I have a Timex indiglo from 2015 that is still running, eight years later.

Seiko quartz that I paid 5 or 10 bucks for at a flea market. It had a bracelet on it that got moved to another watch. Just the bracelet was worth the purchase price. Put a battery in it and a cheap Walmart band. Makes for a decent looking piece.

I've always had good luck with them, in spite of bad reviews from some people.

Me as well! I have probably a dozen of them about 1/2 automatics and have not a single watch has failed me. Bang for the buck and stylish

This is my only watch not made by Apple; a Seiko quartz chronograph Sports 150. Bought it in 1992 at the Schofield Barracks Exchange and the dear wife deemed it my 5th anniversary present - still have it and her 31 years later. The battery is dead and I think it needs a good cleaning and new crystal. Should see if anyone in OK wants another resurrection project

Stock photo as I am wearing my apple watch right now, but you get the idea. Gave $35-40 on black friday, and the bands can be had for $10-$20.

I've got the green one. My pool/yard watch. Helluva deal.

Teddy Baldessare and several other watch guys/reviewers consider it to be the best dive watch under $200. And thats at full retail. Only complaint is the lume, but in real world situations, its never really been an issue. I wear it in the pool, lake, ocean, anywhere it would get wet or I would use a "diver" and it's held up great. Bezel got a little wonky after the ocean, but just made sure I rinsed it well in the shower and all was good. I got my son the blue/black (batman) and will throw the bracelet in his stocking at Christmas.

I have a Timex Indiglo from 1996 that is on my wrist now and running. Granted, I did throw it in a drawer and forget about it for 20 years...
