I always go with a cheap water resitant up to 100M. I need it to tell time and that is about it.

OGR - agreed.

Tho I am considering a tide watch... But being a cheapskate it'll be an eBay AU$20 special ;)

I never spend more than AU$20 on a watch :D

A good man (called Dave Lee Roth) once said, when asked why he didn't wear a watch, " If you need to know the time, you're not tryin hard enough!"

I kinda go by that ethos! :lol:

Oh, and yes, I do have a job! :lol: :lol:

I've got a £5.99 Argos boys watch, water res. up to 50m I think. From before we had our own baords and needed to get the hire stuff back.

I figure if it breaks then I can get another without breaking the bacnk.

Tis well sexy as well,. Go on, I now you want one.
