Any suggestions for <$250 dress watch to go with a blue suit (this color, or therabouts) for my wedding? I imagine a blue dial would be nice, but I’m worried about having the watch be one or two shades off from the suit–I guess that’s a fashion faux paus?

I tend to like simpler/Bauhaus-adjacent styles (e.g. Nomos/Sternglas), but could also be playful in terms of dial face. For example, I loved the Asterisk National Park watches (I spend a lot of time outdoors) and would’ve pulled the trigger on one if they’d had a park I was more connected to. Another brand I like the look of is NordGreen, but they seem pretty pricy for quartz.

I’d prefer automatic, but I imagine that’s a pipe dream given my price range for my wedding?

Anyways, looking forward to hearing from y’all and seeing watches that you like! I’m also down to learn about/see watches you love even if they don’t fit into my price range. What did you wear for your wedding?

    Thanks for the info/feedback! Unfortunately my fiancee really dislikes metal bracelets (I don’t love them, but don’t mind them), so I don’t think I’d wear one, even putting formality aside (the wedding is a morning garden wedding, so I’m not too concerned about it being super formal anyways).

    Given your take on this watch with a leather bracelet, I think it’s time for me to hit up the drawing board again (which might’ve been necessary anyways, given that it’s out of stock most places). In any case, I really appreciate your suggestion–I immediately loved that watch, which is pretty amazing given its price range. You really know your watches!
