I am very hard on watches so I don't wear anything expensive because it will only get scratched and banged up. I like the inexpensive Timex digital watches myself. I also always buy a metal elastic band. Real leather is fine but the metal elastic bands are faster to put on. The metal bands that clasp on only causes my watch to fly off my wrist at the worst time. Oh and don't even get me started on plastic bands that make your arm sweat and break in a week.
