Paragon lists the K3313G as a slipper with a footbed that the brand describes as orthopedic, with arch support. The brand suggests it for short all day indoor and local wear.
Fabric forms the upper, listed as nylon, and the outsole is rubberised and non slip, with the sole material given as EVA. Paragon also describes anti sweat and quick dry technology, and sizes run from 6 to 10.
Strap style is not stated on the product page, so the product images are the place to settle whether it is a thong or a slide before it is called a flip flop.
Casio describes the Enticer as a quartz watch with a stainless steel band and mineral glass. The case is 9.2 mm thick and weighs 105 g.
Accuracy is given as 20 seconds per month, and the battery life as approximately 3 years. The battery is listed as an SR626SW type.
Water resistance is stated as 50 m. The page also describes an ion plated case and bezel.
The strap is listed for wrists from 150 to 205 mm, so the father’s wrist can be measured at home and set against that range.
Clarks makes the Glement as a lace up with a square toe, a fabric lining and foam in the topline for comfort. The upper is leather from a tannery rated by the Leather Working Group.
Sizes 6 to 11 are listed. The page gives no description of the footbed or the sole, and a father who wants extra cushioning may add an insole of his own.
The colour is listed as tan, although one line of the page text mentions black leather, so the product photographs are the better guide to colour. Weight is listed as 1500 with no unit, which leaves the weight of the shoe unclear from the listing.
Both footwear picks start at the same listed size, and the Paragon range ends one size below the Clarks range. A father whose size falls above the top of a range is outside that pick.
Sizing and caring for leather shoes
A giver who cannot ask the father to try shoes on has to rely on measurements. Clarks says shoe length is taken from the heel to the tip of the longest toe on a traced outline of the foot, and width is taken across the widest part, usually at the ball of the foot.
The brand sets width letters for men’s shoes, with G for medium, H for wide and XW for extra wide. It advises trying shoes on in the afternoon or evening, when feet are fullest, and wearing the socks that will normally go with the shoe. The fit guide is published on the Clarks US site, and the Glement listing used here is on the Clarks India site.
Clarks also advises measuring both feet and sizing to the larger one, and measuring adult feet about once a year. A traced outline made at home gives the length and the width in one step.
Leather needs some upkeep once the shoes are in use, and a men’s leather shoe care guide on the Oswin Hyde site sets out a routine. It says the shoes are wiped with a brush and a damp cloth after each wear, and that saddle soap or a leather cleaner is kept for heavy dirt or salt.
A conditioning cream goes on every few weeks. The guide describes working it in, leaving it for about ten minutes and then buffing.
The routine is written for leather shoes in general, and the Clarks Glement is the leather pair among the picks here.
Wet shoes dry at room temperature, away from radiator or hairdryer heat. For storage, the guide describes dust bags kept away from sunlight and damp, with cedar shoe trees placed in after each wear to hold the shape.
What the watch ratings mean
A water resistance figure on a watch is a test classification carried out under defined conditions, according to a Gulf News article on the subject. The maker decides which activities the watch is approved for, so the figure is not a personal depth limit.
Gulf News also treats 100 m or 10 bar as a sensible margin for regular swimming, and says scuba diving needs a watch made for it. Both Casio figures are lower than that margin.
The Casio Enticer page lists a 5 bar rating alongside its metre rating, and the rating describes a test and not permission for any one activity.
Another maker words the same limit directly. Titan’s page for the Karishma, a quartz watch with a golden stainless steel strap, states a 5 ATM rating and describes it as suitable for light splashes and rain, and not for swimming or diving.
The Karishma lists a movement warranty of 24 months and a battery warranty of 12 months, both counted from the date of purchase. The Casio page links a general warranty page and does not give the terms.
At 7.65 mm thick, the Karishma case is thinner than the Casio case.
Sunglasses with the fit stated in millimetres
Ray Ban India publishes the frame measurements on each product page, which allows a giver to compare them with a pair the father already wears. The numbers can be checked at home against a frame he owns.
The Lifestyle 0RB3703M comes in an Arista frame with brown mirror lenses. The lens is polycarbonate and polarised, according to the page.
Lens width is 51 mm and lens height is 45.8 mm.
A bridge of 21 mm and a temple of 145 mm are listed, and the page does not say who the frame is designed for. It suits a father who already wears sunglasses and whose frame size can be matched to his current pair.
The RB4264 Chromance has a nylon frame and polycarbonate polarised lenses. Its bridge is 18 mm and its lens height is 46.5 mm.
Lens width appears on that page in two slightly different forms, so the bridge and temple numbers are the safer ones to compare. The temple length matches that of the 0RB3703M.
This frame suits a father who wants a light nylon frame that needs no setup beyond wearing it. A pair of sunglasses needs no charging.
Eyebuydirect describes lens width as the horizontal width of one lens at its widest point, with a typical range of 40 mm to 60 mm.
Bridge width is the gap between the two lenses, typically 14 mm to 24 mm.
Temple length runs from the hinge to the tip, typically 120 mm to 150 mm.
Most sunglasses print three size numbers inside the temple arm. The order is lens width first, then bridge, then temple length, so a giver can read them off a pair the recipient already owns.
The 0RB3703M and RB4264 pages give all three of those numbers, so each can be compared directly with the printed set.
Revo says sunglasses that slide down the nose or pinch the temples may not be the right size.
Each of the Ray Ban frames in this guide falls inside those typical ranges for lens width, bridge and temple length.
A third Ray Ban listing, the RB4320 Chromance, shows the same kind of small difference, with lens width given as 58 mm in its size section and 57.7 mm in its lens information.
That page gives a bridge of 16 mm and a temple of 140 mm.
A standards database entry for ISO 12312-1 says the standard covers zero power sunglasses and clip ons for general use, meant to protect against sunlight. It excludes ski goggles, prescribed sunglasses and occupational eye protection.
Return terms and warranty for each gift
Among the five picks, only the Ray Ban pages state anything about returns. The wording is “easy return and replacement”, with a link to the Returns / Refund Policy page, and the exact number of days sits on that policy page rather than on the product listing.
Ray Ban India lists a 2 Year Warranty on its product pages and links a standard warranty page for the terms. The Casio, Clarks and Paragon pages used here do not state return terms.
For footwear, the printed size range and the giver’s knowledge of the father’s current size are the main checks. For the watch, the case dimensions can be set against a watch he already wears.
