Help me find a promotion/birthday gift

DH will be getting promoted next week, and he's super stoked about it.  (He was up for a meritorious promotion in February or March, and another guy beat him by 1 point.  Then last month, he was 3 points shy of the cutting score.)  Plus, his birthday is next Friday.  

I'm just not sure what to get him.  The only thing he's mentioned wanting is a new watch.  So, does anyone have any suggestions?  I'd like to keep it around $100-150, unless its something really cool that I know he'd totally love.

Please help me out ladies!  Thanks!

  • He would love a sword, but I can't afford to put that much on my CC right now.

    This is the watch he wants.

    He doesn't want one he can wear to work? 

    ETA: Also, I'm SO psyched for him. I wish it was THIS Friday! 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    He does have a watch he can wear to work.  He wants this one so he can wear with his nicer uniforms. 

  • I got H a tungsten watch for our wedding (it matches his wedding band).  He loves it and wears it with his nicer uniforms.  It's got a sapphire crystal face, too, so it's basically indestructible.  I want to say I only spent about $100, but I honestly can't remember which brand.

  • So does he want a dress watch or a more sporty watch? For DH's bday (one month before he deployed) I got him a Suunto military watch. He wears it everyday in Iraq and when he was still stateside he wore it everyday with his ACUs. DH's brother is the expert on dressy watches so I'm not much help if that's what he wants!

    Don't get me wrong, I like the watch.  I'm just not sure if I should get the watch, or something cooler like the sword.  The more I think about the sword, the more I want to get it for him.
