with light sand band and maybe swapping it out for other bands - don't see why not - not particularly usual and not my taste, but not unusual for guys to have gold bezel watches - but more usually with a black body.
With the cream heathered nylon band - no way - don't go there - though you could always swap out the band.
I had the same contemplation and decided against the golden bezel for a male. In addition, a golden bezel looks rather cheap, I think. Finally, the watch is a instrument for me, not a fashion accessory.
Also, at least in Germany, the golden version only comes in 42mm. The weak battery and smallish screen put me off.
Ultimately I decided for the 47mm white version with sapphire glass and titanium bezel and caseback. I am happy with my choice.
Black was no option for me, because the bezel tends to get small dings or scratches and then the black coating is gone.
