21yo with no experience in watches. Want something reliable that can last decades with proper maintenance. Looking for a watch I can wear to work and maintain a professional appearance. I am looking for something in the Tissot/Longines range.
For context I only own Casio watches at the moment so I’m a huge noob when it comes to watches.
You’re not going to buy a bad watch for 4k. They’re mostly high quality but have different styles. It would help to get a feel for what style you like. Diver? Dress? Chronograph? GADA (go anywhere do anything)?
I guess since this is a gift, you’re on a bit of a tight timeline. My advice was going to be to buy 3 cheap watches, live with them for a while, figure out what you like and don’t like about each and use that to inform your 4k watch purchase.
Barring that, get a Tudor black bay 58 and call it done
