Ten Dollar Tuesday: Hunruy Men's 41mm Big Face Quartz Watch

 A Classic Vintage Look at a Discount

One thing we haven't seen in our quest for a $10 watch deal is a vintage looking classical watch with a parchment colored dial and old fashioned numerals and hands. Until now! I just found this Hunruy 41mm Big Face Quartz Watch for Men or Women.

This watch is 41mm in diameter and just 8mm thick. It has a classic style with railroad track-style inner and outer scales. For American markets, the style is marred only by a foreign language word BINLIHUAN in the upper portion of the dial.

This watch gets 3.8 stars out of 5 in 13 reviews. As of this writing it is 38% off to meet our $10 goal. It's an interesting timepiece for the cheap watch collector for sure. If you'd like to check it out, you can use my Amazon affiliate link to find it here.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Gediyar "Spider" Men's Quartz Analog Watch

Sometimes Chinese companies make a cool looking watch, but seem to have no idea how to name it.  For this ten dollar Tuesday, I submit to you the Gediyar "Men Quartz Analog Watch Luxury Military Business Fashion Casual Calendar Male Man Waterproof Wrist Watches for Men." I'll nickname this one the "Spider" due to it's cool dial design. It's an interesting design that can be had in three different color schemes all of which are less than $10.

This watch has a very interesting design with symmetrical legs extending from a central hub, an exposed date track, and a window offering a peek into the quartz movement. It's a 45mm watch that's 11mm thick.  It has a silicone strap of generous length that should be able to fit wrists up to 10 inches in circumference. The watch is water resistant for daily wear and looks awfully good for just $10.  If you are interested in this watch, check it out further here on Amazon via my affiliate link.

Just remember, this is a $10 watch. You may encounter some of the issues that I've outlined in my post on the drawbacks of cheap watches.  Most of my cheap watches have turned out to be pretty decent, but you might find that the silicone straps are a bit thin or you might encounter short battery life. I didn't see any mention of this watch having a stainless steel case or caseback. You might get a rash or you might get a cool watch.  It can be a role of the dice.

The biggest danger posed by this watch is that it just might spark a question.  That question would be:

If I can get a watch this nice for just $10, how much are the bigger watch brands actually paying for their Asian-manufactured watches?

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Civo Silver Analog Watch with Smooth Bezel

This Ten Dollar Tuesday takes us over to the Amazon Haul site for another watch from Civo.  I had great luck with my recent purchase of a Civo Analog watch with a coin-edged bezel which I just reviewed here on this blog. I found a another similar Civo watch on the Haul site for $10. It also has a simple, easy to read, dial design and a smooth bezel. It also uses the hook clasp mechanism to secure the bracelet.

Since this Civo Analog watch is available in 11 different color combinations, it should be easy to mix into any wardrobe. If you are interested in checking this timepiece out, please feel free to use my Amazon affiliate link here.  

If you are looking for $10 watches, you should really check out Amazon Haul. All of the watches offered there are under $25 and the $10 level is a sweet spot. The selection of men's quartz watches on the site is staggering. You can check them out here via my Amazon affiliate link.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Time100 Quartz Sports Watch for Men

The best time to buy a post-apocalyptic watch is pre-apocalypse. Today's $10 watch is this clunky Time100 from the deepest recesses of the Amazon. The case and straps look very cool. As I write this, I strongly suspect that the subdials will be non-functional, but Chinese watches have surprised me lately.  

The Time100 Men's Quartz Watch (Amazon photo)

The listing for this watch had no product details. No highlights. No real description. The specifications offer that it's a quartz watch with 30-meter water resistance. They also list a 43mm diameter case, 13mm thick, with a 22mm wide silicone strap. Of course, I did what any irrational watch collector would do. I ordered it! It was only $9.

Fortunately, the watch arrived on Monday, just prior to this post. In many respects, I'm surprised and pleased by the watch I received. It came in a real box with a collector's tin! A collector's tin for a $9 watch!

The Time100 Chronograph in its collector's tin

Here are some of the answers to some of the key questions you might have:

Do the subdials work? Yes. This watch is a chronograph. It works and the date function works as well.

Does the watch fit? Yes.The strap is generously sized. 

Does it have a stainless steel caseback? Yes. That should help keep allergies and skin conditions at bay.

