[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 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
