SEIKO SNK803/05/07/09 and SNKM95

Price: $40-$65

Movement: Automatic, 7S26

Style: Casual, Military/Field

Size: 37mm not including the crown

Link: Amazon

Description: This is a fantastic automatic that can be had for as little as $40 if you catch it on sale. It's on the small side at 37mm diameter, 11mm thickness, and comes with an 18mm canvas strap that matches the dial color. It has a hardlex crystal, display case back, day/date complication, luminous hands and hour markers, 30m water resistance and a blasted steel finish.

Hurry only 2 left in stock.

my vote goes for the solar version

So you're the reason the SNK809 is $103 on Amazon and I had to buy mine from some sketchy website...

This one is also on sale and a lot smaller for people who don’t like big watches. Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch with Day/Date display, BM8180-03E https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EQS1JW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zsulDb8Q8CMWK

Citizen Eco Drive BM8180-03E Quartz, so it's accurate and robust. Solar powered, so it's maintenance free. A 37mm case size to fit a younger wrist. 100 meters water resistant, so it's safe for pool, beach or shower. A good tough no-nonsense, yet still good looking watch, perfect for a 15 year old

You could go with the ever fashionable Casio Calculator Watch. Not sure if you wanted something with more functionality, but it should be able to do the conversions for you.

It's the gay illuminati injecting their homosexuality into our think sponges! But you can stop it with this stylish hat.

Casio G-Shock DW5600E-1V

Price: $40-$45 ($69.95 MSRP)

Movement: quartz, digital

Style: sports

Size: 48.9 x 42.8 x 13.4mm (specs from Casio's website)

Link: Casio's page, Amazon page

Description:

Basic quartz model (battery will probably last 2-3 years), 200m WR. One of the cheaper G-Shocks, which are the gold standard for watches that can take abuse and beatings.

I have a Casio DW5600-E. They're bullet proof.

Seiko SARB017 Alpinist

Price: $375-$400

Movement: 6R15 automatic, hand-winding, hacking

Style: Casual/outdoors

Size: 38mm

Link: Amazon Seiya

Similar models: SARB013 in cream and SARB015 in black.

Description: Another great Seiko in this price range, and a sub favourite. The green sunburst dial with gold markings is just stunning. The inner rotating compass bezel is more stylish than useful but, like the cathedral hands, just fits with the coherent overall theme - it's not called the Alpinist for nothing. 50 hour power reserve, great lume, 200m WR, sapphire crystal, and all the build quality and accuracy you expect from Seiko in this price range. Looks good on a bracelet but, to my mind, best on a brown leather strap. The latest in a line with a strong history as well - there are some really nice vintage Alpinist models out there.

Casio Duro MDV106

Price: ~$45-50

Movement: Japanese quartz ( no model found )

Style: Diver

Size: 44 mm (without crown)

Link: Amazon

Description: The price tag says beater watch, but the fit and finish do not. It looks way better than a watch at this price point should. I like the quiet of a mechanical, but this might the quietest analog quartz watch I have ever heard. The 120 click unidirectional bezel operates smoothly. The most noteworthy thing I dislike is the date window is small and the date seem too recessed and a bit hard to read. The big surprise was the hacking second hand, which is not a feature I expect on a watch under $150.

The Seiko SNK is an awesome automatic watch for under $100 and you don’t have to feel like you are wearing a lie.

Citizen Eco-Drive BM8180-03E quartz, 100m water resistant, and solar powered. A good simple rugged daily watch, that can keep up with a 13 year old boy, yet still be stylish when he's older. And at 37.5mm case size, it would not be huge on a young wrist, nor too small as he gets older.

EDIT; If he is bigger, here is a similar watch, the BM8478-01L. It's also a solar powered quartz, with 100m WR, but it is larger at, 42mm case size.

Is your friend a watch enthusiast? If not, he might be better off with a quartz watch. They are more accurate, less delicate and less overall hassle compared to an auto.

