What we like

  • 200 m water resistance with a screw-down crown at under $100
  • An anti-reverse rotating bezel, a screw-lock crown and a screw-lock back
  • Casio publishes the full specification, down to the SR626SW cell and the 2784 module
  • Cheap enough to treat as genuinely disposable

Watch Brands: Casio

Casio approaches watches as electronics rather than jewellery, and the result is a catalogue where a $60 watch can carry a 200 m rating and a screw-down crown.
