I got a G-Shock GW-7900B, I like it because its water proof to 20Bar My SCUBA instructor explained watches waterproof ratings to me. Water resistance ratings: 10m-good for rain 30m-washing hands 50m-snorkling/swimming 100m-minimum for scuba, good to around probably 60+ feet 200m good for deep diving (non-decompression dives) This shows the flaws in the watch industry.

Plus, for a $5000 watch I can get a lot of more important gear :-) Dont get me wrong I like the pricey ones too, as long as it fuctions, but for edc the durable timex, and gshocks are durable and comfortable

Casio and Timex make watches for each other. Lower end tend to be made by Timex, higher end Casio. Talk to your local Watch repair shop, they'll be able to tell you which model is made by whom. So if you ever wondered why both brands have so many similar watches, now you know.

Have worn this watch for years now. Almost every day since 2008. Had to buy one replacement due to my brother losing it in the woods once. Super inexpensive, accurate, tons of features and not too big or heavy. Love it. Only issue I've ever had with it is it will fog up after a couple dives below 100' (starting at sea level). This happened with both watches. Now I just dive without it. But for a mostly-dry watch that you don't care if it gets wet once in a while, this is it!

I saw my watch in the beginning, I've gotta give recommendation for it... The Casio G-Shock Touch Solar, mine is GW-M5600. It is solar charged, and atomic clocked from your local time zone. I have had it for three years and the battery still reads H for high, once it was M for medium and I left it sitting in the sun for a day, never been less than H since. I have changed the band for 11$ once and the bezel can be replaced, looks like a new watch again. mine was 80$. totally worth it!

Nike actually makes some nice, low profile, streamline watches. They are mid-range priced I would say, running around $100 US, give or take. Nice durable construction and a decent amount of functionality. I had one about 5 years back and loved it then and I'm sure they have even more functions by now (as companies are wont to do). They have a wide range of colors also.

I have a gripe with the Ironman and the Expedition now (or maybe it was a women's Ironman) because a little after I replaced the battery, the Expedition stopped working. And when I replaced the smaller one's battery, I took the timey-part out of the case and couldn't get it to fit back in right. So that's why I bought a Casio this time around...and why I got a solar one. (Also, I think that it's insanely cool that a quarter of a square inch of solar panel can power a watch....)

She hasn't managed to wreck this one yet.

They were submerged often and even after changing the battery, they do reseal at least for my light underwater use. Thanks for the real world reviews.

I've had a few Timex watches over the years & the pins connecting the wrist strap to the watch itself have failed on every one of them. Have spent more time carrying broken-strap Timex Ironmans in my pocket than wearing them on my wrist. As Nutn's lead-in says, "What does your watch say about you?" For me, having given Timex a fair shake over the course of a couple decades, I've relegated them to the "Hall of Lame" & am not too interested in seeing if I can break another wrist strap.
