What time do you wear?

Help me out, people ! I am so stressed that I can't even listen to any records. Need a gift for a close relative. Can't decide, Omega or Breitling ? Both have an appeal. Consider Breitling Seewolf and Superocean models or Omega Planet Ocean and Aqua Terra. I know nothing about watches.
Aesthetics is important but reliability and performance are much more important, including waterproofness and shock resistance. Not for deep diving, mostly for everyday wear and occasional outdoors.
Would really appreciate your thoughts.

As far as desirability among watch aficionados and retained value I'd definitely go with Omega over Breitling, but both make fine watches.

I have a Breguet, a Breitling, a couple of Carier's, a Tagheur, a Fitbit, a Coach, a Lucien Piccard, and some others I forgot now.

I don't like glass back of Omega. Sapphire is very hard but not tough, one unfortunate drop on a hard surface and it might be a disaster.

To clarify. The person this gift is intended for is not at all a watch aficionado, but he appreciates fine things and he does need good watch for decades to come. Just one watch.