Is there lume? Yes. There is actually a bit of loom on the hour and minute hands.

The functionality and fit of this watch are astounding. Watches that are available at retail stores and cost less than $30 generally don't have working subdials.

The Time100 Chronograph watch

What's disappointing? The watch in the product photo has a flat finish which would have given the timepiece an industrial look, but the actually watch has a very glossy case appearance. This is not a show stopper--just a surprise.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied by the value delivered by this watch.  If you are interested, you can get the Time100 watch here via my Amazon affiliate link. I'll get a teeny-tiny commission. But, you'll get a watch for less than $10. It'll be cool to see how this one holds up over time. I was crazy to buy a watch with so little product information, but it's off to a great start.

Ten Dollar Tuesday Watch: LN Lenqin Diver-Style Watch

The US economy is really rough these days. Lay offs stretch across the land and young people have trouble landing entry-level jobs due to foreign competition and the rise of AI. When young people are living 4-people to a 2 bedroom apartment, it makes luxury watches seem like a distant dream. However, there are plenty of inexpensive watches that can give you great watch looks on a low budget. One watch company that offers low cost watches in China's LN Lenqin. They currently have a diver-style watch for only $10.  It's normally a $20 watch and, as of February 16, 2025, it is 50% off. It's a nice looking Rolex Submariner homage at a very affordable price.

LN Lenqin Diver-Style Quartz Watch

There is a chance that this watch might be inspired by a classic dive watch. It has the dive watch look. The watch has a quartz movement, a date window, a silicone strap, and a mineral glass crystal. There are some complaints with the metal bracelets for this watch, but reviewers seem satisfied with the silicone strap. Water resistance is highly suspect with much of the Amazon copy cautioning against fully immersing the watch. Nevertheless, this watch is faithful to the classic dive watches of our dreams. It comes in several color and case variations. It is available with a date cyclops bubble to mimic the Rolex Submariner look. Overall, it gets 4.1 stars on Amazon. To check it out, visit it here via my Amazon affiliate link.
 

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Nbonal Sport Field Watch for Men

Some watches demand immediate attention. One such watch is this Nbonal Sports and Field watch. With a classic, wide, bezel in a murdered out version of black, it looks like a an expensive watch. But, surprisingly, it's only $10.

At 44mm in diameter, the Nbonal Sport watch has much wrist presence. It also has the menacing black looks of popular commando watches that command hundreds or thousands of dollars more. Of course, it is an extremely inexpensive (dare I say cheap) watch and you may discover one or more of the drawbacks of a cheap watch (as I've blogged about here). But, for $10, it may well be worth the risk for a cool looking watch!

If you'd like to check out the Nbonal Sport Field watch, you can use my affiliate link to find it here on Amazon. My Amazon affiliate links generate a tiny bit of income that allows me to buy a cheap watch for myself every so often.

I have a suspicion. I don't have proof. But, deep down, I believe that many of the watches more popular brands sell for $25 to $75 may be built by the same companies that will sell you a cheap watch for $10 directly on Alibaba or Amazon. The quality and design may even be similar to popular watch models. One of problems companies that outsource production to faraway lands may face is that people in faraway lands learn how to make popular product and can cut out the original company as a useless middle man. But, it's not for me to school brands on the invisible hand of the marketplace. It's for me to find affordable and cool watches for our wrists.

TGIF: Defining Watch Affordability

Do you ever get frustrated by watch blogs and magazines that promise affordable timepieces and then direct you to articles on expensive luxury watches? I know I do. I'll read a headline teasing us about an "affordable" watch and then find myself reading about a $4500 watch that I won't be able to afford any time soon. Since I don't want to aggravate you, I figure this might be a good time to throw out some general definitions of watch categories. I'll use some terms that come up regularly on this blog and in my X posts:  cheap, affordable, attainable, and achievable.

An Inexpensive Watch at Walmart

What is a Cheap Watch?

To me, a cheap watch is a watch that costs less than  $50 US. Most of us can purchase a cheap watch without deeply affecting the family budget during a given pay period. At this price point, there are legions of watches available. Reliable brands like Armitron, Caribbean Joe, Casio, George, Timex, and US Polo Assn are solid brand names in this category. However, as my Ten Dollar Tuesday blog posts show, these brands are being pursued by lesser known Chinese brands that are delivering surprising features in this price category.

