Warning, T-10 days until Mothers’ Day. With a budget of $500USD, what watch would you buy for the mom/wife/partner/better half in your life? Suggestions need to be for watches that are readily available so it can be gifted on time. Also, a watch for a smaller wrist is needed. Thank you all!

My nerd mom was perfectly happy with her $70 Snoopy Weekender.

My wife, though, really likes the Celebration Dial OP.

Good thing she didn’t marry me for the money.

We do have matching Weekenders we got years back from a Kohl’s sale haha. You’re killing me with the Rolex 🤣

I mean, my wife really does like the look of the new OP. However, she’s a very practical and down-to-earth woman. She’d be beyond upset if I bought that for her. What can I say? I’m blessed. And so is she, with her Swatch.

I gifted a Seiko Presage cocktail SRP841 to my girlfriend last year. It's a stunning little piece for around $300. There are a few other colours and dial variants with diamonds.

These might be the droids I’m looking for. Inflation pricing though so they’re closer to $350 now for SRP839 Sky Pink and $450 for the Blue color way. Dollar to Yen conversion rate is 📈

Nice choice, though might be a tad too large for my wife.

The retail price is $450, but they are quite discounted models at the ADs. I bought it through Seiko AD and got a 25% discount so it was a good deal. The Pink variant is very nice too, its a very subtle hue and pink pops only in low light.

Get it from an AD, you will find a good deal.

My wife likes the kind of gift that folds and goes in her wallet. I learned that after the frying pan firestorm......
