Need a cheap beater watch around $100.

[Brian425 0]

So I am in the market for a new beater watch. You know, one for the DZ, jet ski, drunken incidents, etc.

Any recommendations? I'm looking to spend around $100. Not concerned about digital or analog. It must be able to take a beating.

Any Swatch would do the trick and you get them in any design you fancy. I usually get one every 6 months or so as they are cheap and you can change the design to match your mood.

Currently I like the second skin range. They are ultra thin.

Have a look at www.swatch.com

Too much is never enough!

All right scud?

well as they say... timex, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking........ 30-40 bucks and you have a decent watch for "sport" wear, for a dresier lok you couldalways go for a fosil, mine has lasted through alot of stuff.. and still looks alright to wear with nice but not realy dressy cloths.... all deepends on the style though too....

Don't you normally have your phone with you? Ever since I got a pager and or cel phone I've seen no need for a watch.

I can't subtly pull out my phone to check the time. I can glance at my watch during a meeting or conversation without being too rude.

Heck, I didn't spend $100 on my "good" watch. My beater cost $5.96 at Wal-mart, and it's been find for the last year and a half or so through skydiving and a lot of sweat. Dunno about waterproofness, I don't use it in the water, but I'm sure there are inexpensive options.

For $100 I can run through a lot of $5.96 watches

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

If you want a beater that is indestructable, you can't beat the Casio G-Shock. They range from like $60 to $120.

Right on - my philosophy too. My cheapo Casio has over 1500 jumps on it.
