    I have a Citizen Eco which is pretty nice, and I also have an Oakley.

    depends on the budget, but for a nice everyday watch that's not too bad - Fossil

    Budget is a big factor. I personally have this watch, a Seiko Perpetual Calendar model.

    I got mine on a clearance sale for about $150. Are you looking for under $100? Under $500? Over $1,000? There are millions of choices out there, in all kinds of practical, and insane price points. :laugh:

    My husband has been lusting after a Tag Heuer for years. One day...one day. They are pricey but nice.

    Probably under 500.
    I would want like a dresser ( for occasion) watch, not an every day watch.

    For my husbands last watch I Spent $300 on a great citizen, it's got about 4 dials of different info and has a black silicon/plastic type sports watch band. Can go diving if he wanted to. still quite classy looking. His last citizen lasted 11 years, was a metal band and only died because a watch guy in the centre of the shop was supposed to replace the battery and seal it and broke it instead!

    Hubby now doesn't wear the citizen unless going out. He wears his Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor nearly all the time now! It's black and silver and quite nice as well and does the job of telling the time for him.

    Do you know if he likes metal bands or plastic? Some metal ones are heavier and my husband said it did used to pull hair occassionally, but looks a little fancier. Sports watches can look good still. Can you do it subtly like putting out the watch junk mail brochures and ask a preference?

    You can always buy one, if he likes it, get it engraved etc, something special, if not he can change it with the receipt still.

    Cheers, either way, blokes are usually fuss free and couldn't be bothered picking, just the type of watch band - metal or plastic/rubber, analogue or digital or a mix of both? Can ask his parents/family what he used to wear too, to be sneaky!
    cheers.

    I prefer the simple easy to read timepiece. My favorite was a $40 Timex which was very bland with a plain, black strap. I understand that the fancier, more expensive watches may be desired, but I like it simple.
