Garmin Venu 1, 2, or even one of the newer Vivoactives would be great. You can get a Venu 2 for probably about $100-$130 on Facebook Marketplace right now. You can also get one of the older Garmin Forerunners for about the same price as well, if not a little cheaper
if he is working a lot in the rain, get him something with more than 2 buttons so he would be able to use the watch using only the buttons (without the touchsreen) if he needs to, something like a forerunner, or instinct (doesnt have a touch screen) or a fenix (but a fenix is one of the more expensive ones)
I have a Fenix 7 Solar because I bought a 6 Pro Solar really cheap when they were discontinued but it broke and Garmin sent me a 7 as a replacement under warranty.
However the Fenix models are generally more than I feel I’d want to pay unless they are end of line so if I needed another I’d get a Forerunner that has the functions I actually use (Fenix, for example, has gold stuff. I will never play golf)

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