A Rumours Quartz Watch

A good example of a cheap watch is this square watch from SKMEI. It seems inspired by Bell & Ross, but it has a smoothness that seems like it should be perfectly at home in a Bugatti.  The surprise is the price. This watch is art, but the price is well less than $50.

An SKMEI Square Watch for Men

You can take a closer look at this beauty on Amazon. It's available via here via my affiliate link.

What is an Affordable Watch?

I believe an affordable watch is a watch that generally costs less than $300 US. Most of us can purchase an affordable watch with just a little savings or a credit card. An affordable watch shouldn't impact family finances much.  At this price point, brands like Casio and  Timex are joined by brands like Caravelle, Guess, Invicta, Hilfiger, MVMT, Nautica, Perry Ellis, and Wenger. Watches from brands like Bulova, Mathey-Tissot, Momentum, Orient, and Seiko also start to appear on shopping lists.

A Wenger Grenadier Watch

What is an Attainable Watch?

To me, an attainable watch is a watch that generally costs less than $1200 US. It's not always easy or prudent to purchase an attainable watch, but diligent savings, a nice tax refund, a decent work bonus, or some other windfall should sometimes allow an attainable watch to enter the collection from time to time. Attainable watches might come from brands like Bulova, Hamilton, Laco, LIV, Mido, Mondaine, Movado, or Tissot. There are lots of attainable watch brands from France, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. I consider these watch brands something special, a real luxury, and they evidence a strong commitment to watch collecting.

A Bulova Watch with Diamond Markers

What is an Achievable Watch?

To me, an achievable watch is a watch that generally costs between  $1200 and $2500 US dollars. You have to be financially successful to have the disposable income to buy these watches.  However, if you work hard, save, invest, and make all the right moves, you should be able to achieve the success necessary to buy one of these watches. I cover these watches from time to time because they are interesting and because they might be something we can get our hands on without using a ski mask and a hammer. But, this blog doesn't dwell on these watches because they are beyond the prudent reach of many readers.

What lies Beyond Achievable?

Once we get beyond $2500, we enter the world of the highly successful. These might be the luxury and ultra-luxury watches of entrepreneurs, lawyers,  doctors, and real estate moguls of our world. This blog ends where many mainstream watch magazines and influencers begin. We might admire these watches from afar. For most of us, watches from brands like Panerai, Tudor, and Rolex are out of prudent financial reach. I spot them from time to time on people who are successful entrepreneurs. God bless them for putting in the hours and taking the risks to fuel our economy. These brands established the icons that serve as aiming points for the rest of the watch industry. I don't generally cover these watch brand on this blog unless I notice one in the wild, find a great deal on a used one, or use one as an inspiration for finding similar looking more affordable watches

Hopefully, these definitions help a bit. Obviously, they can be a little fluid from time to time. But, this should cover the gist of what I cover on this blog.  May all of you attain the prosperity to only visit this blog in search of beater watches for gardening and mowing your lawn.

Wristwatch Review: CIVO Analog Quartz Watch

Can a Cheap Chinese Watch Replace A Rolex?

I bought a new watch. It is the CIVO Analog Quartz watch for men. It's a low cost watch that looks good and competes well against much higher priced watches.

CIVO Men's Analog Quartz Watch

Will it replace a Rolex Explorer or Rolex Datejust? Well, it tells time just like both of them. It has a Japanese quartz movement that seems very reliable. It even has lume on the hour and minute hands. Of course, it doesn't have lume that's intense enough to glow for hours after you've gone to bed.

CIVO Watch Design

From a design perspective, this watch sits in a practical space somewhere between a dress watch and field watch. As a field watch, it has a readable white dial with a small date window just inside of the 3 o'clock position. As a dress watch, the bezel has a coin-edge fluted design that catches the sun with a datejust-like dazzle. I test the watch in a field on a 90-degree plus day and it survived just fine.

This Civo watch is working just fine in a field

Perhaps a forest test for this watch would be in order?

CIVO Watch Dimensions

In terms of dimensions, the CIVO Analog watch has contemporary dimensions with a 39mm diameter case that is 10mm thick. The hook clasp bracelet fits wrists up to 8.66 inches. The watch dimensions are perfect for the office, formal events, or a walk in the woods.

