links you are building are not authentic and have little value. The fact you have 10k links is relatively meaningless. I can add a footer link to a forum site with 50k pages and then I instantly have 50k links to my site, but they don't add any real value.
The blogs you created on wordpress and blogger may provide links to your site, but they sound like doorway pages. Those micro sites exist for the sole purpose of promoting your website. They likely do not have their own traffic, and the content would likely perform better if it was moved to your main site.
It is easy for anyone to create hundreds of sites linking to their main site, but those links do not have value. If they did, everyone would copy that activity. The point isn't to have links to your site, but to have valuable links to your site. More specifically, links which flow Page Rank. Those new blogs do not have any PR so they can't flow any.
Free directory links offer no value at all in 90%+ of cases. Many of the links are quite spammy and they can do more harm then good, especially for a new site.
Offering Facebook and Twitter pages is a good step if they are actively used. If you use those accounts weekly to share information and encourage your site's visitors to use them as well, they can be very helpful. "10% off your order if you Like our facebook page" is one example of a way to encourage engagement.
Your link building strategy needs to revolve around fantastic content and topics people want to read about. Perform keyword research to determine which industry-related terms are driving the most traffic. Check SERPs for those terms and examine the top 10 results, then create a page which is better then all of them. See who is linking to those pages and find a way to let them know your page exists. They may want to link to your page since it is better.
Try to keep current as well. When you see Justin Bieber is on tour, find out what watch he is wearing and promote it. The new James Bond is out? Well which watch is he using? Ride the wave of hype where ever it takes you.

Ok thanks for reply. In every category in my site I added a 450 words unique content about that category. Plus Im adding every 2 weeks a 100 words fresh content to every one. My site have a blog too - Im adding every 2-3 days a new article to it. So you are saying to submit my site to payed directories and contact people who run good pr site to link to me? (that will be a problem, because this days not many people whant to do that or they charge a lot).

There are relatively few directories which offer value. I would recommend sticking with the ones on this list: http://www.seomoz.org/dp/seo-directory
Paying for a link is a violation of Google's terms. It is highly likely if you pay for a link it will offer zero value to your site, or may even harm your site. When you pay a properly designed directory, you are paying a non-refundable fee for a review of your site. If your site passes the review, your site will then be listed in the directory. Some example sites are: botw.org, business.com, dir.yahoo.com and joeant.
A free directory you can apply to is DMOZ.org. Keep in mind your directory links should be a very small percentage of your overall links. I would recommend no more then about 5% of your total links.
With respect to other links, focus on earning them. You don't want to pay for them. Write about topics people want to learn about. Write content which is "best on the web" type of content, not a generic internet article.

Im confiused a little bit. Because my competitors (watch shops) dont have much page content, they just run small blogs - they dont add much to it. I have rich content. I was checking competitors links - most of them are paid directories, press release sites or even blog comments and some links in wordpress blogs.

That's great news! In that case they should be easy to beat!

You do not want to copy your competitors, you want to beat them. Based on the information you shared it is likely your competitors have many low quality back links which you do not want. You want to earn quality back links. You need people who independently choose to link to you because they like your content. You don't want links because you spammed a blog, paid for them or otherwise manipulated the system. Those links often do not offer any value at all, or are caught later and devalued leading to site owners to ask "why did my site lose it's rankings?"
Fresh blog articles are good IF they target useful keywords AND the content is exceptionally well written. Fresh alone is definitely not good enough.
How this online shops rank for so many keywords for every subdomain if they dont have any content on this subdomains?
In order to possibly guess we would need the name of the site and the keywords they rank for. Then an analysis would need to be performed of the site, it's links, the keywords and so forth.
If you wish to better understand SEO, I strongly recommend reading the Beginner's Guide to SEO. It is a short, outstanding booklet with a lot of accurate and helpful information.
