I'm not a watch guy, but want something nice for him. He is 16 and is going to be the godfather for my daughter.

It's a handsome piece. Has a classic look to it. Can you link to its page. I don't know enough about Tissot to eyeball it (looking for size, movement, price, etc).

Is it for a graduation or something else significant, or are you just a kickass uncle with extra dough lying around. My dad never bought me a watch that nice.

ETA: Just saw that you stated the reason while I was responding.

Dear baw,

I got this years ago to kick around, and the pos band broke. Anybody know where I can get a replacement band for this nerd watch?

I think it's an appropriate gift and a very nice gesture.

Hmmmm, I would just go to a jeweler or find one on Amazon.

It's a great idea. A nice watch is one of the few things a teenage boy will generally take good care of. My dad gave me a nice Seiko and I've had it for 40 years. It still reminds me of him when I pull it out.

I think it goes well with the occasion. Being a Godfather is a big responsibility and giving a watch gives it a becoming a man kind of feel to it.

Tissot is a solid Swiss brand. Hopefully your nephew will appreciate it.

Looks nice.

Get it engraved on the back with a nice phrase, the date and signed Uncle MSTiger93

I think it's ugly.
Maybe my OCD in me just likes the name brand to be centered under the 12 o clock position.

I like it. I'm sure he will enjoy having a nice watch.

Dad got me this one and it's one of my favorite gifts I've ever received.

A creepy sentence, I would rephrase.

OP: That's a nice watch for a sixteen year-old. It will be a good test of how responsible and mature he is in how his ownership of it fares.

It's beautiful. Would look even better with a leather strap.
