Casio W59

This is one of the classic Casio digital watches; originally released in 1981, this watch is still in production. A quite small sized timepieces which packs all the basic features, it has proven to be comfortable, lightweight and really resistant to abuses, although the dial might need to be somehow restored from time to time, as it's prone to scratches. The only downsides I've found in this watch are the lack of a countdown timer, a poor display illumination and the need for a more resistant strap. One of my preferred beaters anyway.
