Need a watch for mum's 60th

[blueberry2310]

My mum is about to turn sixty and I want to get her a watch as a gift. My budget is around £200/250.

She prefers silver to gold and probably would like something quite classic and feminine. I'm at a loss for nice brands and styles in that price bracket. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Get a Citizen Eco-Drive one that never needs batteries.

Lots of them on the H Samuel website. Might be worth checking Argos too

Was going to suggest a citizen Eco drive too - some really lovely styles and the not needing batteries and long warranty is really attractive too.

Goldsmiths stock them as well.

Make sure the face/numbers are big enough for her to see without her glasses, unless she is one of those people who wears glasses all the time.

I had to exchange a beautiful watch because I couldn't see it without fishing around for my reading glasses every time I wanted to know the time..

Have a look at Christopher Ward - really nice watches, really well made, but affordable - they get great reviews from 'watch nerds'. Have bought two for special occasion gifts and been really impressed.

Thanks so much. I'm not in the UK and she is so Id forgotten about those retailers. Great tip about the hands.
