Help me find a watch for my mother
My mom's birthday is in April. I would love to gift her a mechanical watch, max 36mm circum.
Not that my mother doesn't deserve more, but my max budget is about 150 dollar.
I'm not too familiar with smaller wrist/lady size mechanical watches so any suggestion is appreciated, thank you!

My father and grandfather taught me early on the importance of having a good watch. My first watch was a Lorus at 6 and my first real watch was a Swatch Irony chrono which still works.

I'd look at Seiko first since they can have a good price and you won't have to worry about it breaking.
or timex
Does your mother like watches or are you getting her one because you like them?
It might be better to look at some with her because it would be a shame to get her something that doesn't end up getting used.
Best of luck. I got my wife a watch several times and she's just not a watch person.

I wouldn't be looking to get her a watch if she wouldn't wear it. She never leaves the home without one and even owns a couple vintage ones, but I can't remember which ones for my life.
even with Timex tough to find an automatic at that pricepoint...Orient is another option but you'd have to raise the price slightly
Here's one

That is her style!

She might like something from Elgin. I think they've got a lot of good looking watches in that price range
