I found this old watch quite recently and I am wondering if it is a men's watch or a women's watch. If it's a men's, well I could wear it otherwise I could gift it ๐
I'll look into it, but you can wear it regardless.
Well, oddly that XZ89-V1 code on the back has no internet presence. But seeing it on wrist removes all doubt to me. This is no female-size watch, and if it's actually pretty large for the style if one has a sensibility that goes back before the smartphone era.

Does it fit? Do you like it? If yes, itโs a menโs watch. Iโm not being sarcastic or rude, I promise. These days such distinctions are more or less meaningless.
Iโm a firm believer that if you want to wear a watch and youโre happy doing so - who cares? ๐
'Tank' Style watches were originally 'human female' watches that were appropriated by manly he-dudes because they are sick looking~
Sort of like how wrist watches were originally only for 'hoo-man fee-maaales' up until world war one, where manly he-dudes realized that having to fumble with your pocket watch to get the timing right on walking behind the creeping barrage into no-man's-land was a bit of a folly.
(Why were all wrist watches considered effeminate? Because women's clothes didn't have pockets for pocket watches.)
I think genders for watches is a bit silly. Wear what looks cool to you, and maybe with a consideration as to how it is proportioned to your wrist.
(But even then, most men's watches from previous decades were really tiny compared to what we have now so don't consider 'proper proportions' to be anything but the style at this particular moment)
BTW, the company name on the dial, Hettich, apparently belongs to a German furniture fitting manufacturer. I'm highly skeptical that such an outfit would commission a batch of women's watches.
I'd have no problem with it. I think we're moving away from that way if looking at things, it's more about whether you like it. I've happily worn the Mrs MoonSwatch Venus (pink). She wears a VC tank that's 22 x 46, just short of edge to edge on her wrist.

Its almost impossible NOW to get a pair of women's jeans with a usable size pocket watch pocket.

So if you're told it's a womans watch you won't wear it but if you're told a mens watch you will?
Let's go with "unisex" then.
It looks fine.
Itโs watch. Does it fit on your wrist? If so wear with pride.
Looks good on your wrist. But it's the right style for your needs wear it.
Does it fit? Do you like it? If yes, itโs a menโs watch. Iโm not being sarcastic or rude, I promise. These days such distinctions are more or less meaningless.
