If you want automatic you can't go wrong with Seiko low end such as Seiko 5 series. Some even rated for diving.

If you value accuracy as in quartz, can't go wrong with g shock. Basically known for it's toughness.

Agreed: If you want a "real" watch (one that works mechanically, without a battery, etc.) you really can't beat the Seiko 5. I prefer the SNK805 color.

Costs about $100 on Amazon.
