Holiday watch suggestions,£50 limit,give me some ideas

[thorpey69]

I've often bought myself a holiday watch at the airport or prior to travelling when I go away,the last one I bought was a clear plastic LV type submariner watch which was light and cheery and quartz,unfortunately the bracelet pin broke so I need a replacement.
To make the search a bit more interesting I've set a budget of £50,so if it gets damaged lost or stolen it's not a dramatic loss,the only stipulation is reasonably robust and have a degree of water resistance,as I will wear it to the beach and fishing etc.
So there's the criteria what do you suggest?,pics or links a must please.

This perfect beater, reasonable lume and quartz accuracy.Resistant to 100m.

Vostok Amphibia - automatic, date, screwdown crown, rated at 200m, lots of dial designs to choose from - surfer dude, KGB, Steve Zissou, less than 50 nicker.

Perhaps something digital....



Timex Expedition, best digital display (the pic shows normal display, it is not even lit yet), 100m, bombproof like a G-Shock but with normal lugs so a nato will fit as wel

Some good suggestions so far,haven't had a Vostok for years,can't remember if they have good lume?,should've said I would like good lume as my bedroom is very dark

And at that price...What is there to lose

The lume on Vostoks is generally pretty crap. I'd still buy one though :D

Another Accurist for £30 on the Argos Clearance site. I believe these were originally selling at £80.

Edit: Yes, here's the same watch on Amazon at twice the price (and said to be reduced from £175!)