Citizen BM8180-03E Solar powered, so it doesn't require battery changes, and 100m water resistance, so it's safe for pool, beach or shower. If you don't like that particular model, Citizen and Seiko both make various solar powered models.

Wow... that's an amazing price at Target! I still see it at the normal $40 to $45 at Amazon ... but their pricing is very dynamic.

$25 would normally be a really good price for a used DW5600E-1V... I recommend the OP wait until January and make someone very happy then.

Something like a Seiko SNK809 would be a good fit as well if you'd prefer an automatic watch around that size (37mm)

Here's an Amazon link

> I'm thinking of the stories people tell about their dad's who wore their watches from the boardroom to cutting grass. I love Seiko's btw.

In that case, the choice is easy. The Seiko SARB017 "Alpinist" is my favourite watch of all time and is built for the 'gentleman adventurer'. It wears like a sporty dress watch and incredibly versatile due to its depth rating, diashock system and sapphire crystal.

HERE is the amazon link to said beauty.

You looking for an analog? Or a digital? Honestly, I think a nice cheap G Shock is the most utilitarian for a frugal wrist. You can set it to 24-hr time easily and it won't get wonky with seconds (if lives depend on it) something like this. That said, if you're looking for analog, Vostok makes some affordable GMTs. Vostok is a Russian watch company with an interesting history. If the crown wiggles on you, it's not a flaw but a feature to prevent stem damage. Read up on Vostok and see if it's something you might be interested in.

Still not entirely sure why everyone has such a love affair with the Alpinist, but buying it with a warranty is still (for the moment) an option.

https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-Japanese-Automatic-Stainless-Leather/dp/B000KG93BQ

This Sieko (in black) seems be a popular choice around here. Just checking their whole selection seems that Amazon has a very different choice of Popular Watches; mainly brands as Fossil, Nautica, Casio and Citizen.

Sorry if it isnt very useful! Maybe youll find something you will like.

Casio MDV-106, $45 on Amazon. Potentially the best dive watch under $50 in my opinion. If you can afford to shell out an extra $10, get a 22mm NATO strap to go with it.

I've got the same watch, it feels and looks really nice, especially considering the price. Right now I have a black and gray NATO style nylon strap on it, which I like better than the rubber one. I think it would look really nice with a steel bracelet though. If you look at the customer product images on the Amazon page there are several of it with different bands: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Analog-Watch-Black/dp/B009KYJAJY

I'm currently getting openwater certified right now but I bought a Casio MDV-106. It's water resistant to 200m and its a nice watch just to wear anyway and it's like $50 on amazon. I've only been on 3 not very long or deep dives but so far it has worked for me.

I’d suggest the Casio Duro, it has a more classic design then the G-shock but from my experience it’s just as durable. Plus it’s half the price, and it can dress up to be a more formal watch as well, where the G-shock is a little garish to do so.

I know you said less than $100... but this one I've had a couple years and it's fantastic. The solar means I don't have to change the battery and it's atomic so it updates the time automatically. I actually gave my Apple watch to my wife and started wearing this one again for the simplicity of not having to charge every single device I carry.

Currently its $44.23 on amazon. cant get any cheaper for this quality.

G shock GWM5610-1

I bought this after 2 other g shock watches that were way too high profile. Kept getting snagged on sleeves, backpack straps, etc. Lost one retired the other.

This one is low profile, looks old school, is solar, and adjusts time via atomic clock signal (not really necessary but kinda cool).

Love this model wear it every day. $95 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007RWZHXO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.wvGBb8VF07BJ

Just wanted to point out they’re selling new on amazon for $356 right now.

obligatory Seiko 5 comment. if you cant find a seiko 5 model you like there are near infinite modding options and parts to choose from, so if you see something with a case shape you like you can replace the dial, hands, bezel insert, crystal etc. I've done one Seiko 5 mod for my dad myself and am working on my own SKX007 mod right now. great watches for the money, you can find some on amazon for ~60ish USD.