CIVO Hook Clasp Watch Bracelet

Some reviewers don't like the hook clasp bracelet.  It's kind of an old-fashioned setup. But, I found that it worked well once initial adjustments are made.

To Adjust the Civo Watch bracelet, you have to use a small screwdriver, insert it into the center of the hook landing area, and gently pry it open. Then you can slide the hook landing area to have a longer or shorter bracelet to fit your wrist.

The Hook Clasp Landing Area in the Open Position for Adjusting the Length

Once you have adjusted the bracelet to the desired length, you need to press the landing area down to ensure it is secured to the bracelet.

Hook Clasp Landing Area in the Closed Position Secure  to the Bracelet and Ready for the hook

The hook portion of the other part of the bracelet clamps over the bar on the left (above) and the clasp then folds down over the landing area. In practice, I found that it worked well and, once adjusted, doesn't have to be changed.

CIVO Watch Construction

The CIVO Analog watch features all stainless steel construction:  a stainless steel caseback, stainless steel bracelet, and stainless steel case. The crystal is simply listed as glass.

The watch has 10 atmospheres (30 meters/100 feet) of water resistance. That's a practical specification to protect against rain, sweat, and normal handwashing but not for swimming or diving.

CIVO Analog Watch Impressions

I was quite impressed by this simple watch. It provides the minimalist style and functionality that so many crave in more expensive field and minimalist watches at a price that can't be beat.

The CIVO Analog watch takes alley shortcuts with confidence

In the urban environment, the CIVO Analog seemed urbane enough. I've worn it to the office, on errands, and out walking the dog and the watch has simply worked and worked well. 

CIVO Analog Watch Packaging

Overall, I've been very impressed by the watches I've purchased as a result of my Ten Dollar Tuesday watch quest. You can see the other watches that I've found here on my blog. I think I like this one the best because of its simplicity and stainless steel construction.

CIVO Watch Price

The Civo Silver Quartz watch for men generally sells for under $30.  But, as of thie writing. this white dial variant is on sale for 67% off, that brings it in at a penny under $10. That's an amazing price. If you'd like grab one, check it out here using my Amazon Affiliate Link.

Can A CIVO Watch Replace A Rolex?

If you've been waiting to know whether this humble CIVO analog watch can replace a Rolex--like an Explorer or Datejust--you probably already know the answer.  Of course, a CIVO can replace a Rolex--especially when you can't afford a Rolex!

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Nibosi Men's Square Quartz Chronograph with Diamonds

 Can you get a square quartz chronograph watch with diamonds and a moonphase subdial? No.  I don't quite think so. But, you can get square quartz multifunction watch with diamonds and a moon phase subdial. Nibosi is offering this Patek Philippe homage for just under $10 on Amazon. Let me explain the watch below:

Nibosi Quartz "Chronograph" Watch (Amazon Photo) 

The Amazon copy says it's a chronograph, but the photo clearly shows a watch with a multi-function dial including the day of the week, the date, the 24-hour time, and a moonphase complication. It also has "diamonds" embedded in the bezel. While it may not be a chronograph, I believe this watch will deliver a nice looking watch with working subdials..  That's why I ordered it.

I have bought a few Nibosi watches and they all seem pretty good.  They aren't perfect, but they are certainly worth a $20 to $40 price tag. Of course, you could pay $244,000 for a similar watch from Patek Philippe. But, the subdials on the one I saw lack the symmetry of the subdial layout on the Nibosi. In addition, quartz movements require less maintenance beyond battery changes. These advantages make the Nibosi the obvious choice.  You can get it here via my Amazon affiliate link.

TGIF: The Prestige You Know

Once upon a time, when exotic sports cars appeared on Magnum PI and Miami Vice, I advised my parents that they should buy a Ferrari. It didn't matter that a Ferrari cost as much as our house and didn't have room for our family of four. I was bought into the hype. My dad ignored my advice.

Sometimes the watch press can get you all excited about watches that you've never seen in real life and that you've never encountered on the wrist of a person you actually know. When you lust for an expensive exotic watches, it can get a little silly. A great watch can exude class and good taste, but still be the craziest thing you could possibly buy. Most of us are Starbucks rich not Ferrari rich.

Sometimes it's good to step back a bit and think sensibly about watches and watch brands that have been held in high esteem by regular middle class people for years. A nice Seiko, Citizen, Bulova or Movado watch is still a big deal.

