What is a good men's watch to give to a 30 year old professional? (read on please..)?

I'm willing to spend up to or around $500 if I felt it was worth it. This is to give my fiance on our wedding day. He is a 30 year old professional. I'd like something classy, timeless, and with a metal band (steel, silver, white gold.) If you could recommend a specific watch or watch brand it would be a big help. I don't really know much about watches.. but I know he wants one.

(PS-Please only post if you're answering the question. Thanks!)

Answer:
I suggest that you go and have a chat with a good watch Repair Man and he will give you some tips about different brands of watches.
I have worn wrist watches for Seventy Years and I found that a good leather band is much more comfortable than a metal band. You should not look on a wrist watch as a piece of jewelry as the Gold etc. is wasted on a watch.
You should be looking for one that has a conservative look and keeps accurate time.
In my opinion a slim watch case is desirable.
I have had a watch with a solid gold case for many years - it was a gift. Ten years ago, I
purchased a Movado look alike, made by Peugeot, for $19.00 and it is the best watch I have ever had and everyone admires it.
So, bottom line is, you can get a very practical handsome watch for a lot less than $500.00 and
for the money you save you could buy him a Travel Alarm from Tiffany or Cartier or The Sharper Image!!
Tag Heuer, or Tissot
Fossil makes some excellent watches, very fashionable and reasonably priced.
Many brands you can order online
(Seiko,Tag Heuer, Tissot,Glycine,Gucci,Raymond Weil.)

My husband prefers a Seiko (Kinetic) Dive Watch because of the weight and styles available and because he never has to remove it when he goes swimming.
