i'm looking for a watch for my dad, for his 47th birthday. i want a good one, but i don't want to spend over $170 (because i'm poor), and i have no clue where to look. i know he likes the types that have a leather band, because metal ones irritate him, but that's really it. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

im not sure about pricing right now, sorry if they are expensive but some good watch brands that aren't those high end expensive ones like rolex are Bulova, Sieko, and Citzen is a good on and i believe there prices are managable.

I think Fossil watches are nice and they aren't real expensive.

seiko is a very good watch! mine still works after 20 years!

I'd go with a Swiss Army watch. All men seem to like them. Some of them have leather bands and some have material bands. I know my husband loves his. He has a Rolex and a Tag Heuler, both of which are in the thousand dollar range, but I find that he wears the Swiss Army one more than the others, except for fancy occassions. They keep great time and are very in style. You can find them all over the place

look for the ODM I have one and I love it! its so good trully