Movado Bold Evolution 2.0 (Amazon photo)

Our Ten Dollar Tuesday watches show that the essential mission of a wristwatch can be accomplished at a very low price point. That makes a watch like this Movado Bold Evolution watch quite a luxury at 45x the price. (Of course, it is a great looking watch and easily available at my Amazon affiliate link here.) If you are fortunate to get a watch like this one, value it, it is a special luxury.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Nuovo Men's Classic Quartz Watch

If you are looking for a classic watch look in an inexpensive package, check out the Nuovo Men's Classic Quartz watch. It's a quartz watch with a 41mm dial that is 10mm thick. 

Nuovo Classic 41mm Quartz Watch

The watch has a familiar field watch dial layout. While the advertising copy mentions stainless, the case and bracelet are both alloy metals. Nuovo claims that this watch is water resistant to 30 meters. Several dial color combinations are available. There is another dial arrangement and one with a 50% off special. But, those are for another post.  If you'd like to check this watch out on Amazon, use my affiliate link and see the Nuovo Classic here.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Oulm Three Movement Watch

When I first started this blog, I wanted to focus on watches that were affordable, look cool, and make us happy. I think this unusual three movement watch from NBONAL might do all three! It features 3 separate Citizen Miyota movements in an unusual 3 dial case. Amazingly, all of it  hits our $10 mark as well!

Oulm 1167 Multi-Movement Quartz Watch

The style of this watch is pretty crazy. But, if you collect watches, it's the crazy watches that make a collection memorable.

If you'd like to purchase a watch like this one, you can find it here using my Amazon affiliate link.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: EOJOMIN Gediyar Men's Large Big Face Watch

Today's $10 watch is sold on Amazon by EOJOMIN. It's a Gediyar-branded "Men's Large Big Face Wrist Watch Waterproof Silicone Band Watch for Men Quartz Analog,Easy Read Male Dress Date Luminous Sport Watch Elegant Gift." It comes straight out of China's Guangdong Province and its stuffed with keywords, a familiar dial pattern, and a quartz movement. All for well under $10.

EOJOMIN Gediyar Men's Large Big Face Watch (Amazon Photo)

This one is a bit of a challenge to my buying sensibilities because the large numerals on the dial 02, 03, 04 are an obvious homage to Diesel watches that aren't that old. I actually do want to get a classic Diesel watch with those iconic big numbers someday.

Gediyar Big Face Specifications (Amazon Materials)

Despite the big face name, this Gediyar watch is practically sized at 45mm in diameter with a normal 11mm case thickness. The silicone strap is also generously sized at 22mm wide and 25 centimeters long. User reviews show the watch marked as having a stainless steel caseback and the case is noted in the description as being a steel alloy case. The watch comes in a variety of color combinations and is a great looking timepiece for a very low price. If you'd like to check it out, bang it here to visit this watch via my Amazon affiliate program link.

Ten Dollar Tuesday Watch: EAJOMIN Gediyar G713 Sport Watch

 As we deal with a challenging economy, it can be fun to grab a good looking watch from time to time. This EAJOMIN Gediyar G713 watch recently caught my eye. I'm just a sucker for silver-on-silver watch case and dial combinations. This watch regularly sells for less than $10 and is currently 11% off on top of that to make for a low, low, price. It's a pretty tempting price.

EAJOMIN Gediyar G713 Sport watch (Amazon Photo)

The watch is 43mm in diameter and 9.5mm thick. It comes with a long silicone strap that is 25 centimeters long. That allows this watch to accommodate wrist diameter of up to 9.85-inches. The watch is advertised as waterproof for daily life. (I take that to mean a few splashes or light rain capable.)

The main drawback that I see to this timepiece include the unknown metal quality. There is a review that indicate the wearer got a rash from the clasp to this watch. I'll have to add this drawback to my TGIF post on The Drawbacks of Cheap Watches.

Still, it's a great look, a great size, and an incredibly low price. If you want to test your resistance to temptation, check this EAJOMIN Gediyar watch out here via my affiliate link.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Casotime Tactical Military Watch for Men

If you've got $10 and an appetite for a military-style watch, your money can go far! The Casotime Tactical Military Watch is currently discounted by 60% on Amazon to come in at an amazingly low price that's well below $10. The watch offers 30-meter water resistance, a 40mm diameter dial, and a battery good for 1+ years.

