Buying a watch for son

Do you know what he wants it to look like? For example dress watch, diver etc. I generally suggest avoiding the "fashion brands" such as Hugo Boss, Armani etc. If you want a watch for practicality in that price point go with Citizen. Their Eco-Drive range always seems to get great reviews. I don't own any particular model so can't recommend which to buy, but they are readily available at most watch shops.

Don't forget to use discount codes if you do buy from there - they always seem to have codes available. (edited)

I know you said leather strap but these with metal straps look good to me.

And these two I've found from the selection H Samuel sell, there are a few more to look at in your price range you need to use promo code HSMVC15 for 15% discount to get for £127.49 each

In case you didn't know: you can buy a watch with a metal bracelet and easily swap that out for a leather strap yourself.

Casio Edifice are also a good quartz bet and there are lots of variety of faces from simple to complicated


Their metal bracelets are usually fairly cheap and cheerful, which is an advantage to you as your money is being spent elsewhere in the construction, so a strap swap is a great hack. (edited)
