Well made inexpensive watches?

Rev. Pete,
I have them years ago, but if I remember correctly... The alarms would quit, then the back-light, then the watch itself. I am pretty hard on all my gear, including watches. I need to get a job as a product tester! I don't abuse it, I just use it to death...

I have a Benchmade 42-AS, and a 42-S (see the Balisong forum for info). The "S" is my EDC, and even with ti. handles and a great blade steel, It still has a couple very bad nicks, and a gouge in the handles, and a scratched up blade... The "AS" is my "dress" knife. For some reason sheople are not as scared of a purple knife.. :rolleyes:

Find a watch that will last me 5 years, and you found the toughest watch ever made! ;)
 
That Casio Triple Sensor looks like the old style one that I bought some time ago; I've seen ones at Costco or BJ's with a revised look to them. My Triple Sensor watch used a very brittle black plastic for the case, and it fractured at the wrist pin mount, so I can't attach the band to it any more. It wasn't dropped or impacted; just broke in normal use. The Casio Data bank watch I had also used the same type of material, and the case just disintegrated one day- I now just keep it in a petri dish-like filter case to keep the parts together, and it's still running, though.

I'm not sure if Casio's revised the type of material they used in the newer Triple Sensor, but I'd be leery of this, because it seems they selected a poor material for the case.

The G-shock I have, however, is totally invulnerable to everything; it can be thrown at a wall and it'll shrug it off. THAT'S the kind of material they should have used in all their watches.

New Casio Pathfinder This is the newer one that I saw- don't know if they've updated the material, but I would hope so.
