She wears nice clothes to work so I wanted to buy her a dress watch. The main thing I’m unsure about is whether to get her an automatic or quartz watch. I don’t know for certain how much she’ll actually wear it (I hope she wears it a lot) and my concern is if she doesn’t wear it a lot she won’t want the hassle of resetting the time.

Anyone have any experience with buying their significant other who isn’t into watches a watch?

Also any suggestions on dress watches that are $250 or less? Currently looking at some Seikos and Tissots.

    Have you asked her? Even if you’re keeping it a surprise you could bring up movements in the context of your watches and see what she thinks

    If it´s expensive, mechanical. Shame to waste precious metal and gems on a quartz. If your budget is over €500 I´d go for a mechanical watch. If under, quartz if she will wear it on occasion only.