here's the mod i did for my dad, had it for about a month and its already pretty banged up lol. this was the base watch, which was around 70ish USD with the bracelet when i bought it: https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK809-Automatic-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B002SSUQFG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535777815&sr=8-1&keywords=snk809

and this is the finished mod, inspired by the Tudor Black Bay 36, but way less painful to see get scratched up and whatnot. i polished the case and swapped the dial. Dial was about 40 USD: https://imgur.com/a/pLoNRSf

I am new to the watch & reddit game. Read posts on reddit and went out and got the Casio EF503D-1AV for $39.99 (Super deal somehow, thanks camelcamelcamel) + Croc strap $12.71 & the MDV106-1AV for $40.99 with the NATO strap for $5.95. Two watches and two straps for $99.64. I love them both. The straps are from Clockwork Synergy straps using a 15% coupon. Thanks for the help.

I got a 40.00 watch watch on Amazon and it's worked great. I've been on over 200 dives with it with no issues.

But if it's a dive computer your needing, that's different.

Personally, I don't think beginners should train with a computer. You need to know how to use tables and plan a dive without one. If you're only being taught to use a computer I would worry about what other essential aspects of diving aren't being taught in the class.

I was a dive master and scientific diver before I got a computer. A watch and wet notes/slate should be enough to get you started.

You should have a console with a depth gauge. There will be a red needle that moves with your depth gauge that stays at the maximum depth reached. Make sure to log your time in, time out, and maximum depth each dive. That's all you need to run your tables.

I found this watch after checking out Amazon this past week. I was looking for a durable diver watch but wasn't willing to break the bank just yet. The ability to wear this watch wherever I go and never having to take it off really sold me. I think this will satisfy my desire for now until I can save up some funds for a nicer automatic.

Here's the link to the watch.

I would love to hear/see what other brands you all have that offer affordable divers.

Selling a almost brand new (worn once), complete in box Seiko 5 SNK809 mechanical watch, asking $65. If you ever browse r/watches, chances are you know this watch. it is a very nice watch, good for a beginner enthusiast or a collector looking for a solid beater mechanical watch. Here's a link to it on amazon.

Some pop culture background on the wolf sweatshirt.... there was a phenomenon with Amazon reviews where people started writing really involved fake reviews for a sweatshirt illustration of wolves on it. Then prior to The OA, hipsters started wearing them....notably Thurston Moore from the influential art band Sonic Youth was seen photographed in a pretty similar one (but I'm sure there are more examples)...Urban Outfitters carried several versions for a while too.

Citizen BM8180-03E or for something a little dressier, a Citizen Corso. Both watches are solar powered and have 100m water resistance.

For your budget, you could afford both.

Citizen is another option. Solar power and very tough.

Maybe discontinued is too strong of a word. Whatever would be the appropriate term, the MDV-106 has now been replaced by the fishless MDV-107. Here, let Jody explain.

If you're like me and must have the classic 106, this is the link to where I got it from in the States.

I highly recommend the Casio DW-5600E G-Shock Classic. It's less than $45 on Amazon (US) and I've been wearing one for the last 24 years. My first one, purchased in 1997 lasted me 22 years before it finally had a problem that needed replacement. I replaced it with the exact same watch and it seems just as bulletproof.

The DW-5600E is simple and straight forward. It has everything I need and almost nothing I don't use. Time-date-day of the week on main screen, with alarm, countdown timer and stopwatch on subsequent screens. Backlight is simple and easy to use. Battery lasts for years.

Cheers!

This is really helpful!

I love that they give fun stuff - I think such a big purchase should come with some perks. I was looking forward to that experience when I first made the decision last year (pre-COVID).

I'm from LA but moved up north and haven't been back in a few months, but I was planning on calling the GS Store on Rodeo initially to order and have it shipped if I'm unable to visit in person - your comment further validated that.

He doesn't have any "fancy" watches yet. I bought him a Seiko Men's SNK809 Seiko 5 when we were first dating and he LOVES that thing. He wears it everyday. I know he prefers the leather strap, but I do like the option of giving him a bracelet (Snowflake) as well and giving the option to swap out for the black croc leather. This watch is more for everyday - but I'm sure he will baby the heck out of it and save it for more formal occasions and important business meetings.

