Today, my supervisor let me know that I won our work competition in which the prize is a watch priced $500 or less.

My supervisor is leaving on vacation and would like a final answer from me by the end of tomorrow or Thursday (11/23) so that he may order it for me.

Truth be told I am not a huge watch person, but with black Friday deals happening I was wondering if any of you might be able to drop some watch suggestions in the comments here. Iโ€™d greatly appreciate the help. And thank you in advance & happy holidays!

Always thought this Scurfa would work great as a ladies gada watch:

I know Iโ€™m going to get beaten up by this sub, but if youโ€™re not a watch person youโ€™re likely to really enjoy an Apple Watch 9

My wife chooses her Apple Watch 4 over the Cartier Tank Solo I bought her many years back ๐Ÿ˜‚

Tissot seastar 1000 (36mm) in white or a Lip T18

Slightly biased, those are my wifeโ€™s watches

Citizen Eco Drives are forgettable in a good way, available in a ton of styles, and mostly within your price.

The ones marketed as women's are pretty small. It's a classic feminine look, totally valid.

You also see women wearing unisex watches, about a 36 mm case. On a lot of women's wrists, it's the same proportions as a contemporary man's watch on a man's wrist. To my eye, it's a little more of a statement, "I have the right to vote and nobody cosigns my credit card." Also totally valid. (Side note, I have a 36 mm watch for my average-sized man's wrist, it looks a little small next to my other watches but it's extremely wearable and was the style for a long time, this is all made up anyway.)

Hamilton is also nice if you can find a deal. Normally they start between $500-600.
