I met a woman through a dating club, and we’ve been seeing each other for six months (about once a week). When I asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said, “I’d like a watch because I want to feel your presence every day at work.”
This content is machine-translated.
I’m not very familiar with watch brands, so could you recommend something?
She works in an office.
When I used to work as a company president’s secretary, he gave me an Apple Watch so I could come whenever he called. Then he said, “It would be nice if we could put GPS on it,” and it sent chills down my spine…
How about a white Chanel one? They’re cute, though a little pricey…

An Apple Watch would work. If you don’t have one, any smartwatch should do.
Then keep a LINE call or something connected constantly, and you’ll really feel each other’s presence. There are actually couples who do this.
Just don’t forget to mute it when you go to the bathroom♪

An Hermès Apple Watch—an Apple Watch HERMÈS (around ¥150,000)—seems like a reasonably priced option, too.
Personally, I’m not really sure what makes it so appealing—it’s still an Apple Watch, after all (though I suppose having “HERMÈS” displayed on it is part of the appeal). But I feel that someone who has an iPhone might like it.
Still, I think the safest bet is to ask what they want.
For men, more people seem to have strong preferences when it comes to watches, so if you give them one, there’s probably a good chance it won’t match their taste.
Even with women, if they specifically want a watch, they may have particular preferences as well.

I think she didn’t mention any specific brands or models because there are several she’d like, with prices ranging widely, so she doesn’t know what kind of budget you have.
The best thing to do is ask her directly, but for something that won’t look out of place at work, maybe a Cartier Tank would be a good choice. Try Googling it. I have a Tank Française and a Rolex that I received from my papa (a male supporter).
As for your budget, since you’ve only been seeing each other for six months, I think you should look for something in the 100,000–200,000 yen range. If it’s too expensive, the relationship probably won’t last.

I’m Tsubaki, a female member who loves watches♪
Here are some recommendations by budget, off the top of my head.
ーーーーー
〜¥100,000
Olivia Burton (cute)
Citizen wicca (simple)
Michael Kors (bold)
Coach (stylish)
Hamilton Ventura (unique)
〜¥500,000
Cartier Tank
Tiffany 1837
Above that
Rolex
A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia
Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
ーーーーー
By the way, the two watches I want most right now are the Hamilton Ventura and the Saxonia♡
Since you mentioned you’re an office worker,
obviously luxurious watches like Rolex might not be very practical for everyday wear,
and could end up drawing a lot of attention at work.
So my top recommendations would be the wicca or the Tank.

Recently, my wife bought an Apple Watch, but before that, she had been using a knockoff as a trial.
Apparently, she ended up buying the Apple Watch because the knockoff was easier to use.
But she says the Apple Watch itself is kind of disappointing. This may just be her personal opinion, but either one would probably make a nice gift… Though I guess Apple is still the safer choice.
If she’s an office worker, it would probably be safest to choose something that fits her workplace.
If it’s from a girl, it would probably be best to keep it around ¥50,000–¥80,000—or ¥50,000–¥180,000 at most if you’re buying one. I can’t remember the brand name…
When you had that conversation, didn’t it come up naturally to ask, “Which brand do you like?”

I’m Misei, a female member.
Watches range widely in price, so it really depends on your budget…
Why not start by asking which brand of watch she would like?
SEIKO offers good-quality watches for up to around ¥100,000, while Rolex prices vary by model—and they’ve gone up so much that some are now very difficult to get.
Of course, it depends on her age, but I’d be delighted to receive either a Cartier or a Rolex.
Addendum:
Marika, our answers overlapped a little…
Sorry about that. I’m jealous that you’re getting a Rolex as a gift!
Tsubaki,
You really like watches, don’t you! I think that’s a wonderful suggestion. I’ve given a Hamilton to a man before, but I’ve never bought one for myself, so I think it’s really cool that you chose the Ventura(^^) I also get a lot of use out of my Cartier Tank.

Maybe a smartwatch! I’m not very familiar with them, but I think one with lots of features would be useful (*^^*)
They’re not essential for me, but you can use them for electronic payments and things like that, too.

I went with Apple and gave them to several people.
P.S. If you won’t be satisfied unless it costs several hundred thousand yen or is a luxury brand, then I think you should go with an Hermès Apple Watch.

Without knowing the budget, it’s hard to say.
The watches I’ve received are a ROLEX, a Grand Seiko, and a Garmin smartwatch. The most expensive was the ROLEX, which was around ¥700,000, and the least expensive was the Garmin, which was in the ¥30,000 range. I love them all.
Oh, I also received a Citizen solar radio-controlled watch a long time ago. It was really convenient.
(I’m using the past tense because I lost it—sorry.)
I think it cost a little over ¥100,000.
Marika
By the way, with the ROLEX, he said, “I’ll buy you a watch. What would you like?” so I told him what I wanted.
With the Grand Seiko, he said he wanted to give me a watch, picked out a few models, and we went shopping for it together.
The Garmin was more like, “I use this, and it’s really good!” “It looks great!” “Then I’ll give you one when we meet next time!”
As for the Citizen, I think my papa (a male supporter) bought it and brought it to me, but I’m not completely sure. That was 20 years ago.
I was happy with all of them.
