[Gift suggestion] Xmas gift for a 13 yr old boy? (alien.top)

Thinking what might be a good first mechanical watch for a 13 yr old boy?

He is into football (soccer)
He's part Asian
He's part German

The last two elements would be nice to consider but, not absolutely necessary

Thanks!

13y old me would be ecstatic to be gifted a GShock. If he's deserving I might even upgrade this to an Apple Watch SE if you have the budget.

Just note that mechanical watches might not yet be appreciated by this age group. Likely they will not perceive the value. If you insist on mechanical go safe with a Seiko 5 to test the waters.