Casotime Tactical Military Watch for Men (Amazon Photo)

The strap is of a generous size and the watch looks like a competitor to entry-level Timex Expedition watches. But, there may be drawbacks with a watch this cheap. For example, the 1-year battery life and "fire-and-forget" operation makes me wonder if it is hard to change a battery. You can check this low-priced Casotime watch out here via my affiliate link.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: The Kakabi Minimalist Men's Watch

One glaringly obvious truth in the watch world is that China can produce a perfectly good wristwatch.  If you aren't trying to make a socio-economic statement or support old world craftsmen, an inexpensive watch that looks good and tells time is sufficient for most people. The Kakabi Minimalist dress watch for men may be a good choice for the basic time-telling mission and it fits within our $10 watch pricing criteria.

Kakabi Minimalist Watch (Amazon Photo)

In the looks department this watch competes well with the Timex Easy Reader and Casio Men's Standard Watches. The watch has a generously-sized 40mm diameter case, easy to read numerals, 304-grade stainless steel case, and a Japanese quartz movement. While some purchasers, aren't happy with the longevity of this watch, the Kakabi gets 4.4 stars overall out of 205 ratings.

Two Great Men's Watches Under $30

Over the past few months, I've been looking at low-priced watches. In an inflationary world, it's nice to find some small pleasures that are still affordable. Here are a couple of watches that are great choices in the sub-$30 price range.

1. Civo Analog Watch. For $30 or less, Civo offers some great analog watches. I recently discovered the brand in my search for Ten Dollar Tuesday (visit link) candidates. However, for under $30, Civo has options like this Silver-on-Silver classic. This watch gives you all the great looks of a classic men's watch from the late 20th century without any of the headaches that might come from a vintage timepiece

Civo Men's Analog Quartz Watch (Amazon Photo)

If youa are intrigued, you can find this watch easily here on Amazon using my affiliate link. If nothing else, this watch showcases what Chinese manufacturers can do for a basic watch design. 

2. Casio A168WA Digital Watch with Electro-Luminescence.  For under $30, you can get any number of classic Casio digital watches. In a world of expensive smart watches, these watches are a bit of a vintage geek flex. This watch touts ElectroLuminescence which backlights the dial with a uniform blue light that makes the numerals easier to read.

Ten Dollar Tuesday: The Kakabi Roman Numeral Watch

Over the past few posts, I've provided some high faluting watches. That's because I wanted us to be able to keep up with the Joneses over at WatchTime. However, if you're living or a fixed income or you have an employer that's trying to fix your income, you always have the option of reverting to a nice looking watch with Roman numerals. In this case, this 40mm diameter Kakabi Men's Classic Quartz Watch with a leather strap looks perfect for a business casual workplace. It hits our $10 mark as well!

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Agen Kgen Ultra Thin Minimalist Watch

You don't have to pay a maximum price for a minimal watch. There are plenty of low price offerings in the watch market place. A good example would be this $10 watch from Agen Kgen. This watch has a simple, readable, dial in a 41mm diameter case that is just 8mm thick. It's secured to the wrist by a 20mm wide leather strap. It's powered by a Japanese quartz movement.

The brand copy says they draw inspiration from Swedish design. However, the watch is made in Asia and there's no known presence in any specific country for this e-commerce brand. On Amazon, it gets an average of 4.2 out of 397 ratings. Some reviewers mention a fragile glass crystal and rather short strap as drawbacks. It looks like it is pretty easy to swap out the watch strap. For $10, it might be worth rolling the dice and taking your chances. If you'd like to check it out and potentially buy it, use my affiliate link here!

Ten Dollar Tuesday: Civo Military Watch

If you have legions and legions of troops, you don't want to spend too much on their watches, that's where this CIVO Military Watch would come in handy. It seems to be continually marked at 50% off for a price under $10. It delivers on the typical military field watch style.

CIVO Military Watch

The CIVO Military watch is a quartz watch with a 39mm diameter case that is 11mm thick.  It sports a 20mm wide strap that is 240mm long. The manufacturer claims 30-meter water resistance. It's a nice looking field watch for about $10. If you'd like to check it out, use my Amazon affiliate link to see the Civo Military watch here.
