My good lady hits a significant milestone this year and I was looking at getting her a watch

Thinking stainless - she's not massively into gold or bling. Her engagement ring/wedding ring etc are white gold and other than that she tends to just wear costume jewellery

Need something fairly decent size - she's not into small and dainty. She has mentioned a TAG in passing but, if i'm honest, this would probably be out of budget

Does anybody have any ideas they could steer me towards? Thinking budget up to around £400 top end

I was looking at the Tissot 36mm for my wife, she’s not really into watches but has a few different cheapies, pretty nice in the flesh

If she js into divers, the Tissot 36mm seastar is an attractive watch in budget..looks a lot like an Oris.

A Seiko Presage 'Cocktail Time' would suit the bill. Lots of colourways available.

Not sure the Mondaine or the Inox would really be her sort of thing

The Tissot T Classic looks a decent option. I like the Seastar but don't think they are her cup of tea either - and I think a 36mm case might be a bit large
