I got my FH tix to the Giants vs Dallas game as an engagement gift, but I know a lot of people who didn't get their FH anything. It's totally up to you.
As for watches, Movados are gorgeous but pricey!

I got my FH a diamond stud that he had wanted. But I'm sorry I do not know too much about watches. My sister did just buy her boyfriend a Bulova and he does have very good taste so maybe you could look into them.

FH proposed right before Chanukah (ring was my gift) so i gave him his gift too (which was a 12 string guitar)
does that count?

me too!
Whats your budget? Movado has several classy&sporty designs. Check out Tag Heuer (sporty), Raymond Weill (classic) or Rado (timeless designs). Movado is the cheaper in this lot. If you wanna spend more, check Omega, Cartier, Baume&Mercer...i could go on and on...

Re: did anybody get fh......
I didn't get him an engagement gift. I didn't know I was supposed to (oops lol). I felt bad though b/c we got engaged in November and money was tight for me ( my old gym STOLE a large amount of money from me the day before we got engaged and didn't give it back until a few days before Christmas) so I went a bit cheap on FH's christmas gift (compared to what I usually spend).
But I am trying to make up for it with a wedding gift (FH didn't know we were supposed to get each other wedding gifts ). I am taking bpics and making him an album and getting him a grooms cake and I want to get him something else, I'm just not sure what yet. I was thinking Yankee tickets but we have plans almost every weekend until after our HM. FH has been in a few bad accidents and also broke his leg last yr so he always has back/hip/leg pain- I was thinking of getting him a massage at a nice spa a day or 2 before the wedding. But we are planning on getting couples massages on our HM- plus I'm the one who has all the stress before the wedding- he just needs to rent a tux and show up! lol

I surprised him and sent him away with a bunch of his friends. He thought he wasn't going.

If you plan on spending 2500-3K, you can get a pretty nice Movado.
