Hi guys. I'm looking to purchase my first ever watch and I have very little knowledge or understanding on watch etiquette, fashion, pricing, how to maintain and clean it, etc. I'll give a brief overview of what I want so hopefully you can help me out!

So I'm a female, I assume there are differences between male and female watches? Can a female wear a male watch, or is that a big no-no. What is the difference in styles or quality between the two? Are there unisex watches? Also, I'm in a wheelchair so I'd prefer not a super big chunky metal band as it could scrape against my rims as I move around or make clinking noises. But I don't know how I feel about leather bands, either? I prefer the look of metal bands, but like the "mesh" kind (I looked it up online so hopefully that's what it is). Color wise, I prefer gold or silver, but am open to black? I want something that is appropriate for casual daily life as well as a more professional setting like a wedding or interview. I know of Rolex watches but that's like the only brand I know of. I don't like the rectangle or square faces as much as regular circle faces, too.

I know it isn't a lot to go off of, but if you can help teach me or give me resources to use to learn more then I'd appreciate it!

You can start by looking at stores and trying them out, don't be afraid to ask around and try even if you have no intentions to buy one.
