[recommendation request] Watch recommendation for boyfriend (alien.top)

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 new to watches, make sure you understand the difference between a quartz watch and an automatic (mechanical). A good video talking about the strengths and weaknesses of each
