Looking for a watch

[U.S. Patriot]

I need a good solid watch that will also read in Military time. I do not want to spend more then $50. Anyone have any good suggestions?

My wife is like a pit bull when it comes to shopping. She has found some unbelievable deals on G-Shocks at holiday time.

Another big +1 to Casio G Shock .

I wear one at work that has been through mudd, blood, vomit, water, etc and it keeps on ticking (Casio Mudman Amazon.com: Casio Men's G9000-1V G-Shock Mudman Digital Sports Watch: Casio: Watches )

I wear a Casio G2900 (Amazon.com: Casio Men's G2900-1A G-Shock Classic 10-Yr Battery Digital Sports Watch: Casio: Watches) on my days off

The G2900 can be found at Kohl's for around $50

Another +1 for the G Shock. I have a "Tough Solar," and it has been the only watch that has lasted me more than a couple years. I bought it on the recommendation of some HSLD guys, and it is a decision I have never regretted. My body has some sort of inordinately high, weird magnetic field (my PCP's "official diagnosis") that "kills watches and other sensitive electronic items" in short order. My old pastor gave me a Movado as a going away present. It lasted all of a month before crapping out. Replacing the 5-year battery only worked for about half an hour before it died completely. This has been the case with every single watch that I have ever owned or borrowed.

I first noticed this effect when I was 10. My grandma gave me this excellent pocket watch that kept perfect time--so long as I never touched it or came near it. My Grandpa left me his Timex self-winding watch that had served him faithfully for years. It stopped working less than 3 months after I started wearing it. A few years back, my kids gave me pocket watch. The 5-year battery lasted me all of 6mo before the watch completely stopped working. When I got my EMT-B, my wife bought me Timex that lost 8min/day when I wore it, but kept perfect time when I didn't come near it.

To date, the G-Shock is the *only* watch that has lasted me more than 2 years. (currently 7 years). It has survived shooting and HTH classes, diving, and it has been covered in blood and puke. It has been in a patient's chest, in open wounds, and has survived everyday use when I was working on an ambulance.

After 7 years, my first G Shock started operating erratically. I sent it back to Casio, and for $30 they sent me a brand new one.

G Shock, or any other Casio's that will have military time capability.
Ive worn the same watch for the last 10 years and its still going strong.
