I have a $200CDN Casio that is very nice.
A watch is a watch. You can get $100 Timex that does everything a person wants from a digital watch.

You can get $100 Timex

I bought my Timex Ironman almost 30 years ago for about $29. I've replaced the battery numerous times as well as the band but it still works like new.

I have a $29 Timex. Works for me.

I don’t like digital watches. I buy the cheapest analog Casio or Timex I can find every few years when the old one dies. Usually costs under $20.

The <$100 US Timex works fine. The problem is the back of the watch turned my wrist green. I changed over to a Seiko with Twist-O-Flex band in 2014 for $80US, and still have it. I just have to replace the band every couple of years. I haven't even had to replace the battery (partly solar).

Can it do Apple Pay? Track my exercise?

I have a fake Rolex he can have. I picked up for $14 in Chang Mai Thailand about 30 years ago, and it still works. Just needs a fresh battery and a cleaning. However, i can’t guarantee it will get him into Heaven.

I purchased a Casio G-Shock atomic watch in 2001. It runs on ambient light and resets each evening from WWVB. It's still running, but was looking a bit shabby with worn off paint. It was $89 in 2001 at the Fred Meyer jewelry counter. I purchased a newer version last Summer that supports WWVB and other broadcast atomic clock setting services. Kohl's had it online for $98. Same nice stainless steel band as the 2001 model. It's my daily wear. The old one still works fine. It does what I need. Sub-second accuracy. Low maintenance.

Last year, I purchased a Samsung Watch 3 with the 4g LTE phone inside. $349 from Amazon. Nicely paired with my Samsung Android phone. Beautiful watch. One problem. The sensor uses some laser LEDs to measure pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation. It generated a 2nd degree burn on my arm. Apparently, the same happened to many other watch owners. Before I could resolve the issue with Samsung, they came out with Watch 4. The problem is inherent to the sensor system. Not fixable. The watch requires charging daily. I keep it for "dress" wear. Fancy "jewelry" to wear with fancy clothing for special occasions. Incidents of special occasions are exceedingly rare. The watch excels at dust collection.
