G shock for me as well.Had it about ten or so years now. When I break it, I'd be more than happy to buy another. been smashed against trees,rocks etc repeatedly and still going strong.
Has a timer built in as well which is handy for poaching eggs etc.
I stopped wearing a watch while riding a few years ago when I crashed once and the main body got pushed in and up my arm causing bruising and a nice big gash.
BTW it was a Casio, bloody good watch till that crash. Ended up with a smashed face.
Ive got a Casio F-91W its cheap light small and it works but the light is crap and I can never remember which button it it. I would get a Digital watch with the light button in the middle on the front for the ease of telling how long until last orders when on a night ride.
I hate cycle computers..
Ok hate is a strong word – just never seen the point EXCEPT when stage racing, had one fitted for the transalps I have done.

Not a specific one, but I have a titanium Citizen Promaster diving watch as my everyday one. Automatic, 200m WR (so no worries swimming or diving with it), cost about £80 delivered from some far-eastern ebay seller.
some cheap casio thing on a velcro strap. In winter, put it on over your jacket. I hate that feeling of delving up your sleeve to find out exactly how late you're going to be (how much trouble you're in) and getting rain and cold up your sleeve
I have a mate, and he wears a watch. I hate wearing a watch on the bike. Don't like them done up tight, and don't like that rattling around when you get bumped about.
£10 casio thing from argos. I've broken tow nicer watches riding so decided to have a cheaper watch. Bigger numbers, light and a stopwatch which is all useful.
I didn't know that, but the Breitling has reached that point now where one more scratch won't be noticeable 😉 and I only got married last year, so the Rolex is still super shiny and new.
CFH – had two batteries in mine in 12 years but then I do use the funky "auto tilt" light quite often. It's bright enough to find keys/door locks!
Lodders – depends on the model.
Low key big engined model with no M Sport tarting up – classy
M Sported up 318d/320d/320i with huge wheels – for Breitling/Rolex wearers.
"Proper" M cars – usually classy.
ANY BMW with an inappropriate "M" badge – complete chav fail.
