So mini-me wants a "Divers watch, nothing fancy, but fancy would be nice"
What's on offer at the budget end of the market? More importantly what is the right (or wrong) 'style' for a 13 year old who has just surprised us with this request....
Small Seiko would do the job. Most of the normal divers watches will be way too big for a 13yo wrist.
If you want something a bit different, I can wholly recommend a modified Seiko 5 such as the Fifty Fathoms mod (might still be a touch big but check them out at a shop).
I bought a £30 casio a few weeks ago as mine was waiting to be repaired.
Not as good as this one.

Technically 50m is not a divers watch. #pedanticgeek 🙂

Aren't big, oversized watches fashionable?
One or the seiko 5 divers would do the trick. [url= http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-automatic-sports-89/seiko-5-divers-automatic-23-jewels-snzf51-snzf51k1-snzf51k-mens-watch-1624.html ]Like this one...[/url]

Why don't you ask him? He must have got the idea from somewhere.
gobuchul... to an extent they are yes, and divers watches are designed to be big & bold for use when diving, but that's on an adult wrist so for a kid, they are likely to be too big.
You really can't go wrong with something like that Seiko 5 5thHefalump posted.
I'm sure there are some good Casios as well, I'll have a shufti, back in a tick... 😉
There's this one: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Analog-Watch-Black/dp/B009KYJAJY
I'm currently looking for a new watch and came across this Seiko Japanese automatic divers watch on Amazon. I know it's a bit dearer than 5thElfant suggestion but it is a Japanese version and not Korean.

What about getting a "ladies" watch. Smaller face.
This might be a plain for your lad but they are very "authentic".
