I am looking for some advice. It's our 10th Wedding Anniversary in September and I want to get a special watch for my wife that she can wear every day if she wants or keep for special occasions.

She has always wanted a Cartier Tank but when she tried one she wasn't convinced it looked right (I have the same with a Heuer Monaco).

She really likes wearing my Omega Seamaster but his and hers may be a bit twee. I'm not a fan of women's Omega Constellations etc.

I am considering the Hublot Classic Fusion. Does anyone have any experience of these or other recommendations please?

Thanks

Thanks GCH, I hadn't considered that but looks a good call! No retailers near me but will try to plan a trip to view.

If she likes the Seamaster buy her one.
Mrs WnT & I have one, but we don't necessarily wear them out at the same time.

Has she got bigger or slender wrists?

Hi So, her wrists are bigger, hence she didn't like the Tank. She currently has an Oris similar to this one https://www.jomashop.com/oris-watch-01-561-7656-40... which was slightly chunkier and likes my full size Seamaster (blue face and bezel).

Then maybe she could look at the Cartier mid-size watches. The Tank Francaise is a lovely design and available midsize.

Rolex also has some good-looking midsize models.

Depending upon the lady in question, I would be looking for a quartz.

Recently bought my wife a blue Longines Hydroconquest 34mm quartz that has been very well received as a day to day sporty type watch.

Seem to me to be very good value the Hydroconquests.

I am not sure "good value" is high on the list of criteria for most women.
