Thanks [mention]pgcity[/mention] I was able to nab one. I have a tough time resisting any new Timex or Casio under $10 if there is even a decent chance I might like it. Speaking of such things, my $7 Amazon Warehouse purchase came in. Timex Expedition T46681 / T466819J. I'm really pleased with this one. I wish the seconds hand was black instead of white. And I wish the bezel wasn't fixed. But it's great otherwise. I like the dial and the 40mm size. The strap is a little better than I thought too. Plus Indiglo. 8-)

Part of the reason I love cheapies like this is bc I never have to think about selling it. It only cost $7. And I'm not going to get a lot of money for it if I sell anyway. So there is no need to try to get rid of it so I can "make room for another piece" or "free up some funds." I don't have to keep it nice for its next owner so I'm free to beat it up how I see fit. If I ruin it....whatever, it was $7. No need to keep a box or paperwork that add to clutter. Zero cognitive or emotional overhead used up thinking I'll eventually have to worry about photographing, listing, payment, packing, shipping, messaging, etc. I can just keep it, wear it, enjoy it.

[mention]yinzburgher[/mention] Heck, for $7 you might as well pop the caseback off, pill the movement and take a black marker to that seconds hand.

YMMV but Amazon offered me a $2 digital credit if I chose no-rush shipping. $1 watch!
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Same for me now. We'll see if my order gets cancelled. I ended up getting two so my son and I could have matching watches.

I had a nice little discussion with them including screenshots showing the advertised price, and they absolutely refuse to honor it.

Oh well!

Awesome! Glad to hear it. I've got one on the way too. Still hard to believe these deals exist. I have no idea why Amazon lets these go for so little.
