Watches

The Seiko. I don’t wear gold, but I am very fond of Seiko’s look and comfort. My wrists are small-ish at 165mm and I wear watches 28-36mm. Any bigger than 36mm and it starts looking comically childish on me. (And 36mm is pushing the limit on me.)

These two are very different styles, so think about how she likes to dress. Classic and timeless? Wool, linen, silk? Irish fisherman sweater and faded jeans?Go with the Seiko. Trendy and edgy? Modal, polyester, tencel? Patagonia Techface and Lululemon leggings? The Tissot.

I think she’s the one who will need to make the choice. Can you arrange to have her try both? I know it sort of ruins the surprise, but you have narrowed it down to two which is serious work!
