Do you lend your watches to your significant other to see if they get into watches too? 😈
Or at least, because you believe they will understand why you spend so much on an obsolete piece of technology? 😂

My wrists are much larger than my wife’s, and she doesn’t like wearing watches, so low chance of sharing.
I’m working hard on my kids. 😆
The Brew watches are quite interesting, haven't seen one in person yet.

The quality is very nice, I paid more than retail but totally worth it :)
No, don’t share your watches. My take is that the secret to getting zeh ladies into watches is getting them watches that they actually want and not force watches that you think are cool for whatever reason. I got my significant other a 1980s Cartier 21 de Must. I explained why I got it. It was produced during her birth year. It’s the pinnacle of French watchmaking, and that’s important because she lives in France. It’s practically jewelry from a company that’s known for both their watches and jewelries. It’s a brand that fits right in with her YSL bag obsession. It’s quartz so she doesn’t have to tinker with it. I tried to explain to her why Cartier is a great horological name. She doesn’t care. She just loves that it’s a Cartier. She loves it and had gifted me a watch as well. Now she’s looking at Longines for her next watch because she saw a female colleague wearing one one time.
Most women I know don’t care about watches but when I tell them all of the above, they get all melted over the thoughtfulness, the clear symbolic intent of the watch, and the exorbitant price it must have set me back. Don’t care why Cartier is an important watch brand, they just care that it’s a romantic gesture.
Yes, when it comes to gifts it’s the thought that counts. The problem is many men think about what would appeal to them instead of what would appeal to their partners.

I'll cross my fingers for you 🤞

No! I don't force anything :) I just ask if she wants to try a watch out, the first one was the timex weekender and she loved it so much that I bought her one the same as mine ! 😂
Now she can't live without it, and wants to buy another timex, she really likes the brand !
So I let her try what I have just to let her explore and understand what she likes, unfortunately I don't have the money to buy her a Cartier or anything more that 100 dollars 🥲 but like me she does not care about heritage at all and she just want a watch that fits her taste aesthetic wise.
I think that everyone has their way to get into this hobby and I just give her options to try out, nothing is forced here.

Oh I wasn’t referring to you. I was referring to most men and most gifts. A friend of mine once gifted his wife with plastic roses because “they last forever”. The quality of the thought matters in gifts is my point.
Bought the SO this . . . .
Looks like she's coming to the dark side now . .
Lol joking 😂😂😂
God why am I so stupid
