Hi all,
I received a watch as a gift. I am wondering, however, whether it's the right watch for me and/or whether I should exchange it for something different. Any insight would be really helpful!
A couple of things:
I don't own a "nice" watch. I own an inexpensive and simple Skagen watch on a black leather strap that I wear when I dress up and need to wear something. Otherwise I have a couple of $50-200 watches that I don't really like all that much.
I received a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 39mm quartz (WAP1110.BA0831). I hate having to change batteries and the style isn't EXACTLY what I would choose for myself (though I do like diver watches generally), so I was considering exchanging it and pitching in a bit more money for a similarly styled automatic movement (WAN2110.BA0822). I know that it was purchased at Macy's, so I could bring it back and exchange for whatever is available there and Macy's has the WAN2110.BA0822.
A few things I've been thinking about:
- The price seems high for something that I won't LOVE to wear.
- How reliable are Tags?
- Is the automatic (WAN2110.BA0822) a step up, or simply a more expensive step sideways?
- Are there 'better' (more reliable, longer-lasting, classier/more classic) watches available at Macy's? Victorinox maybe?
Thanks in advance.
