Trying to pick out a birthday gift for my girlfriend who currently does not wear a watch. I’m deciding between the following and wondering if anyone owns these and can attest to their quality. $100-200 range.

-Timex North Pole or whatever, the Khaki knockoff. Seems the best value, but I wonder if a hand wound watch would be a pain for a non watch nerd.

-Seiko SNKE49, technically mens but its very thin, and the Seiko womens look positively minuscule

-Casio A10000D-7, the all metal Casio. It’s my favorite, but I wonder if non watch nerds would appreciate a Casio?

-Casio Tiffany womens, apparently the mens is always sold out but not the womens

-Swatch Piet Mondrain; she’s a teacher so this might be cool

-Vostok Kommandirsky; she’s a communist after all

Trying to think of this from the perspective of someone new to watches. Any other recommendations are appreciated, thanks very much!
