Oh yeah i agree every one is speaking from experience and trying to be helpful. I have previously suggested covering both bases just with the watch bias because people can change their minds particularly when friends and family will 100% be questioning the idea of watch first ring second. I mentioned my wife wanted a ring and only when watch shopping for me a couple of months before our wedding decided a she wanted a watch as well. I'd already gone over budget on the ring and this last minute request put me under a bit of pressure. My best man was in the running for a hyper chrome, hydro conquest or RW tango initially but ended up with a cheap moody looking emporio armani in the end because my wife had inadvertently just cleaned out his gift budget. I expect the OP will end up with both in the end either by specific request or just to make life easier and settle the friends and family down an approach i recommen i was just trying to re rail the thread back to watch chat as the OP will have plenty of friends and family to drive him mad with every other detail of the wedding. We've all been there and know how stressful the process is and are just trying to help based on our own mistakes and experiences.

I think most of the unsolicited advice was based on personal experiences and coming from a well meaning place. Speaking for my myself I've come across people saying they don't want a ring several times including when I was engaged to somebody many years ago but more often than not it has ended up being a bone of contention at a later date for various reasons.
Wrong of people to assume you guys haven't got this stuff nailed, but I think people were just urging caution in a well meaning way.
