Watches

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!
