Let's start with something that any child who watches Stranger Things will adore: a Casio vintage timepiece from the 1980s. They are now quite fashionable.

Not only are they quite stylish for all sexes, but President Obama was seen wearing one during his time at Harvard.

They offer a ton of functions, like a stopwatch, countdown timer, and numerous alarms, plus they have a cool backlight so you can use them in low light in the dark.

Oh, and did I mention that these timepieces are really inexpensive as well? They often cost less than a cheap supper for one at your neighborhood pasta joint!

No of your age, this watch will help you look the part since Diesel is all about fashion!

Yes, this watch has a useful date function in addition to telling the date. But what makes the watch stand out is the way it is designed. It's doubtful that many other people would possess a watch like this because to the steel cutout at 3 o'clock where the crown is located and the distinctive design around the hour markers.

Additionally, it is waterproof up to 100 feet, so you can get it wet, but I wouldn't recommend swimming in it. It is also more of a fashionable "going out" watch thanks to the leather band rather than a daily or sports watch.

The watch is delivered by Diesel in a sturdy-looking black button-down box, which you may use to store it or for a variety of other things.

Daniel Wellington, a relative newbie to the watch world, has garnered a lot of attention very rapidly. These watches are incredibly popular right now, and for good reason.

They are stylish watches of exceptional quality that anybody would be happy to wear and go with nearly everything. With a brown leather band, white dial, and stainless steel case, this watch in particular is simple to wear.

Other than the fact that it is 30m (99ft) water resistant and reasonably priced for such a gorgeous watch, there is nothing unusual to note here.

Seiko has been making fantastic watches for many years, and they undoubtedly have a wealth of knowledge about high-quality, accurate, and attractive timepieces. They were pioneers in automatic timepieces and diving watches back in the day, and they continue to produce some classics like the SKX line.

However, in this instance, we're referring to the Seiko 5 casual watch (pictured in blue, but also available in green and black), which is more informal and less costly. It still contains Seiko's premium components, such as a steel casing, hardlex crystal (scratch-resistant) glass, and an automatic (wind-free) movement that can store energy for up to 40 hours, despite the reduced price.

This watch is fantastic for daily use since it goes with nearly everything, can survive the weather, and keeps you informed of not just the time but also the day and date! I really adore it.

It would fit a younger boy or someone with a little wrist since it is also not as big (37mm) as some of the other watches in our review. Since most contemporary timepieces are typically at least 40mm in diameter.

Specifications

  • Automatic Seiko Caliber 7S26 mechanism (no winding)
  • Hardlex crystal that is scratch-resistant
  • Arabic hour markers and illuminated hands
  • Steel or canvas strap in the Nato style
  • 30 m (100 ft) of water resistance makes it appropriate for swimming
  • 37mm case size

5. SEIKO 5 Stainless Steel Automatic Watch (Steel Strap)

  • Automatic mechanical movement
  • Seiko 5
  • 3 hands (hour minute and second)
  • Day and date with black dial
  • Water-resistant to 30 M (99 feet)

The Seiko 5 above is related to this watch, however it has an all-steel design with a little different face.

It's an excellent first watch for a teen to appreciate quality, style, and a more formal appearance in a watch since it's straightforward but fashionable.

This watch is top-notch and reasonably priced thanks to Seiko quality and an automated movement (i.e., no battery).

Specifications

  • Automatic Seiko Caliber 7S26 mechanism (no winding)
  • Hardlex crystal that is scratch-resistant
  • Arabic hour markers and illuminated hands
  • Steel or canvas strap in the Nato style
  • 30 m (100 ft) of water resistance makes it appropriate for swimming

Are you familiar with Swiss Army knives? Victorinox is the manufacturer of such items originally, and they have more recently entered the watch market.

They have created a fantastic range of timepieces that are just as excellent as the expensive Swiss watches, but at a fraction of the cost, using their commitment to that legendary Swiss accuracy.

Every youngster will like their two timeless casual timepieces, the 249088 and 249090.

A date, 300 feet (100 meters) of waterproofing, and a comfortable and casual nylon strap are a some of the standout features. Perfect for those who don't want something overly formal.

  • Broken-proof mineral dial window
  • Nato-style canvas strap
  • 100 m (330 ft) of water resistance that is appropriate for swimming and snorkeling (not diving)

There is a sizable assortment of steel watches from Victorinox as well, and the Chrono Classic is among the most attractive ones I have seen. It will look well on virtually anybody with its diver-style appearance, elegant black bezel, and contemporary face.

It also features a mid-sized face at 41mm, so many teenagers who haven't yet developed the wrist size to fit the larger faced watches we see these days would find it suitable.

The features include a chronograph, 100m water resistance, and complete stainless steel construction, making them perfect for swimming or being around water. 

A Swiss watch truly can't be messed up!

Any young man, in my opinion, ought to own a vintage Casio watch at some time. I still have mine!

Everything is electronic and has several practical features, including an auto-repeat feature, an hourly time signal, and an auto calendar. This watch is for a man who like items that are merely utilitarian and a touch nerdy.

It's the same style of watch that I used to wear when I was a teenager, and one of my friends continues to wear one now. Many fashionistas think they are simply too dull, but for the right individual, they make a terrific purchase! 

In addition, they are shock resistant and 200m water resistant, making them almost unbreakable.

If your adolescent male hasn't asked for an Apple Watch yet, I'd venture a bet that it's high on his want list!

Who wouldn't want a watch that could do so much more than just tell the time? Imagine a watch that could link to your phone and do so much more than just tell the time.

Apple managed to cram every imaginable feature onto this little phone. It has a heart rate monitor, a compass, a workout app, a GPS, an altimeter, and more, so it also functions as a fitness tracker. 

The ideal present for a tech enthusiast or someone who wants to avoid always pulling out their phone!

Regarding smart watches, Samsung is a brand that should not be disregarded. When compared to Apple, they sometimes triumph. 

So, if you or your kid believe a smart watch would be a good idea, check out this model. There is almost nothing left missing since it is so jam-packed with features and technology: calls, alerts, GPS, barometer, heart rate, steps, and a ton of applications. In certain versions, calls may even be made without the need for a phone. Additionally, it has Samsung Pay, which at first may not seem all that fascinating until you find that you can use it to pay at slide-only terminals from the past (it mimics a credit card's magnetic strip! How awesome is that?

Additionally, you can quickly switch out the faces and insert any standard 22mm watch strap, even those made by brands other than Samsung.

In addition, it has military-grade protection against heat, dust, and water, and Gorilla Glass to shield the face. This watch is a beast, and you will have a difficult time taking it apart!

The only drawback I could see is that this watch is a little on the large side, both in terms of diameter (46mm as opposed to Apple's 38mm) and thickness.

Specifications

  • Sport Band and Aluminum Case
  • Heart rate monitor, step counter (gyro), altimeter, barometer, GPS, and Samsung Pay
  • Waterproof, dust-proof, and temperature-protective with military-grade performance (IP68 rating)
  • 2-3 days depending on battery (magnetic wire-free charger)
  • 46mm case size

You may be certain that this item can withstand getting wet since even my mother uses a pink one for her dragon boat racing. Although it's not intended for swimming, those women make a lot of splashes with their padels, I can assure you.
