Lil bit above ($295), but a Momentum Sea Quartz 30
is a nice, solid, fun option.
SWC ARK
My beater is solar.
Either my Data Bank or my W-217H
My best beater is under £50. Casio Edifice.
Could practically sort casio's catalog by <$250, close your eyes, and pick something.
I guess I am in upside down world. I have two mechanical watches for the rare occasion that I feel like setting a watch to wear for the day. Virtually my whole collection are "quartz beaters"😀
This are my to go quartz under 250:
Any G-Shock
For 2023 it was my G9000 mudman... This year I have yet to pick a new one as my cousin wanted the G-Shock for his dirt biking so I gave it to him.
I know this is over $250 new,
but on eBay I got it for £180
Any uncoated digital Casio on a strap.
My Victorinox field with a resin case. I don't recall model - gift from wife several years ago.
F91w
The Duro…..£55
But...every watch I own is under $100
Mine is a Swiss Army Original from the 1990s. Under $50 on eBay last I checked.

Thats good. It means you have more money for things that really matter!
There are two quartz beaters that are my go-to watches: The Citizen Garrison BM08180-03E and the Casio Lineage LCW-M300D-1AJF. Both are inexpensive, solar, and have proven to be very reliable.
Looks really good on all, especially the brown leather, although I don't get the two horizontal stitches the strap manufacturers always like to place on both ends (picky picky).

She's a keeper (either one/both).

Both are definitely keepers!

Thanks! Couldn't agree with you more. There are various stitching styles, and that's just one of them. It's a more popular choice among buyers I guess, and may be easier to stitch.
Seiko Flightmaster all the way
