    Mine was a simple black Casio W216. I picked it up prior to basic training and it had everything I needed. 24 hour time, backlight, tough enough to survive but cheap enough to not cry about it if it somehow didn’t.

    But it did and I gave it to my brother who wore it for a while before losing it on a trip

    My first serious watch was a Casio Oceanus titanium S-100. Really an amazing watch for the money. I eventually ended up selling it, but those watches are hard to beat for the money if you don’t mind a quartz.

      It’s a beautiful design! I love quartz watches but I have to admit that there’s something about mechanical movements. Just knowing that it’s a bunch of tiny springs and gears instead of electronics is really cool despite the drawbacks.
