Automatic wrist watches

A reader asks:

My boyfriend of 6 months and I were talking about Christmas gifts last night and how much we agree to spend on each other.He asked me what I thought our spending limit should be. We had planned to get each other new watches since we both have a thing for them, and Automatic wrist watches
and agreed to pick out our own. The thing is, and Automatic wrist watches
the watch I would love is about $400 and while I have no problem spending that much, and Automatic wrist watches
and perhaps a bit more on him, and Automatic wrist watches
