Hey everyone! I'm on a mission to find the ideal black watch for my boyfriend's upcoming birthday, and I could really use your expertise and opinions. After some scouting, I've narrowed down my options to two Seiko watches that caught my eye:

  1. https://www.seikowatches.com/au-en/products/discovermore/ssb415
  2. https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/products/5sports/srpd65

I'm not a watch expert, and neither is my boyfriend, but he likes them. I'm aiming for a watch that not only looks good but might also liked by those in the know. So, which one do you think would make a better gift?

If you have any other black watch suggestions, feel free to drop them in the comments. I'm open to exploring more options, thanks in advance for your help!

It depends on what you are looking for. If you are getting quartz watch (first Seiko, it needs batteries) you shouldn't go wrong with any. You won't have to maintain as automatic (second Seiko, it works without battery powering up by wearing it, it has mechanism inside and doesn't require electricity). Mechanical watches ofc will be tended to from time to time. If you want to get your bf into watches - het him automatic mechanical as your second choice:).

Well, I just want a nice watch with a black metal bracelet :D I haven't really thought about the type of watch or maintenance, thanks for pointing that out!
