Hi, I’m new to the watch world. I am in love with this watch, what are your thoughts about it and is it a good brand? I appreciate it so much! I’m 45 and the only watch I’ve ever had is the Apple Watch, but I’ve been getting a lot of interest in real watches. This watch is $3800 a little too much for me, are there any other similar brands that look like this one maybe? I appreciate your input.

    Longines is my favorite watch brand. It’s just the best value for money there is. If this is the watch you want I suggest you wait and save instead of trying to find a cheaper look a like. It’ll just be a waste of money buying a watch that isn’t the one you want.

    I would just suggest you think about if you can actually wear a dress watch like this often. Because I made the mistake of buying something like this as my first expensive watch just to see that I couldn’t wear it often due to my casual utilitarian clothing.

      change the band and it’s not a dress watch. the face is beautiful and reminds me off some non-moonwatch speedys. Love the color!

      People here can be kind of stuffy. I wear my Planet Oceans with everything. t-shirts, suits, etc. If my boss can wear a fitbit with a suit, I can wear anyhthing I want!

      I will also say, plenty of people wear dress watches with casual attire. There are norms that some people want to follow, and more power to them, but I know people who confidently rock a dress watch in a tee and sweats and others who wear a sports watch with a suit. I personally love doing both!
