1. A dress watch can be worn any time. It can always be dressed down.

2. The Longines can be worn any time.

3. I'd wear the Rolex with anything less than formal.

4. You mean chronograph, not chronometer. I'd wear these with anything less than formal.

5. The FXD is super casual. The others you could probably swing for business casual.

6. Anything missing is up to you and your own collecting goals.

I’d suggest that you not worry about size. Just get the functionality you need. It’s for the gym, not a wedding.

I don’t have any specific collecting goals beyond buying watches that I enjoy wearing and selling those that I no longer enjoy wearing. So many options at all price points.

It would probably be easiest to just buy a replacement. You could also open the case, identify the movement, find a replacement movement, and swap them.

The watch is defective, so it would be easiest to simply return it for a refund.

Ask him what he wants.

I’d want to be asked, so that way the person giving me the watch isn’t embarrassed when I get rid of it.

Sitting on a shelf is not going to hurt your watches. If I travel with watches, I just stuff them in a sock.

I learned long ago that size doesn’t matter nearly as much as some people think.

Those numbers are within specification. Don’t obsess over them, though, because the accuracy apps are kind of rubbish.

Any watch can be passed down. Price is irrelevant.

Search the sub. People ask for strap recommendations every day.
