[Discussion] Will you switch from an expensive brand to a cheaper brand? (alien.top)

The other day I posted to ask about what watch should I get for my Dad. I just found out that he is wearing Movado, which is much more expensive than what I could get for him. Do yall think if I gift him a Bulova/Citizen/Seiko it would be fine? Would someone wearing an expensive watch like an average brand?

I dont know anything about watches so pls dont get too harsh on me. I’m just want to buy a gift for my Dad

Not necessarily a cheap/expensive brand issue. More of a personal taste or interest/enthusiast issue.

I'm sure he would appreciate and value any watch you give him. He may wear it regularly because he appreciates it. Or he may wear it just to make you happy.

If he has a lot of watches then having whichever one you get him in the collection is not a bad thing. But he probably won't drop the other watches and just wear yours. He will probably wear it from time to time.

Watch enthusiasts can have very specific tastes, so I usually tell people it's best to have the recipient pick out the watch. Anyway, it's great that you are making such an effort to get him the gift. Good luck to you.
