I want to buy one for a family member, but this is new territory for me.

Don't want anything for mega money, but at the same time don't want anything naff!

No to be frank (and Earnest too)!

I've said is it something to be worn once and that's all!

I'm told that will not be the case, but can't help but thinking it's a waist of money.

A good one will cost you an arm and a leg so give the idea the elbow.

People have enough junk in their drawers as it is.

These days, give them something they can eat or drink.

I suggest Barbar Bok.

bought a silver hunter pocket watch for my first serious long term girlfriend, she had said how much she liked them, I was a dirt poor student at the time and it cost me all I had, we ran away overseas, it lasted (the relationship, not the watch) maybe another 6 months and I never saw her or the watch again, I never regretted buying that watch, not for a minute.

Modernisation= wrist watch.

Or look at your mobile phone screen that's usually the correct time.

Pocket Watches are a very small part of my retail business Aunty, naff ones too .
Go for a Swiss movement if buying new .
Many dealers will offer engraving, this will only devalue your purchase .
I would look for an antique, with papers, most cherished watches will have paper history,
use the collectors forums for ideas .
Good luck, would be interested to know what (if) you buy .
