This was, by far the best cost/benefit watch that I found latelly:

Also, Swatch have some very nice ones, with a VERY good price.

For comparison: My first two watches lasted 2 years each and costed me ~$10 a pop plus they had a WR rating of 300m. Sadly they looked kinda juvenile and I needed something with a little more status, but I'm leaning on just going back because they really worked!
I personally never bath with a watch on and never go swimming with this particular watch (I have another one that I use mainly for outdoor activities. A Casio rated to 100 meters).
I really dig watches, and when you start to collect some of them you actually find it's quite fun to chose the right one for the right ocasion! :)
Simple, round, small.
With this round steel case, you could even exchange the wristband for a brown lethear one and get a more mature look (all this for only 30 bucks).
