Reply to comment by scorpinock2 in What's a good cheap watch? by DISTROJAR-69

>automatic or a quartz

Well, im looking for something really cheap so I don't think I can afford an automatic even my g-shock b-100 mudmaster which cost 400 euros is a quart watch.

Tho I don't really care since the mudmaster has an auto-correcting time feature built-in.

If you don't care about the looks as much, my hiking/renovating/portaging watches are the casio A158W-1 and the Casio f91W-1. Theyre both basically the same, but the A158W-1 is in stainless steel. Looks nicer and is more durable. I've had to replace the strap on my F91W-1 before and it's about as much as the watch. Both are retro looking but super accurate. I hadn't adjusted the F91W-1 in 3 years and it was only a few seconds off. The A158W-1 was about a minute off after like 2-3 years. Either way, great for the price.

You can get the entry-level Orient Diver for about $100, new. It's a good watch for the money, but BIFL? Not sure. I'd rather spend a little bit more money and get a Seiko Sports5 Field Watch.
