When it comes to watch brands, Casio one of the most ubiquitous names, along with Fossil and Rolex. Unlike these brands, however, you won’t need to blow a hole in your credit score to get one. The Casio MDV106 Series is a classic for a reason: It’s reliable, attractive, and a reasonable price point.

  • Weight: 1.9 ounces
  • Materials: stainless steel with a resin band
  • Water Resistant Depth: 660 feet

Its light resin strap stays cozy on your wrist and won’t weigh you down. It’s water-resistant up to 600 feet, so you can keep it on when you’re showering in the morning or taking a quick dip in the pool. The luminous hour and minute hands ensure you can always tell the time in low light without squinting. There’s even a handy date display at 3 o’clock. Best of all, because it has a three-year battery, it’s a real “set it, and forget it” accessory.

This Casio style has tens of thousands of perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers who call it an “outstanding value dive watch” and “excellent and durable.” Another shopper loves the Casio so much, they’re thinking of ditching their other watches. “I might just hang up my Tag Heuer and Victorinox watches until this thing lets me down, which may be a while,” the person wrote. “Very easy to read at a glance which is why I got it. Not too heavy, really shiny. Big and fat. Classic good looks.”

And, after having this Casio for almost 10 years, the same customer updated the original review to say: “OMG, will this thing finally just die???!! No, just keeps time to the second, looking fresh as the day I bought it. I’m getting tired of seeing the same glorious glistening crystal smirking at my doubt and disbelief. I way underpaid, it way over performs. Crap, I’m such a fickle and unappreciative 1st world funk- monkey.”

There are six different colors available for under $50 right now, but we’re not sure how long this deal will last. Its discounted price means you can pick one up for yourself and keep one on hand for when a gift-giving emergency strikes. See all under-$50 sale colors on Amazon and grab one while you can.
