Bought both last year, and they both make great holiday watches.
Get a spare webbing strap - and hand wash them on rotation.
I'm heading to Cape Verde in February, and didn't fancy taking my Speedmaster or Mk XVI, so I looked around for a holiday watch. I did purchase a Dievas Vortex, but it didn't fit well so I moved it on.
"Digital" I thought. I do have a Waveceptor which I've had for several years, but as I will inevitably be swimming and diving, and I've changed the battery on it, I thought that grabbing a new digital may be the best idea.
Requirements...
Easy to read
Backlight
Comfortable
Enough functions for any situation
Not likely to get mugged for
Behold, the Timex Expedition Grid Shock. A whopping 50mm across, huge display that I can read without glasses, superb indiglo, and since setting it, it has a -/+0 seconds performance. It's big though. Very big. Pictured next to my Speedmaster for comparison...
You know what though, I absolutely love it. I'd forgotten how brilliant a cheap, digital watch is.

I have a Yellow one of those Timex things, universally despised by all my mates who have seen it but, that is no criticism, so , get in.
Yep, got to love inexpensive travel watches

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
That Timex does look very interesting.
However, as a holiday watch, I think you may have an issue with tan lines.
My holiday watch was always a Pelagos. However, since last year it’s been superseded by. Breitling Endurance Pro. Both great travelling companions.
