Hi all,

Was hoping the keen minds of the watch reddit group can help me pick a watch for my girlfreind. She has asked for a watch this X-mas and being a watch lover myself I was more than happy to oblige, only issue is I am struggling to pick one.

I personally don't have enough money to buy very expensive watches, I normally go for second hand on eBay. So far have brought myself a Orient Esteem, Citezen pro master diver and Hamilton Khaki field. That being said, I have found purchasing/browsing women's watches are a whole different ball game. I cant really find any automatic watches within budget with the style she wants.

She has asked for a square style watch(ideally but not 100% necessary) and it needs to be completely silver to match her jewelry. I have a £200 budget to facilitate this purchase and would of liked to buy her something with a little more heritage than a fashion watch.

I love her very much and want to do right by her.

For reference this is the style she likes. https://www.hexterandbaines.com/gala-duo-silver-pearl

If any one has any suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

Tom

No offense but if your looking for a watch on a budget of $250-300 skip the tacky crystal laden fashion watches. Go for something sinple with some class. The Seiko Essentials line has several. Seeing that you want silver to match your girlfriends jewelry. SWR085, SWR053, SWR083 if you can track one down (Sold out on Seikousa.com ). Citizen might also have options within your budget.
