I own three Omegas, two Citizens and three Seikos, but the little Casio Forester is the watch that goes with me into harm's way.  I work in very severe conditions--in the Middle East.  You don't want to expose a fine mechanical or even quartz watch to daily dust baths and searing desert heat.  The little Casio has held up through the worst of conditions, and still keeps time to within 15 seconds a month of the atomic clock in Colorado.  It's highly water resistant, and so light you hardly know it's on your wrist.  Amazon sells this watch under $20.  How can you complain about a rugged, accurate watch for under $20?  I usually wear an Omega when going "out on the town," but the Casio is my watch for the dust storms and being around things that could knock your expensive watch silly.  My expensive watches will last much longer because I have sense enough not to wear them to work!
