The only watch I've worn since 1969 is the Rolex gold and stainless Datejust I bought in the Navy Exchange at Subic Bay that year for $270. It's taken an awful beating over the years but keeps on ticking. Not needing batteries, it's saved me a bundle.

Anything under $30. An alarm is handy for hunting season. Illuminated dial optional.
Water "proof" and shock resistance mandatory. With my hi freq hearing loss (canon cocker) I have never heard a watch alarm. I'm sure many shooters have the same problem. I use a Citizen Eco Drive Ti. g

I have a Casio with a vibrating alarm that I got a Walmart for about $40. Works great. I prefer the Tissot T-Touch for everything, but it's a lot more expensive.

I wear the titanium Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk, though I've been wanting a good outdoor watch as - while I love my Skyhawk - I just fear losing or damaging it in the wilderness. It's also useless at night in all but June through August as it takes a lot of direct sun exposure to luminesce. A cheap Indiglo watch or a tritium watch if I ever have more dollars than sense, has been appealing to me more. I do love the eco-drive concept though. Not ever having to wind or replace batteries has been beautiful. As you can see, the Skyhawk also has way more function than I could ever need in the wild.

Luminox are great in my book, had a steel dressy one for years. In the mountians, diving, daily wear. Replaced it finally with a titanium diver model, lighter, and no buttons to press. Like to hang from the tent above my face, can see the time in pitch black without moving.

cheapest LCD watch wally world has. Easy to replace. They all have alarms and a light display button. Probably around 15-20 bucks by now.
