$50 Navy exchange Casio G-shock just died today after 6 years. One before that lasted a good 6 or 8 as well. Like mentioned above the G-shock is fast 2-3 seconds per week if not more. I also have a $50 Bleitring navitimer I picked up in Kuwait, but it needs a battery and doesn't keep good time.
I've been looking around and see Casio has a version of the G-shock that receives the atomic clock signal so its always accurate. Might go that route, except right now I need to be hacked in to GPS time. Should be the same, but sometimes it seems like the atomic clock and GPS are off by a couple or 5 seconds.
One day when I can afford to buy some toys a real Breitling navitimer will be high on the list, although the Louis Vuitton purse for the wife will come first when that day finally gets here.
Edit: What's the deal with airline uniform requirements for having a watch? Are there any general guidelines for the color/appearance of the watch?
I kind of like this one, 40 bucks on ebay...
