If you want to give a man a present for under €70, a quartz watch or a piece of stainless steel jewellery is a safe choice: it is something he will wear every day, and it does not depend on clothing sizes or very particular tastes. At King Watch, men's jewellery starts at €27.95 and several men's watches sit between €39.95 and €69.95. Under €50, a bracelet or a leather-strap watch is plenty; above that, the duo offer lets you combine the two.
How to choose a gift for a man without getting it wrong
Three questions are enough to get it right: what is his style, what does he already wear on his wrist, and how much do you want to spend?
- Classic: round or square dial, metal or dark leather strap, fine-link jewellery.
- Sporty: chunkier case, silicone strap, relaxed look.
- Bold: square shape, strong colour, details that get noticed without overdoing it.
Under €35: men's jewellery for everyday wear
The men's steel bangle and curb chain bracelet costs €27.95 to €36.95, depending on whether you choose a single piece or a duo (bangle and curb chain, or two matching bangles). The open bangle, 4 mm wide, slips on from the side of the wrist and adjusts: it is the simplest option when you do not know his wrist size. The curb chain, a fine 3 mm link, sits alongside it for a more layered wrist, especially next to a watch.
Both pieces are made of stainless steel, in a gold-tone or silver-tone finish. Stainless steel does not tarnish, so the piece keeps its look month after month. For the gold-tone finish, you should keep it away from perfume, chlorine and seawater.
€35 to €50: a watch with real character
Bold style: the square watch with a blue leather strap
At €39.95, the men's square watch with a blue leather strap pairs a 35 mm square case with rounded corners, in an anthracite grey finish, with a two-tone grey and black dial that brings out large Arabic numerals. The matt blue leather strap, 20 mm wide, fastens with a pin buckle. At 29 g, it is easy to forget on the wrist. It is an understated watch that still gets noticed. It is not water-resistant: take it off before showering, swimming or going in the sea.
Sporty style: the skeleton tonneau watch
The skeleton tonneau watch, at €44.95, is all about presence: a black tonneau-shaped case measuring 45 x 42 mm, 16 mm thick, and an openwork dial that reveals a raised structure beneath the glass. Its 24 mm silicone strap comes in five colours. It withstands splashes, but should be removed for washing hands, showering or swimming. At 64 g and with its large case, it is mainly suited to broader wrists.
€50 to €70: the classic watch or the complete gift set
Classic style: the metal bracelet watch
The men's quartz watch with a metal bracelet costs €54.95, so it qualifies for free delivery in France on its own. Its 40 mm dial stays legible in all conditions, the case is 8 mm thick and the alloy bracelet closes with a deployant clasp. It withstands splashes, but is not made for the shower, the pool or diving.
All-in-one gift: the watch, chain and ring set
At €69.95, the black watch gift set with chain and ring brings together a black watch with Roman numerals and a round case 7 mm thick, alongside a chain and a ring in the same spirit. Its 25 to 29 mm dial is discreet, so it suits a slim wrist well. Worth knowing: the two side pushers and the date window are decorative; only the time is functional. The watch is not water-resistant.

The combined gift: a watch and a piece of jewellery with the duo offer
When a piece of jewellery is bought with a watch, it automatically gets 15% off. For example, the square watch with the blue leather strap (€39.95) and a single bangle (€27.95, or about €23.76 after the discount) come to about €63.71. That gives you a complete set for under €70, and since the basket is over €49, delivery in France is free.
Giving a gift without knowing his size
Size is often what makes people hesitate. A few pointers help you avoid the problem:
- Go for adjustable: the open bangle adapts to the wrist, with no measuring needed.
- Watches: for a wrist under 15 cm, aim for a 26 to 34 mm dial; from 15 to 17 cm, 34 to 40 mm; above 17 cm, 40 to 45 mm.
- Bracelets: add 1.5 cm to the wrist measurement for a snug fit, 2 cm for a comfortable fit, 2.5 cm for a loose fit. A watch or bracelet he already wears is a good guide.
- Returns: you have 14 days to return an item, and the legal guarantee of conformity covers 2 years.
Keep the timing in mind too: orders are prepared within 1 to 2 working days, then delivered in 10 to 20 working days in France and the European Union. For a birthday or a celebration, order early. Finally, several watches are delivered without a box, so plan some gift wrapping if you want to hand it over directly. To compare more models, browse the men's watches collection.
