It's got to be the Casio F-91W - the AK47 of the watch world - cheap and it works.

And users of the latter are often users of the former.... 🙂
A £1 breo copy from primark,nearly a year old and still working
Do you need a Trail watch or an All Mountain / Enduro watch?
Stainless steel Rotary here. Waterproof to 200m and reassuringly hefty.
Wear it to work, on bike, snowboarding etc. Riding in it for a couple of years - no problems.
£85 at the local outlet place - RRP £170 if you are gullible enough to believe that.
I use a G-Shock, Mrs Madhouse got it for me after one too many "sorry I'm late, I don't have a watch for the trails" excuses - now I've got to 'forget' to put it on 😉
For those recommending Casio F-91W, I can confirm biking can kill them. Just takes lots of hits, so maybe they're made of badger or something.
As already said breo, but the original one. Won't die and most important, won't hurt you in the event of a crash

Bucket load here:
Might get a yellow one :.-)
Pink... I dare you all 🙂
and the analoque version.
any Suunto! Decent watches
Casios are great, but their plastic straps are awful, never got more than 2 years out of a strap. On the other hand, the metal strapped ons are simply delishusss. I'd go for a Timex Indiglo with a metal strap.
I prefer one with hands as I can't see little numbers very well without my glasses.
I have a Timex Expedition and it's fine, and dead cheap.
My other watch is Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, E X but it's not a Timex, and at 60 yrs old (the watch) I wouldn't wear it for biking.

This one's solar powered, updates the time every night by radio waves (i.e. always right) and has stopwatch timer and all the other stuff you might want.
I got one of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-PRG-40B-2VER-Protrek-PRG40B-2VER/dp/B0010M6VVO/ref=sr_1_11?s=watch&ie=UTF8&qid=1331664067&sr=1-11 ]THESE[/url] . Really don't know why I got one, but it's remained scratch free for two years.
I quite like this [url= http://stemcaptain.co.uk/index.php/shop/product/2-stem-cap-bike-clock ]ONE[/url]
Only an echo at this point, but some kinda G-Shock ...
My ti PRG-80T 7VER has been totally reliable, and proven itself to be extraordinarily tough (ah, sorry, not for £100.00 tho', unless maybe you can pick one a pre-loved one). Now that I've err, [i]discovered[/i] you need to set the a reference altitude on the day *cough cough*, the altimeter has proven itself to work properly too.
That said, the thermometer is only useful for measuring the temperature up your sleeve tho' unless you leave it off for ~45 minutes before hand, then it's fine too.

Yet another F-91W wearer.
Cheap, bloody tough, more accurate than a Rolex and I don't care what Douglas Adams said.
I would love one of these, but the postage to the UK is a bit steep.
Full tritium watch for $99? Bargain!
Group buy potential?

one of the cheapy casios will fit snugly under your glove and won't rattle around as it is so thin and light, in fact I'd be amazed if it isn't pretty much as thin and light as a swatch skin which is so thin and light that it is hardly noticable but the Swatch is much more expensive, although the expense is justified as it is so much thinner and lighter than the casio
😈
An Animal of some sort. My 2 have been perfectly reliable for many years now (one over 10 years old, the other around 8 )
this is all you need £5.60 had mine for 4 years out in all weathers and a trip through the washing machine replaced the battery a couple of times and its still going strong
