I grabbed mine at walmart for 45 i think. Pretty decent watch. Water proof, seems to be pretty tough too. [External image (images.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Gotcha. I think timex does make some analog faces as well. I have had good luck with Timex for work. I wear a Polar M400 now.

That saiko looks good, but I personally wear a Skagen 105LTX. Its a discontinued model, but Skagen makes fucking AWESOME watches, so totally get one if you have the budget.

Here’s a similar model to mine:

Like I said, amazing watch, but you definitely pay a premium for quality these days.

I have also used some of the $12 walmart watches. They are cheap and seem to hold up fairly well. They even have some with the analog face like you were looking for. I didn’t mind if I destroyed those but they really lasted surprisingly well.
