Went with the black! Thanks fashion fam

They’re both beautiful, and it depends on your personal style. I prefer the left as it looks more classic

Blue is almost always considered more informal, but the face/style of the black one in the pictures is an informal style. I’d go black which gives you the most flexibility but for work and leisure - then something dressy but less expensive like the higher end Seiko for dressy evening.

Now that I’m older my perspective has changed. I buy nice looking classic simple designs that are not expensive but look great. No knock-offs but just nice looking. Last was a Timex for casual work/home that just fits my style well.

Nothing against high end watches. If I were going to spend a lot, however, I’d look at some vintage ones.

Both gorgeous but I like the black.

Are these new or pre-owned?

Right will get more use, blue will take a lot more matching.

I don't wear navy often, I like wearing pops of color and the navy face limits your range. Black one goes with nearly everything I pair it with. For me, navy would not get as much use.

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
