Thank You for the Proposal with a Watch ♡

What are everyone’s plans for “gifts to thank for the engagement ring”?

It seems that, even if the groom's side does not have a formal engagement ceremony, the honest sentiment is that “it would be nice to receive a tangible keepsake to commemorate the engagement.”

(Isn’t it cute that we women think, “I want an engagement ring, even if there’s no proposal...” ?)

The most popular gift to express gratitude for the engagement ring or to return a wedding gift is, of course, a watch♡ It can be worn all the time, and lasts longer than suits or shoes, making it a perfect special memento.

Like wedding rings, it’s also wonderful to have an item that can evoke the feeling, “This is a testament to our marriage!” at a fleeting glance＊

In this article, we will introduce 7 tips for selecting a wristwatch that will please men, even for women who are not familiar with watches♩

How should we select a watch that blends well with casual wear and looks stylish at work?

We consulted TiCTAC for advice♡

How to Choose a "Classy" Watch＊

Point 1: Make sure it’s from a brand with history!

➡️ For a fashion watch, trendy, casual and new brands may be good, but considering it as a keepsake for marriage... it’s definitely better to choose a brand with history.

Point 2: Be particular about the texture of the dial!

➡️ The impression of the watch is determined by the texture of the dial.

The materials and processing used here can significantly change the image, so opt for high-quality ones.

Point 3: Pay attention to the hands too!

➡️ The element you want to focus on the most is the hands.

A good watch is detailed even in the craftsmanship of the hands.

Point 4: Choose a three-dimensional numeric display for the dial!

➡️ The numeric part is called the index.

Printed versions are inexpensive, but choosing those with embedded metal or showcasing artisanship will enhance the classy feel＊

Point 5: Be mindful of the shape and material of the glass!

➡️ Dome-shaped glass is popular for its vintage watch appearance.

High-hardness sapphire glass is scratch-resistant and lasts long♡

Point 6: Choose the band according to the recipient!

➡️ If in doubt, a classic metal band is recommended.

A three-row band gives a fresh impression, while a five-row band adds a luxurious feel.

For leather, opt for genuine leather.

Point 7: Is it a watch that can be used for a long time?

➡️ After-sales service is a must; domestically produced is preferable.

It’s best to select a mechanical watch that can be used for a long time with maintenance, or a solar radio watch that doesn’t require battery changes or time adjustments.

If you want to buy a watch meeting those criteria within a budget of 100,000 yen!

Here are some recommendations based on budget from SEIKO, a long-established Japanese brand boasting 140 years of history＊
