Any recommendations for a $100-150 ladies mechanical watch?

I have been tasked by my better half to find a gift watch with said parameters for a female relative (teenager). I know this is a dangerous task to undertake, especially since the relative is not on my side of the family and neither do I know anything about latest fashion trends. So, can I lean on you folks for a few (nice) suggestions that I can take to high command for approval?

First question: size?

$100- $150 mechanical is a tough ask.

I bought my niece a Seiko for her 21st (bit more though)

I think some flavor of Seiko 5 or a Timex Marlin handwind.

I don't think you can go wrong with a classic Casio. If more adventurous, pick a fun Swatch.

Orient makes some decent low cost mechanical watches and they do have some smaller size options
