I haven’t quite decided yet - life suddenly got VERY busy, so I was thinking maybe I’ll hold off until Valentine’s Day.

ETA - still looking, though, and appreciating suggestions.

Turns out he definitely doesn’t like metal bands, so that takes the one I was going to get him out of the running.

You can always get a [different watch band](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_0?rh=n%3A377110011%2Ck%3Awatch+band%2Cn%3A%21378516011%2Cn%3A379246011&bbn=378516011&keywords=watch+band&ie=UTF8&qid=1323826693&rnid=378516011) to replace the metal bracelet.

My boyfriend just recently bought a very nice looking Skagen that has a ceramic band. It’s very lightweight, too. He loves it. You might consider that.

If it was my suggestion of the Tissot Le Locle, that also comes with a leather band.
