Any suggestions for <$250 dress watch to go with a blue suit (this color, or therabouts) for my wedding? I imagine a blue dial would be nice, but I'm worried about having the watch be one or two shades off from the suit--I guess that's a fashion faux paus?

I tend to like simpler/Bauhaus-adjacent styles (e.g. Nomos/Sternglas), but could also be playful in terms of dial face. For example, I loved the Asterisk National Park watches (I spend a lot of time outdoors) and would've pulled the trigger on one if they'd had a park I was more connected to. Another brand I like the look of is NordGreen, but they seem pretty pricy for quartz.

I'd prefer automatic, but I imagine that's a pipe dream given my price range for my wedding?

Anyways, looking forward to hearing from y'all and seeing watches that you like! I'm also down to learn about/see watches you love even if they don't fit into my price range. What did you wear for your wedding?

Haha I was actually thinking of brown shoes and belt. I’m on the fence re bracelets in general, but my fiancé very much dislikes them, so I think I’d go with another watch before doing this one with a steel bracelet unfortunately. Not really a formality issue-she just really doesn’t like them, haha. Which is a shame, because the watch you recommended is breathtaking and actually within my budget, lol
