I've had the same Timex Expedition on my wrist for 15 years now; one of the old analog/digital combo ones. (I prefer an analog clock, but the digital features (timers, lap counters, etc) are useful.)
It's survived immersion in industrial solvent, a 40 ft drop, two electrocutions, and a car accident that very nearly killed me. It's been used as a playtoy for countless sticky-fingered infants, a makeshift bra strap, and, on one memorable misadventure, as a fishing lure. It's been to numerous BC mountaintops, and two glaciers. It spent a night submerged in a lake on a particularly disastrous kayak trip.
The compass ring no longer spins, and the digital bit needs occasional resetting these days, but I'd say I got my $80 worth.
