DH ignores my list and buys me a cheap watch

I specifically told DH what I wanted. It was my birthday 2 days ago, he bought me a cheap watch that I hate. I’m not a watch person.

He saw the disappointment, but ignores it. Yet, he didn’t bother getting me something that I really want at 1/2 the price.

I just don’t get it. Why would anyone do this?

He NEVER bought me anything expensive ever! Money isn’t a problem.

I would just tell him that watches aren't your "thing" and ask him for the receipt so you can return it/swap it.

Giving someone "a list" of what you want is a bit tacky tho, so perhaps he wasn't impressed by that. It all sounds very transactional, especially for a couple.

I agree. Politely tell him that it isn't your style and ask for the receipt so you can get a refund.

You're going to have to ask him. It's the only way or it will happen again and again. What's the point of him asking what you want only to ignore it?

Let me put it this way, High end watch in a low end cheap brand. Would you not choose an entry level watch in an expensive brand!!?
