Your Most Reliable Cheap Watch

Hey all -

So, I got thinking: What was my most reliable cheap watch? Something that I spent less than $60, has been through it all and still works today?

I thought about it .... and then it hit me!

My Timex I purchased in 2001 during Basic Training with the good ol' US Army. I remember almost everyone I knew had this watch.

This also became the first time that I consistently began wearing a watch. I really only wore this for about 11 weeks, but it served me well. And it's memorable.

Sand, water, smashing it, whatever, this thing still held up. I also wore this a few times after basic; the watch surprisingly works well with some outfits (for all you fashion bugs out there)

Anyway, here it is. It's a Timex something.

I just noticed that it posted the military hours too. And all that time I was doing MATH in my head lol.

Please share your most reliable cheap watch! The rules are simple: Has to be around $60 bucks, still works (excluding battery). Dollar amount is only for WHAT YOU paid for the watch (i.e., watch retailed for $300 but you got it for $50, this would work)

If it has a story behind it, please share! If you lost the watch, but have a story, share!

Also, see if you can find a picture on the Internet and share. If not, no worries, share anyway!

PS - I saw a lot of people get artsy when taking pictures of their watch. I like it. In fact, I started trying it out myself. Not as good as the ones I saw, though :lol

I remember I used to wear Timex Ironmans when I was a Kid.. I didn't take care of it, went swimming, playing, hiking, etc and I don't remember once that they failed on me... I purchased 2 or 3 because I just lost them and purchased another! They were my source of timing as a teenager:)
