We have people, held in Guantanamo bay as Terrorists right now based on the fact that they were found to be in possession of a Casio F-91w watch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W#Claimed_use_in_terrorism
I got one off amazon and wear it to spark conversation: http://www.amazon.com/CASIO-F91W-1-Casual-Sport-Watch/dp/B00006I551
That's how fucked up our government has become.
It's a $5 Casio watch that is/was sold at the shoppettes and hasn't changed design in 30+ years. Somebody posted a BMT video from the 80's recently and I saw a few of those watches in it.

And it's not the one in the picture above.
They're Pearl Izumis, so presumably you should be able to get them easily enough outside of Canada. Try searching "lobster gloves" on Amazon, tons of results. Alternatively, try your LBS - if it gets down to -45 where you are, I'd be surprised if they didn't have some solutions for you.
I've only used lobster gloves down to about -10C, but they work fine at that temp. I doubt any sort of gloves or mitt would work very well past about -15C and still allow you to shift and brake effectively. Bar mitts are supposed to be amazing for those conditions, but I've never tried them.
A Rolex is a Rolex - but it also carries a lot of weight with it. I would love to have Rolex GMT - but - it just is not something that is in the budget right now. Even if it was...
That said, I have two Seikos (including the MIJ version of this one. For a wee bit of extra exclusivity - you should look into the Seiko SKX009 made in Japan. These are sometimes available on Amazon - and take a little more digging, but aren't extraordinarily more expensive. The black version is available on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/SKX007J1-Analog-Japanese-Automatic-Rubber-Divers/dp/B000RF6QRY Although you'll need a new bracelet - which are available online as well.
It's a great watch and I get lots of compliments on mine. It will keep the same time as a Rolex iand is super heavy. You might also want to look at Orient watches. OR if you want to go up a few dollars but less than a Rolex check out Tudor.
Believe me know one in watch circles would see it as anything other than a wonderful, affordable watch. Not a rip-off in the least bit.
If you're cool with a digital watch, the Casio F-91W is one of my favorites. It's only like $10 on Amazon and it's really thin. I wear it just about every day. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006I551/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Nn0qxbGQ6RMDF
Barely under $80 but I love my G-Shock 6900-1. I've owned two. The first one I had for about 6 years and went on three deployments to Iraq with me and still functioned flawlessly, till I lost it on vacation. Went for a couple years without a watch and just picked up the same model from Amazon. Couldn't be happier with it (again).
For sale is this discontinued Casio EF-503D-1AV. Great little speedmastard. $75 shipped within USA.

Despite the issues they're still a thumbs up for me.
I have these: Bar Mitts from Amazon
I would say they are bulky and restrictive but, for me, they are very effective.
I get all my Gshocks on Amazon. Not sure how good amazon is in the UK though. There's the normal 5610 with the red stripe around it,
A negative display 5610 (I'd stay away from negative display watches as the legibility is less than perfect at lower light levels) https://www.amazon.com/Casio-GW-M5610-1BJF-G-Shock-Solar-Digital/dp/B009S13XJC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1541711577&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gw+5610&dpPl=1&dpID=41ZQVhVFUOL&ref=plSrch
And a green tinted one that I cant find the link to but it's probably not readily available.
Ah, I was wondering (saw the ...10-1BJF on the tag). So it's this one on Amazon Prime that I can get in 2-days? Does the date actually look like it does on the Amazon page (tiny individual dots) or are they solid numbers like your picture shows?
I personally love my G-shock i own, ive bought 3 in the last 12 years. They are very durable, lightweight, and have a good variety so it should be easy to find one to your liking. The only reason ive bought 3 is because either the batteries die and i was too lazy to figure out how to replace it, or i was just looking to get a newer one. Very reasonable i think the last one i bought was $50.
Looks like amazon has the one i personally use for $41
[WTB] The cheapest G-Shock with tough solar and radio atomic sync (aka multiband).
I don't care about any other features. This will be a tool with a specific use case, not a fashion statement, so I'm not interested in any limited edition or expensive watches. I can get a brand new GWM500A-1 on Amazon for $70 shipped, so that's the deal to beat.
Thanks!!
Both the metal and the plastic versions of F-91W (and A159W) are very cheap at around $20 and are very tough and cheap to replace even if you somehow manage to break one.

I wear the 5600 daily. Love it. I slightly prefer the 5600 for it's appearance (blue vs red accents). The 5610 is the better watch as far as tech goes. The 5600 battery should last like 2-5 years and then be a standard ~$2 replacement battery. The DW5610 if it was anything like my previous solar gshock, lasts about 12 years. The battery was like $30 when I tried replacing it so I decided to grab a 5600 since I prefer the square over the circle style of my solar gshock.
This is the solar atomic gshock I have: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-G-Shock-GWM530A-1-Tough-Atomic/dp/B0094BKAWO/
Tubeless kicks ass in the winter, less pressure loss. I'm not sure about full squish in the winter (I've never done it). I would recommend buying extra chain cleaner and maybe some bar mits like these https://www.amazon.com/Bar-Mitts-Mountain-Commuter-Handlebar/dp/B009F9ZQH4/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=4VUJOGWIP2C6&keywords=bar+mitts&qid=1664324609&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjM1IiwicXNhIjoiMy4xOCIsInFzcCI6IjMuMDcifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=bar+mits%2Caps%2C15...
Or
I can’t believe they are so expensive now. Damn inflation. I like those or the classic squares. It’s really personal preference, but the two I sent look like what the seals got instead of Rolexes.
Anyhow, it won’t do fitness tracking. I wear a Gshock and a cheap fitbit. Both combined are still affordable.
The g shock is tough and waterproof and won’t run out of batteries. If you’re getting muddy or something, you can take off the fitbit and still have a watch.
I’m almost 40, so most of my life a running watch was a fitness watch.
Casio G-Shock GW-M5610-1BJF
Casio G shock. I've had the same tough solar on my wrist now since 2013. It's been all around the world, in oceans, rivers, mud, blood, dirt, welding, shooting, hiking, racing and crashing motorcycles and mountain bikes. Good for 20 bar (660 ft of water) It showed a low battery coming out of the box in June of '13, and the solar cells in the face filled it up. It's never had a low battery since, and It's never had a battery change At around midnight it pings a signal from the atomic clock and sets its own time to the millisecond (same as gps satilites)

Casio Men's GW6900-1 "G-Shock" Atomic Digital Sport Watch
Also, if anyone wants to check it out, the GW6900 is at a unusually low price of $76.50 here: Amazon GW6900 This is the “same price” compared with the DW6900-ws1 that I had just recently ordered. So I know it’s a special colourway but I prefer function over form to an extent. Thanks for the confirmation that this is a good move friends!
Bicycle hand shields and the little hot packs, if you can't afford the $100 for some battery powered heated gloves. And you'll want motorcycle heated gloves, as the ones at Lowes and such aren't meant to take direct 80mph wind all the time - they lose their heat.

GW6900-1.
It’s got the atomic syncing and solar of the GWM5619-1, but in the same form factor as the DW6900. Mine is on the way from Amazon right now as a complement to my square!
They're both CASIO watches you can get for cheap. He's saying he prefers the F91W, because it is very inexpensive, but also light, thin and wearable compared to other watches, like the CASIO A158, which is a bit heavier and thicker.
F91W:
A158:
You could change that.
