Hey guys! I’m new here and I recently started my own EDC thread. My system has been coming along nicely, but I’m thinking I might want a new watch here pretty soon. My current watch is a cheap $10 Walmart watch that I actually like quite a bit, but I predict that it’ll either fall apart or stop functioning here pretty soon. You can see the watch in this picture of my complete EDC system.
As you can see it has rubber wrist bands and a simple, no-frills analog face. Here is my thing. I HATE cloth/nylon bands and leather just doesn’t go with my dress. I borrow one of my dad’s nice leather watches when I’m really dressing up. So that leaves me with metal or plastic/rubber. I’ve tried metal (albeit, only cheap Walmart metals) and they give me a horrible rash even though they say they’re hypoallergenic. So here I am with rubber/plastic. Are there any higher quality watches that have rubber/plastic bands? I really love this watch, but it isn’t very high quality.
So here are my requirements
Simple, no-frills analog face
Rubber wrist bands
Waterproof
Durable
Under $100
Thanks!
