My nephew is graduating soon and the family is chipping in to get him a watch. Limit is 2-2.5K USD He has small wrists, so it has to be under 41mm. He is not a watch guy, but I know he likes the styling of Breitling and thinks that Omega and Rolex are for "old people" No he is not my favorite nephew  Any suggestions are welcome, has to be a brand name he would know. |

Young man, your price range, well-known brand: TAG Heuer. Maybe one of the motorsports-themed watches from Tissot. Peace Mike |

I'd say a quartz is a good choice for a non-watch guy. Perhaps a Colt Chrono? |

Get him a Chrono Colt superquartz. He'll appreciate the benefits of SQ accuracy, and it's a great looking model. I was also going to suggest an Omega Aqua Terra 39mm, since that is an extremely versatile watch, but it sounds like he wouldn't quite go for that. ///M |

Chrono/non Chrono Colt superquartz sounds like a real winner to me.

Seeing as how he is not a watch guy, don't spend much, as when he needs money for something, the watch will probably be the first thing to be liquidated! As others have said, a Colt quartz may be the answer |
