Hey everyone! I’m on a mission to find the ideal black watch for my boyfriend’s upcoming birthday, and I could really use your expertise and opinions. After some scouting, I’ve narrowed down my options to two Seiko watches that caught my eye:

- https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/products/5sports/srpd65
I’m not a watch expert, and neither is my boyfriend, but he likes them. I’m aiming for a watch that not only looks good but might also liked by those in the know. So, which one do you think would make a better gift?
If you have any other black watch suggestions, feel free to drop them in the comments. I’m open to exploring more options, thanks in advance for your help!
I would go with the SRPD65. This is based on your request for watches that watch enthusiasts will care more about even though 99.9% of people are not watch enthusiasts. You would be more than fine with either of these though.
-For people in the know, automatic movements get more respect than quartz. It shouldn’t matter, but he will get a little more street cred.
-The “SKX style” is pretty famous among watch people. It’s also just easier to read.
-Depending on how big his wrist is the other watch might be a little too big, but I have a pretty strong preference for smaller watches so that could just be my bias talking.
I’m from the Balkans, the australian link is the first one that poped up when I googled the watches.
