21yo with no experience in watches. Want something reliable that can last decades with proper maintenance. Looking for a watch I can wear to work and maintain a professional appearance. I am looking for something in the Tissot/Longines range.

For context I only own Casio watches at the moment so I’m a huge noob when it comes to watches.

    Honestly I would recommend you actually research the topic and look into it. Dont spend 4k on something some random guy on the internet suggested and you know nothing about. Seems like a waste of money - nobody needs a watch. Invest a bit of time into it and instead buy something you know you want, you appreciate and you associate a journey with. Coz you know… it’s 4k.

    I understand what you are asking, but without some guidance as to your personal preferences, that is asking a lot. For example, you should be able to narrow down some options you like by just looking online. For example:

    • Bezel or no bezel
    • Diver or no diver
    • Metal bracelet or leather strap?
    • Gold ?
    • What color dial face do you prefer? (Black, white, blue, green, etc…)
    • Size? What size is your wrist? Measure it, and go try on some watches to see what size looks comfortable on you, this is a big factor, and come back with a decision. For example 40mm or smaller? 40mm or larger?
    • Chronograph?
    • Any other complications you like?
    • GMT?

    Once you have some preferences, people here can give you some guidance.

    I’d say Tudor black bay 58, I’d definitely go with this is I was in your position. Also the Longines spirit collection has been killing it lately, so check them out too

    Based on the details you provided, it sounds like you’re off to a good start. You can get a Tissot PRX for as little as $400 for the quartz version and around $700 for the automatic (or even a little bit lower for both models if you shop around!), then save the rest. Or you could just pocket the $4,000 and save it for a bigger watch purchase that you might really like down the line. Either way, I recommend further research on what you really want (and can live with!), and if you narrowed down your choices and are still undecided, feel free to make another post on the channel. 🤗
