Imagine with me a hypothetical scenario. Say you’re the founder of an upstart men’s affordable style website… and one of your friends comes to you for suggestions on which watch to get her Boyfriend for Christmas.
Sounds plausible enough doesn’t it?
Here are the qualifications: He works outside a lot, so all of his watches are the durable, beat em’ up because you can, canvas strap kind. But he has mentioned he’d like a nice dress watch to wear when the two of them go out. He owns mainly black dress shoes and dark suits… and she’s leaning towards getting him a simple, classic, white-faced watch. Nothing too sporty though. He’s got enough of those for work.
Budget is around $100.
What would you suggest?
