1 year agoYou can get some great deals on used watches that would normally be closer 2000. I’d look for a used Sinn 104 or 556, or maybe a oris aquis or big crown. There’s plenty of other good choices but I’d definitely look on the used market especially on watchexchange.
I would get a decent Seiko or even an orient Bambino for the office and pick up a Garmin instinct, or Suunto Core for when he’s outside of his 9-5. You could easily come up with a combo of two watches for 500 or a little more that would be way better than one watch that really doesn’t do any of those things great. Check r/watchexchange for some deals on used watches. I would advise against trying to get all those features in a nicer watch. He’s not going to need a barometer or compass at his desk, and he’s not going to need a dressy watch that he’s worried about messing up while he’s doing more rugged activities.
