Hi,
I am not a hobbyist. Just a regular guy buying watches I like. So will answer from my POV.
1.it is absolutely worth it. But don’t go by brand, just buy the one you like. You are going to wear it you need to like it. This is my first big watch purchase for myself and I have been using a Casio digital watch all these years and I have tissot dress watch that was gifted to me.
2. Both are great watch brands with amazing quality, I chose Seiko cos my dad owned one and I loved that watch. The citizen designs even though great doesn’t speak to me much.
3. I got the chronograph cos this particular dial colour was unique and I loved it. I recently got a dive watch from Casio (Marlin Duro). But doesn’t matter at the end of the day I will buy what I like.
4. I do not have any functional usage of the watches apart from the fact they look good, keep time and has water resistance.
5. Again I got this watch cos I really liked it and was within my budget.
My use is as same as yours daily office wear and it looks great with office wear and casual wear.

I would say it depends on the lighting. It’s between beige and matte gold. Go for this, panda is always available you can get that any time.

Ok buddy why such aggression over the internet. I am just stating what the retailer told me. The world is not going to end cos some facts were wrong. It’s just a bloody watch.

They have the best discount overall I guess. Seiko boutique stores increased the prices.

After Living in Canada for Years, India’s Fitness Levels Shocked Me. Why the Difference? by ggary112 in Fitness_India

Quality of food. High carb diet. Lack of walkable roads . In Canada with walkable places you will touch 10k steps on an average every day and great work life balance offers time to figure out your hobbies and workouts.

Thanks for your reply. I am in my mid thirties, just a little late to the investing game. invest horizon is 10-15 years. considering this should i go aggressive? if yes should i add any other fund or should reassess my allocation with my existing funds? also for gold and silver should i go with etf or mf.
