I've been looking for a cheap, tough, nice-ish watch for a while.
Had a g-shock which was lovely but was waaay to complicated, I couldn't do anything without consulting the manual. Anyway, after much pondering I settled on one of these Casio diver's watches:
Casio MTD-1054-1AVEF
Pics not mine but by way of example:

Easy to read, WR to 200m (not that it'll ever need to be!), quite pretty (I think), a sensible size and feels good on the wrist.
Most importantly it's also got two ruddy great LEDs that light up the whole face when you press the 2 o'clock button. Not sure they're quite bright enough to get you home (!) but they are bright like this:

Mine was a nudge over £40 delivered, I'm well chuffed.
Nice tat!
Horrible sweat inducing strap but otherwise I like
You can't go wrong for that price
Marks and Spencer have some nice watches at reasonable prices currently:
I have exactly the same for nightriding. Bit heavy though.
Not bad, my £60 eBay/knock-off? Swiss Army has luminous hands & markings.
Some nice Sieko aviators watches, way cooler than divers' ones, they've got slide rules on teh bezel and stuff!
This arrived this morning.

Me happy. 😀
Don,
I have one of those - v. happy with it after over a year's usage.
The night light could be better (sickly yellow glow) but I guess it is limited by the watch being solar powered.
Liking that. Does it have normal pins for fitting another strap, or is it some weird proprietary arrangement?
I recently bought myself one of these:

Lorus Men's Titanium Watch.
Picked it up in the highstreet for £35. Titanium case, cystal crown, very light and accurate to better than a second a month. Waterproof too, and the hands glow in the dark.
The strap is screw in and i guess not standard, maybe you can see from this.

Why, if the watch is so double hard, does it arrive in the poncey foam filled tin?

Lots of nice military watches on ebay too IIRC.
Tough as old boots...

I got one of these last month, not sure how tough it is but it looks great...
