My son commissions this month and I'm thinking of getting him a chronograph watch as a present. But are there band restrictions in terms of color? Thanks.
 
AFI 36-2903, para 6.3.1.3

"Must be conservative and only one can be worn around the wrist while in uniform, PTU, or civilian attire in an official capacity. Conservative examples (not all inclusive) are solid color black, brown, silver or gold. Prohibited examples are diamond covered, neon, bright colors, and bands that exceed 1-inch width"

Additional workcenter restrictions may exist for jewelry wear in general, but this depends on your son's AFSC and duty position.

Congrats!
 
I've seen plenty of people with them. As long as it isn't loud, ostentatious, or huge (>1" width), you'll be fine. I'd be shocked if anyone said anything to him as long as it isn't bedazzled or rainbow-striped.