G shock m5610 indestructible, solar powered and multi band 6 with automatic time correction, 24 hr stopwatch, 5 alarms, world time...it this isnt worth 91 bucks I dont know what Is and your crazy of you say otherwise.

Without any context of features, size, colors, here's what came to mind

​

#1 GWM5610-1 (mentioned above)

- Because I want this one

- Iconic and will fit in with your collection (if you so choose) literally forever

​

#2 GA2000

- Because I saw a post here today with a similar one, and it looked awesome

- It's not as popular, but has a great ana-digi look IMO

​

Of your 2 choices I'd go Casioak. If you are referencing the new GLides that's all over the sub right now, I think it looks wrong. Something about the case border and screen just feel....off, but that's my personal opinion.

Politely, the sub rules require photos.

Prices aren’t necessary; but, given that it’s Black Friday weekend and these two models are on for steep discounts on Amazon.ca, it’s hard to blind offer on these. The 035 doesn’t look like it’s available ATM; but, it’s been popping in and out of availability at $399.97 all weekend.

Highly recommend! I have a scar on my left arm from this watches simpler brother haha straight up filet-ed me in a motorcycle wreck. Watch was fine. My arm was not lol

I'll second the recommendation, been using it for a while and it's a great watch.

As for people being displeased with it, just took a quick look at Amazon page for DW5600E (there are a few different versions of 5600, but this is the first one Amazon returns and then one I am using myself) and it has average rating of 4.6 (1,760 votes) with 77% people rating it 5 and 14% voting it with 4 stars, so majority obviously likes it.

Ofcourse that doesn't mean it's for everyone, if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Citizen Eco Drive. You cant go wrong and they sell the B8081 on Amazon for around 115$. Its an amazing watch, classic and minimalist and you never have to worry about the movement or battery. I got mine a couple months ago and am still in love with it.

Edit : Here's the link --> https://www.amazon.com/Citizen-BM8180-03E-Eco-Drive-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B000EQS1JW

Nice, almost as good as The Mountain Three Wolf Shirt on Amazon. You should totally read the reviews, it will make your night.

Picked this piece up on Amazon at about the same time as my (other first) automatic, the Vostok Amphibia.

Really liking it so far. Picked up a pack of NATO 18s to share between them.

These things speak for themselves when it comes to value, really can't beat $55 for a nice dependable (by all accounts) auto. The movement says Malaysia, so I'm not sure if that is just where they make 21 jewels for the Seiko 5s now or if this is an even more budget version of the already affordable 5.

As a note, local amazon prices may be slightly lower than long island watches.

For example, the same Gshock is about 17 dollars cheaper

If the watch "ships from and sold by Amazon.com" (not just fulfilled, but actual Amazon stock) then returns are usually free and very easy. Print label, box it up, drop off at UPS.

So if your willing to put in a tiny bit of extra work, you can basically try on the watch and return if you don't like it.

The current stock I am looking at is sold by Amazon

Good start. My first watch was a Protrek 3000 (black) and then bought your cream dial Bambino along with an Orange Monster. At this point if you wanna fill that third cushion with a watch, I would recommend a G-Shock.

• It's far different from the other two in terms of style.
• It's a watch you don't need to be cautious of while wearing because of it's amazing durability. YouTube videos of torture tests will convince you that your G-Shock could possibly outlast all of your watches even if you beat it up.
• If you get one with Tough Solar + Multi-Band 6 atomic timekeeping, you'll have a watch that recharges itself and corrects itself to perfect time every few days. Then you REALLY will never have to worry about it.

The G-Shock GWM5610-1 with classic square look costs $95 on Amazon and the other colorful options are more expensive but really beautiful.

