Except for the top one, it looks like your friend is into sport style designs. I will also make the assumption he doesn't want to deal with the extra care needed for an automatic (e.g. servicing, resetting the day/date, etc). So I'd recommend this Citizen Eco-Drive. It's a bit out of his price range, but it has the dark non-contrasting face he seems to prefer. For something under $250, there is also this option, but it has indicators in contrasting colors to the watch face.
And here's citizen's iwc
at that price range probobly g-shocks
