Were having our first kid in December and would love to buy a watch for him and then give it to him at 18. Budget would be 2-3$k. It could also be multiple watches. I have no preferences.

He would also be getting any watch I buy once Iโ€™m gone but if we have more than 1 kid they would split it. And hopefully Iโ€™m around a bit longer.

Thanks everyone!

Can definitely recommend these ones: https://www.seriouswatches.com/products/raymond-weil-freelancer-diver-2775-st1-20051

They should be in stock in many stores all around the world, the link is just for model reference.

I have been wearing them for the past year or so, zero complaints. They might be on a heavier side though as it's full metal build including the strap, keep in mind.

How they look:
