Hi!

I’m looking to buy a watch for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift, as the title says. It will be his first watch and I know absolutely nothing about watches!

I would like for it to be quality and last him a long time. He prefers silver and likes those watches with silver/stainless steel straps? Not sure what’s it called, but not leather.

Watches I’ve considered are

  • SPB307J1 in black or white, this is probably the highest prices budget wise.
  • SSA447J1
  • SSA347J1, altho i dont think he’ll like blue?
  • SUR311P1
  • SSB337P1
  • RA-AK0307B10B
  • RA-AA0C01B19B

I think he would prefer watches that are at least 40mm, preferably around 42mm Pros and cons are appreciated!

    If you are in the US get him a citizen eco-drive you think he’d like from the officialwatchdeals store on ebay.

    There are some that come on a bracelet like this one. There’s also an extra 30% off coupon at the moment for it land some other models.

    Eco-drive watches are solar powered so as long as they get some daily light they’ll just work for many years. Just don’t hide it in a drawer in the dark when not wearing it for long time, leave it on a shelf in a well lit room where it can get some daylight.

      Not in the US but I’ve looked up citizen eco-drive and I do love the specs of it and they have quite a few nice designs! Thank you
