I was visiting my parents’ over the weekend and my Mom’s watch battery died. She has been looking for a wind up watch, which, are quite rare in stores now. A good alternative is a Seiko 5. Luckily, Seiko has a nice selection of automatic watches for women, starting at about $80. They do cost more than a quartz, but you don’t have to worry about a battery and they should last at least 20 years. They also have the day/date feature, just like the men’s.
Here are a few examples:
SYME46K1
Nice, clean looking watch. I like the bracelet on this one.
SYMC18k-2
I like the waffle face on this one.
If gold is not your thing, there is always steel and midnight blue:
SYMD93k1 is this one. Wide hands and markers. Looks like a TAG Heuer without selling your first born.
Overall, I am pretty impressed with the Seiko 5 ladies line. It is good to know more than men can collect automatic watches at a reasonable price. They have all the same features, Automatic, Water Resistant, Day, Date, and Shock Proof. They all also seem to have luminous hands and markers as well.
