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!

SSC813 Solar Quartz. Looks good on the stock bracelet or leather or rubber. Better finishing than a Seiko 5. No maintenance for 15-20 years. Convenient. Accurate. None of the cheap Seiko mechanical watch BS like losing or gaining half a minute a day.
