this with a brown leather band is really nice.

To me, these watches are just as ugly as some of the watches in this thread....but these are on sale for 90% off. Invicta watches for $70

???? My iphone clock works everywhere, and as long as I shut down unused apps, my phone
battery will last a couple days at least.

I have an LG banter which is a pretty decent working low end phone and the battery lasts forever but if it doesn't get a signal it doesn't know what the time is ...no alarm

just got one of these ^^ not as big as that leaky old sunnto I had and made of all Titanium

I have a Suunto too. It may not be pretty but 1sec sample rate for depth, user set depth alarm
plug computer plug-in to see the days dive profiles make it a pretty good low end freedive
computer/watch. I've had if for 10 or so years now.

well yours is better than my Sunnto which is sitting in a drawer somewhere cuz I couldn't even quickly dunk my hand in a stream without water getting inside, it would even get wet inside on wet ski days, it was too big & looks not great IMO, hell even the original pathfinder I had 20yrs ago outperformed the Sunnto ...IME

Whereas the casio is not too big,,looks pretty good IMO, is only 175$ with a the rubber strap or 225$ in Ti, is solar powered so no battery issues or fuckups, sets the exact time itself by communicating with a satelite and it stays dry so IME ... casio pathfinder recommmended over a suunto

this is fun - digital analog ~$15k:

or one of these for ~1/4mil:

i don't quite get the justification of pricing on stuff like the pateks - ie, a basic mechanism like this for $685K. guess i'd rather maximize my rad tech for the buck.

on the sane end of the price scale (really, spending serious $$ on something as superfluous as a watch is just silly), i just picked this up. relatively cheap, burly (i tend to destroy gadgets), but fun:
