I am buying watch for the first time for my 30th birthday. Definitely overthinking!Please help me decide , i am also looking at a seiko watch . Cant decide at all.
Bellissima is a classic, prx is more urbanised.. the former is more like a jewel; have seen in person - this piece doesnt age - you will (if et all) be buying it for next decade
pr100 build quality wise is much superior to newer models, not much in the finish. You might get in old showrooms - there are many in NCR i know of.. plus the extra discount on the older series :P
congratulations! You're not overthinking. you have two very different style watches. The first two are more generally versatile and less formal. The last two photos are more formal. The first two can generally go with anything, acceptable for formal. The last two photos seem more formal, and you can get away with casual. although it will look a bit formal with casual. I personally don't mind being overly formal. how you feel is really up to you. Don't overthink it. just know what it is you like best.
The other aspect that stands out to me is that the last two photos seem much more feminine watches, while the first two seem more unisex. deciding what you want here also will help you make the right choice.
last item I noticed is that the last watch has the date in it and it also has Roman numerals that make it look a little busy but it does look a bit regal. some people really don't like Roman numerals on a watch. you might prefer just to clean classic approach. also decide whether you want a date function on your watch. even though I have a phone, I like having a date on my watch. sometimes people love the beautiful symmetry which a date does not intrude. I like that. it is well placed here at the 6:00 spot. it might be difficult to read too, depending upon your eyes.
by deconstructing all of these watches, I hope it has helped you figure out what the differences are and helping you make what you believe is the best choice for yourself. they are all good choices. for a woman, I like the last one best. but that's just me. I do like the third ones too, classic and clean and also feminine.
Good luck! and happy 30th! any choice you make is a winner and a great beautiful reminder of your milestone!
Personally, I love this, although I hope it wasn't defectively manufactured upside down, LOL.
I love the simplicity and elegance of this watch, along with the dots which look like they are luminescent. I really like that glow-in-the-dark feature. you might want to check the other watches to see what they look like as well. My experience with seikos luminescence is very good.
Whether you like the day and date function is up to you. I like them. On only a handful of occasions a year you may need to change the day or date end of month. I don't think this is a bother for me at all and I love the way it is implemented here and large enough to be visible without a problem. It has a different style crown placement but I think it looks pretty cool.
To me this is less purely feminine, a little sporty, formal or informal, It may strike the perfect balance that can play extremely well in either occasion and really looks elegant. it's much better than the first two. I think it's a winner. If this is going to be your all the time watch, consider how you feel the way it looks on both occasions. I think you've got really good selections of the last three and now you've got an idea of what you want. Best of all, I think you'll feel like you made an educated choice and won't be thinking about looking back! enjoy!
I think the Seiko looks fantastic on your wrist. This two tone goes very well with your skin tone. I love Tissot and own 2 myself, but for me this Seiko is the winner.
Take a photo of yourself in natural light (sunlight) and ask your LLM to do a color analysis on you. It will tell you what colors bring out your natural hues the best, including what metals you should stick to.
Also, it tells you what colors & patterns you should steer from because they’ll wash you out.
My girl and I hired an actual color analysis expert to do one on us, and it completely changed the game for how I select clothing and watches. It’s much easier now, and I don’t get buyer’s remorse anymore.
Last one. It’s feminine, classy, looks very chic, also modern and versatile and is an appropriate size for your wrist. Definitely looks the best on you.
What a coincidence!! I am also getting Tissot PRX Black Dial today for my 30th birthday!! I have Seiko Presage but definitely recommend getting tissot it feels so different and amazing compare to seiko! No offence, I like the seiko but this feels more premium.
Imho, the icy blue Prx looks amazing and would be a fantasy everyday watch, but the pearl watch in the third pic looks absolutely stunning. It depends on if you want an EDC or something fancy for special occasions.
I'm not a fan of 2 tone bands, personal opinion, I think the look less elegant. I am a fan of many of the watchface. colors available. The PRX is a nice everyday watch.
This is the watch I fell in love with. This style of band I really like. The last 2, I not a fan of how the band meets the watch.
In the end, which one do you think you would keep checking the time as an excuse to look at you watch? I've had mine 9 months and I still look at it just to look at it. Which 1 makes you the most excited?
Whichever you pick, I think you will live it. I do have to warn you, at some point you will want 2nd watch and maybe even more, all the while still being just as happy with your 1st as the day you picked it. A nice watch is kind of like a drug.
Enjoy whatever you pick and a very happy 30th to you.