If you don't want a G-Shock, I would recommend you hold on to your money and just look and learn about watches. You might find that you'll gain interest in specific watch designs and your interest might come and go without you having to spend anything. When I first started this hobby, I got really into open heart watches. I came so close to buying one at one point. Eventually I got sick of looking at them and was glad I never got one. Don't buy on impulse. Buy a watch like you're buying a vacation package, not candy. Eventually you might end up spending as much as an overseas vacation on a single watch. Spend very wisely.

> Am I just looking on the wrong sites?

Yes. A black with positive display should be very easy to find.

Even on amazon.

Unless I'm mistaken, this exact one is on Amazon for 90 brand new.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007RWZHXO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1X7CzbW36EZP4

Even factoring in your extras, you've priced it a little high. You might want to change the price if you want offers.

I've got a Citizen EcoDrive amazon link that's been my workhorse beater for about a year now. There is a bit of wear on the mineral crystal but it's otherwise in good shape. I'd throw in a tan horse-leather strap as well as the stock one. Asking $80 + S&H. (no pictures currently am at work, but if you're interested I can send along).

Reference price: Amazon

How large are his wrists? Casio makes a quartz dive watch that's kind of sporty but it's 44mm in diameter so it might look big if he has smaller wrists. Another option would be the Timex Expedition Scout. The scout comes in a ton of different colors so if you look around on Amazon I'm sure you could find something that works. I hope this is helpful and good luck!

> All I want is a heavy duty automatic watch.

I know it's not the brand you mentioned, but this seems to be the classic, reliable, automatic watch in this price range from what I've heard. You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere, and I see even on Amazon the green/blue ones are cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SNK809-Automatic-Stainless-Canvas/dp/B002SSUQFG

How about DW5600? About $40 on Amazon...

Hi guys,

first of all thank you for your amazing guides and help.

I've set myself on buying an automatic watch and after reading the aforementioned guides I've chosen the Seiko 5. I will buy it from Amazon . Question time:

• Is this a Seiko 5? The model names are quite confusing and I can't understand if this one is actually one.
• Does this one have manual winding?
• How much is this WR? Can I go swim with it or is it just "you can wash your hands with it"?

Thanks!

Yup, i swam in it and showered and got it wet and beat up at work. It took a lot of abuse and never got water in it.

I also opened it several times to regulate it. It was wildly innacurate, losing about a minute a day. You can watch a YouTube video on how to regulate it, and buy a watch tool kit for like 8$ on Amazon. It actually just started to die on me a couple weeks ago. It no longer holds a power reserve. I will get it serviced.

Automatic watches are sweet from an engineering standpoint, have their own kind of soul, and I love the idea of wearing a mechanical device in this day and age.

But really, quartz are better for telling time in a "set it and forget it" way. I will probably get flamed for saying that. There are some really attractive solar power watches by Seiko and Citizen, and Casio for that matter I just bought a solar and atomic Casio 5600, which for $95 is a wicked value. This one by citizen was a tossup when i bought the Seiko 5, but was almost twice the price at the time and I was poor. It's the same size, gorgeous build quality, and solar powered:

Here is the one I bought, which was about 55$ when I got it. It comes in several different dial colors, and the straps are garbage:

Do some research, watch YouTube videos on "best watches under xxx dollars" order some watches to try on and return, and check out forums like watchuseek.

Good luck mate!

If you're in the US, G-Shock GWM5610, ~$94 from Amazon.

Just keep in mind that atomic watches only work in certain parts of the world. At best, it's the continental US, most of Europe, Japan, and maybe China. Parts of Australia can sometimes get the signal from Japan, but that can be iffy.

It's been hanging around $70 for a while, but it's back down to $45.99.

Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009KYJAJY Here's the price history: https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B009KYJAJY

This is not an all-time low, but it hasn't gone much lower than this in recent years. I am tempted to buy a spare or two so I can give them as gifts or maybe just keep a "backup."

Absolutely killer watch, beautiful dial that gives a nice sunburst effect in some light, looks as nice as divers at several times the price if not more.

Like many dive watches, it comes on a somewhat fugly rubber strap. That stock strap is actually quite functional and comfortable - no shame in using it! This dude REALLY shines on a 22mm NATO strap or metal bracelet, though. One of the all-time steals in the watch world.

