gifts for boyfriend's birthday - 450 usd budget

my boyfriend's 21 birthday is coming up and I'm looking for suggestions on what to give him. my budget is around $400 - $450 usd and he has a very specific set of interests and preferences that I want to consider when buying him his present. he can't put a lot of decorations in his room and doesn't have lots of spare time, so prints or posters and "experiences" types of gifts I'm trying to avoid

- he's a chemistry student and likes reading and learning in general. he likes puzzles and brain teasers and sciencey things.

- he likes music and films a lot, he likes buying headphones and he owns a cd player, he doesn't own a record player though.

- he likes star wars, halo, and batman mostly. he owns an xbox and he has basically every game available for all of these things. he's also into comics but I don't know which ones he owns :( .

- he's really into watches and magnets

- he likes well made things and prefers things made out of leather and metal. he isn't into luxury or brands or things like that, so I want to prioritize durability. (he's particularly into metal objects)

any suggestions appreciated!
