Get one of these, smart looking watches.

Are you looking for an automatic, or is that your swmbo's request? I would just note that the automatic will be heavier and thicker as compared to a slim quartz, to the point that you may not wear it, especially if you are not a watch person committed to wearing it each day. I like my Seiko Monster but am always pleasantly surprised about how something like a Timex Weekender disappears on the wrist in comparison.
Howsabout a Hamilton Khaki. Fairly streamline and simple face. Not overwhelming in size. And a very nice automatic watch movement from a very respected watch maker. Here's mine, which will be a bit different than the one the seller has:

And here's a place selling one at a price well within your range: http://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-khaki--mens-watch-h69419363.html
btw, easy to swap out the band to a leather one if needed. And it looks like the same seller has the same watch with strap as mine for under $400.
You might also look at Tissots to see if one with an automatic move is available in your price range. Also a great brand.
If you never wear a watch (and a lot of younger guys these days don't), why would you put one on a wish list? I would think you would rather put things on a wish list you really want, rather than something to please a woman.
If you are determined to get a watch, I would suggest a Citizen Eco-Drive or other solar powered quartz watches. Very low maintenance and accurate.
Good luck.
Why do watches need to have a date window that shows more than one day? The original poster shows a watch and it is the 8th of some month . . . wow great to look down and see that the day after today is the 9th. . . .
Then again I do like the red second hand.