The only possible downside to this watch is that 44mm may be too large for some folks' preferences.

Same lol, my cosplay uses white Bruins which had a blue swoosh, painted red by yours truly!

As far as your watch goes, you can ~~did~~ get them fairly easy. Marty wore a Casio calculator watch throughout the series, and Amazon has the exact model for $20!

EDIT: what did I do to deserve autocorrect fucking me over so consistently lately??

This one has the time keeping and solar feature you are looking for. And if you are patient you can get them for 60-70 on Amazon. Buying an after market metal case for 50 then you have pretty much the same watch for 110-120. Here is a video of a guy building his own metal G-shock square.

* Casio Men's MDV106-1AV 200M Duro Analog Watch, Black 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,796 ratings Amazon's Choice for "casio duro" $46.94 USD Prime OK

That's the stainless steel model with a black resin strap. $46.94 USD is the best I've seen, but I'm in the U.S., and I have "Free" 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime. I've seen the same MDV106-1A on Ebay for around $45 but there can be shipping added. For you shipping is probably extra, and that can get expensive to Australia. See if you can find one at a Hong Kong dealer. BTW there are a couple of new models of the MDV106 that came out a month or two ago, but they are still a little hard to find. One has a gold-tone bezel (MDV106G-1A) and one is blue (I don't know the model #, MDV106B maybe?) I just bought the gold tone bezel model for $60.55 USD on Amazon. You might want to wait a while for the prices on the new models to drop a bit. Good hunting.

Casio Duro A watch that really punches above it's price point. Or if you really want to spend as little as possible for a pretty decent dive watch, there is the Casio MRW 200 .

You can get Seiko 5's for that price range. I have a SNK 809, and love it! The case is a little small, but that doesn't bother me.

It's not perfect but I'm happy with it for now. I probably adjust it every week or so, but I also don't wear it for a day and let it wind down every week or so, so it doesn't get off too much usually.

I do really like the look. I used to have one of these, then I broke it by dropping it 6 feet onto a tile floor :( It was a little better overall but it didn't have that great mechanical second hand.

They look good. I also didn't like the light very much. Switched to a Timex Ironman for a while, and just yesterday I got this in the mail:

If you'r ever looking for a green watch that's a bit dressier, you should consider the Seiko Alpinist. I received mine recently, and I am in love with it. It's gorgeous, and I highly recommend it!

Listing for the one I bought

Not really worried about it being a knockoff as the listing sold was directly from Casio.

Also going by this forum thread, the one I have ticks all the genuine boxes.

I bet this $40 Casio is nicer and better built than the Moonswatch: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-MDV106-1AV-Analog-Watch-Black/dp/B009KYJAJY/ref=sr_1_5

I'll give you two watches and still come in under your budget. Boom!

1) Sporty and rugged option

2) Dressy choice

There wearing calculator watches similar to this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Casio-Black-Calculator-Ca53W-1-Watch/dp/B000GB1R7S/ref=asc_df_B000GB1R7S/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341772622990&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=389928974351417729&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvq...

Hi guys,

I recently graduated and I wanted to ask for a watch as a gift or buy with my personal allowance. I've been using an casio w735 that my dad bought for me when I was in elementary school and I wanted to upgrade to an nicer analog watch.

My budget is probably around $100 and I do plan to wear it pretty often, like the one I currently use. Two watches that look pretty good to me are the Seiko snk809 and casio MTP-S120L but I'm open to similar designs as I know very little about watches. I think these are field style watches?

can someone also explain the pros and cons of quartz and mechanical watches? I kinda like the novelty of a mechanical watch but I'm worried about having to readjust the time all the time.

Definitely check out the Citizen BM8180 Eco Drive field watch. Solar powered, no battery changes and no maintenance; just let it spend a day on a windowsill every couple months.

Comes with a woven band which some people like and some don’t. Very easy to change straps which can really change the look of the watch. Sturdy, and 100 meters of water resistance. Very easy to read at a glance and the lume lasts all night.

