The 6 Best Watch Gifts for Him Under $100

Short answer: the best watch gifts for him under $100 at Wrist Logic are the TOMI watch and pen gift set (from $16.92*), Shanghai 7120 hand-wound dress watch ($50.60*), BOBO BIRD wooden automatic ($52.49*), MILITREK sapphire military watch ($63.18*), NORTH EDGE MACH solar pilot watch ($71.40*) and BERNY T2596M titanium field watch ($96.40*). Each is a mens watch with a feature worth talking about.

How do you choose a watch as a gift?

Think about how he will wear it. A man who dresses up wants something slim and classic, a man who is outdoors wants water resistance and durability, and a man who likes gadgets wants something unusual. The six watches below cover each of those, so there is one for almost every type of man and every budget under $100.

1. TOMI watch and pen gift set: ready to give

The TOMI gift set is from $16.92* and pairs a sun and moon dial quartz watch with a matching pen, boxed for gifting. It is the easiest gift here for a colleague, a stocking filler or a birthday where you want to give a boxed present without spending much.

2. Shanghai 7120: a hand-wound classic

The Shanghai 7120 costs $50.60* and is a 36mm retro dress watch with a 19-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement, supplied boxed. It is a good gift for someone who likes the idea of a watch with a story, because the 7120 comes from a long line of Chinese dress watches.

3. BOBO BIRD wooden skeleton: the conversation piece

The BOBO BIRD wooden watch is $52.49* and has a genuine wood case and strap, a skeleton dial and an automatic movement, with a gift box included. It is the gift for the man who already owns a normal watch.

4. MILITREK: sapphire and 100m for under $65

The MILITREK is from $63.18* and is a military-style quartz watch with a sapphire crystal, C3 luminous markers, a leather strap and 100m water resistance. It is a tough everyday watch and a good gift for someone who is outdoors.

5. NORTH EDGE MACH: never needs a battery change

The NORTH EDGE MACH is from $71.40* and is a solar-powered pilot watch with a 180-day power reserve, a leather strap and 50m water resistance. It charges from light, so there are no battery changes to think about.

6. BERNY T2596M: full titanium under $100

The BERNY T2596M is from $96.40* and is a full titanium field watch with a VH31 sweeping-seconds quartz movement, a sapphire crystal and 50m water resistance. It is very light on the wrist, which makes it a comfortable gift for all-day wear.

What are the limits?

Most of these are quartz, so they need a battery change every few years, and the hand-wound Shanghai 7120 needs winding most days. Water resistance runs from 50m to 100m, so these are fine for rain and handwashing but not for diving. Colours and straps vary, so check the product page before you order.
