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.
I have a Casio DW5600-E. They're bullet proof.
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.
^ +1 for the Halo II Headband. It fits well under a helmet and does a great job at keeping sweat away from your eyes. I take mine off during breaks in the action and it dries very quickly. I don't ride without it.
I was searching for the MGSV watch on r/watches and had to make a post!
The Casio ae1200 is $15 on Amazon and will be a great addition for cosplayers or people trying to subtlety pretend they're snake or bond.

It's obviously not exactly the same but gets you a similar look for way cheaper
(Doesn't actually speed up time)
i bought one of these on a recommendation here, but haven't got to use it due to injury. but anyway, that's what's come up before in discussion.
I wear these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H25M7WF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Didn't like the halo band I tried (anything tight on my head gives me a headache, hats, etc.). They're super light and thin and I don't get sweat in my eyes while riding.
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.
Didn't even spend the extra $12 to upgrade from plastic to silver plastic
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.
I've been really happy with the Halo II headband. It's very thin so it fits under the helmet easily and has this rubbery bit to direct sweat away from my eyes.

I'm super cheap, so I buy these. They work great and so far, they hold up to repeated cycles in the washing machine.
I’m using the Yoga/Exercise headbands. They’re awesome and keep the sweat out of my eyes. I don’t like the sweat caps because they’re too warm for me.
Yes, but it depends on what I'm doing. I've spent most of my career working in a bar, so I've always needed something that can take a beating, get soap on it, time stuff for batches, etc etc. In that regard, it's actually a tool that I feel unprepared if I forget at home.
But yes, I work out with mine, I scuba dive with mine, I wear mine around the house during covid, I garden with mine, I travel with mine, and unless I'm wearing a suit it's my default watch. I really like the "casioak". but my current watch already ticks enough boxes that I don't feel like I need to replace it. You can def spend more on a watch, and I think when you figure cost-per-wear it's seriously low.
This is the one I wear, it's a tank, but's all black and it pretty much impossible to destroy.
I wore this watch throughout my 6 years in the Marines served me well. I was in the Infantry it's the original Casio G-Shock

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.
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!
they do sell the reissue for only $41. looks very similar but says illuminator, not made in japan, and not a screw back.
I just wear a tight, neutral sports bra. High-cut racerback works best. If it has pads, I take those out. (I actually don't bind at all; that's what I wear basically 24 hours a day.) I'm relatively flat-chested to begin with, though.
For pants, I like men's sweatpants from Target. They make me feel comfy and nicely gender-neutral. In the summer, I do embrace the booty shorts lifestyle. I've noticed that a lot of men wear compression shorts under more flowy-type basketball-ish shorts; that could be a good option if tight-fitting shorts don't feel right for you!
I wear a lot of band shirts (if they aren't already tank tops, I cut out the sleeves, because I guess I'm living up to the dudebro stereotype these days). They're more "me", and they're usually unisex cuts. I've found that works better for me than women's athleticwear, which gives me awful dysphoria.
Here's a weird tip that may or may not apply: I started to feel really good when I started wearing headbands. I'm growing my buzzcut out now that I'm more comfortable with my gender, and wide headbands like these contain my horrible shag-mullet-thing without causing dysphoria. They also contain the buckets of sweat I shed, so they're very practical!
I think you'll just have to experiment to see what's right for you! Good luck!!

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.
> I'm not sure i've seen that Citizen before.
While this watch is easily worth the $113 that they're asking, I cannot stop myself from gloating for a moment: I got it on amazon Prime Day for $74.
As a note, local amazon prices may be slightly lower than long island watches.
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
I use these headbands from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H25M7WF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They help with sweat and with comfort. A+ I recommend them for any VR user, the difference is extremely noticeable.