Hi there,

Sorry about being late to this thread but I figured someone may still be reading it soooo... I'm a bit of a watch geek and am mostly into divers and cheap casios buuuuuuut my advice would be to get either of these for a trip to basic training.

1. Casio G-Shock DW5600, it's the classic style, ultra rugged, cheap and low-profile watch. Tough enough to handle anything basic can throw at it but also discreet and won't draw that TI's attention.
2. Casio AE-1500WH, this watch has a really, really nice big display, all the features you need, nothing you don't, it's cheap, and sports the same 200m water resistance that the G-Shocks do. I own two of these and they're awesome. I do have to warn you though to not fall for the model with the inverted/black LCD. It'll be tempting because it looks cool but it's a major PITA to read unless you're under perfect lighting conditions and angle so get either the brown with the regular display or the black body with the regular display.

Casio G-Shock I have a couple of these and they’re great.

Orient Bambino very nice for the price.

Then there is always Pagani Design. But they are “homages” for the most part. You can find their store on Ali Express.

It’s not obvious, but the GWM5610-1 listing on Amazon ships the 5610U. It’s been confirmed in most recent reviews. It currently has a decent discount.

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-Shock-GWM5610-1-Tough-Solar/dp/B007RWZHXO

I can't recall ever seeing a mesh bracelet on any of the SNKs. I personally only wear mine with original strap or this metal bracelet. But why not just get a cheap mesh bracelet on Amazon or eBay and try it out?

You must be playin tha game on a freakin CA-53W-1ER screen then..

Casio G-Shock GWM5610. Solar powered, 200m water resistance, stopwatch, timer, world time, alarms, back light, and atomic sync for accuracy.

If you want to go more subtle and grey man, Citizen BM8180-03E. Solar powered and 100m water resistance.

https://www.amazon.com/Casio-Mens-CA53W-1-Calculator-Watch/dp/B000GB1R7S

But in all reality most watches are probably a no go. If they have a microphone or any storage it's usually a problem in places you can't take a Bluetooth watch. If it was just a signal issue they could always put it in airplane mode. I'd honesty recommend a nice non smart watch

Segundo os reviews nem é mau

Insane value for the price, 35% off right now down to $44 and gets compared to watches costing $400-$500.

Fit and finish is incredible and you can wear it diving or hiking without worrying about it.

Actually that's a great question you ask & I see that it's $85 AUD on Amazon.

Not entirely sure why I didn't check this first tbh

As others have said, Citizen Eco-Drive watches are great. They tend to be on the fairly dressy side, though. If you want something casual and super rugged, and don’t mind digital, the Casio G-Shock GWM-5610 is a great choice. It’s both solar and atomic, and well within your price range.

Amazon starting at $49

You're in luck, they're making them again... And they're dirt cheap. Casio Men's Vintage CA53W-1 Calculator Watch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GB1R7S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_8DZYNYAVG64Y3BN3KJQG

I have the databank, it's a whipping $48 now and is exactly like the original down to the barely usable backlight. I remember my cousin had the updated databank with password protection and I was hella jealous - which they also make. I had to go for the og silver one for the memories, though.

For quartz, a Citizen BM8180-03E. Solar powered, 100m water resistance.

For mechanical, an Orient Bambino

You're welcome! This is a pretty basic example of the watches I'm talking about. I have one of these as a weekend watch/something to wear if I'm worried it will get really dirty or beat up. They truly do come in a huge number of colors, features, styles, etc.

yes you can buy them on Amazon and alot of watch websites

It’s very hard to find a watch that fits these requirements. You’re likely looking at a field watch without a bezel, but a lot of them will come with day/date complications, or only have 50 meters of water resistance. If you can compromise some, this would work: Citizen Eco-Drive GarrisonQuartz Unisex Watch, Stainless Steel with Nylon strap, Field watch, Green (Model: BM8180-03E) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EQS1JW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1QA56B8SSNGXZ5R3SK3V
