Wife watches

[wytex]

My everyday watch is a 1987 Rolex Datejust.
Son is a watchmaker and he cleans it for me every once in a while.
The gunk that comes out of the band is gross he says so now I wear a Tag for hunting seasons.
I really like the Tag.

Just looked up my Tags, I have 2 actually. Holy cow, I payed under $300 for each and the Formula 1 and Aquaracer are insane now.

Not a smart watch fan, Swiss made is the way to go. Think of them as an investment.

I’m somewhat within that category but hard to define. I’m neither wife nor girlfriend but have more estrogen than testosterone though some days it’s the other way around.
Oh, you meant the watch?

More like I was wondering how its going with one of each.

Ok this thread went off the rails pretty quick

Wife and I each got Seiko’s as a wedding gift 37 years ago. They still work great.

I'm a watch geek and collector fwiw. As with anything, it all depends on what you want to spend and overall purpose. Under $150, Casio, Timex and many Seikos are all good choices. The Casio G-shock is virtually indestructible but tends to be a little large. For a bit more money, there are more Seiko's, plus Hamilton and Laco have some nice utility style models. Bulova has a broad range of models also at several different price points.

My wife wears a smart watch...she has gold and diamond watches that she never wears, but that damned computer is always on her wrist.

My advise, from 30 years as a jeweler, if you want a nice watch your lower end should be Seiko or Bulova. If you want to go a little nicer there are a bunch to chose from for $1000 to $100,000. The only higher end brand I tell people to stay away from is Tag Heuer. One of my favorite higher end watch brands is Omega.

Bride has a stainless/gold datejust. Costs as much to have it certifiably serviced as we paid for it.

I said "nice watch", there's nothing wrong with spending $20 on a watch and throwing it away when it stops working.
