Ever since then it's been Walmart specials. (yes, I still wear a watch)
First one $12 had for 3-4 years, digital, back lit, stopwatch, never had a problem (The original battery never ran out) with it. Gave it to a deckhand down in Mexico for a tip, he really wanted it for some reason. The second ($15 Walmart) I have had for almost 2 years and it is still going strong. If it breaks or I lose it or the battery runs out I will be making another trip to Walmart.

yep, I've got a $12 K-mart watch that's been with me since I started OW, and on MANY lake outings. Still works perfectly, and if it goes to crap, I'll just buy another one. On the bezel it says "water 160ft resist". Chinese grammar eh?
