Casio MDV106 Duro Dive Watch

The Duro has a reputation out of all proportion to its price — thirty thousand ratings at 4.7, and watch forums that argue about everything agree on this one. It is a genuine 200m diver with a unidirectional bezel for about a tenth of what that normally costs, and on the wrist it reads far more expensive than it is. Quartz, so it keeps better time than mechanical watches costing twenty times more. The supplied rubber strap is the weak point and most owners swap it within a month — budget another twenty dollars for that. Buy it for someone who has never worn a watch.
