Re: SUPER CHEAP AFFORDABLE WATCHES! - THE $20 OR LESS THREAD
Interesting little LED novelty watch for $11.99 with free Prime shipping & free returns. Nine different strap colors to choose from.
It’s probably available on AliExpress for like $3 so maybe check there too if you can handle the long shipping times.

Cross-posting this from the deals thread. Sure wish I knew how to find all those single digit deals like Yinz but this will have to do for now

Get a two watch set (analog + digital) for $8, a few colorways available, sold by Walmart. h/t Slickdeals here. The brand is George, which I believe is a Walmart house label.

Re: SUPER CHEAP AFFORDABLE WATCHES! - THE $20 OR LESS THREAD
Edit: Well that's frustrating.....Sold out already. I'm keeping the post up in case they add stock or drop prices on one of the other colorways, as they have in the past.
I'm breaking the rules here........with a recommendation that comes in just above the $20 mark (but I think is in line with the spirit of the thread). Fossil is currently having a further sale on some of their sale items with the code SUMMER40. It includes this 42mm dark navy dial Fossil Forrester Three-Hand Luggage Leather Watch (Reference FS5611). I think it's rather handsome and pilot-y.......and a pretty good deal at $20.79 with the code. 2% CB is available through TCB. Shipping is free and so is an engraving on the caseback. So all together a fair bargain, even if over 20 bills. True story: Many months ago, the white dial version of this was on sale. When it finally dropped to $17, I decided to order one. I got home from work and sat at my computer thinking of what to get engraved on the back of the watch (for free!). Well apparently I thought about it for a minute too long. Because when I woke up and wiped the slobber from my face, the watch was already sold out. Kids, don't be a yinzburgher; order yours today. Click the pic below.

This 35mm Casio is $6 + tax incl. free shipping from a 3rd party (with less-than-ideal ratings). I walked through checkout and it shows a possible two-week wait time for delivery (with the free shipping option).

Re: SUPER CHEAP AFFORDABLE WATCHES! - THE $20 OR LESS THREAD
Sweet deal. I ordered one for myself (or maybe it'll be for my wife, or my boy). Enhancing the cool factor of this watch: it's near identical to the watch worn by Pope Francis, who wears a slightly different version that has smaller Arabics. Fun purchase!BostonCharlie wrote:This 35mm Casio is $6 + tax incl. free shipping from a 3rd party (with less-than-ideal ratings).

Re: SUPER CHEAP AFFORDABLE WATCHES! - THE $20 OR LESS THREAD
I originally thought all of these Casios like the MQ24 were about 35mm like the one the Pope wears. But I few months ago I noticed that some of the ones I was seeing on Amazon were 42mm. Like this MW240-7BV which also has a slightly different handset and is pictured below. I think if there was a Goldilocks version of about 39mm I would probably own one already. Skmei (I like saying this word) makes some rip-offs/homages of these Casios. On Amazon they actually cost more than the OG Casio. The model number for the 35mm is 1419. Also pictured below. The third picture is a few colorways of the Skmei 1449, which is actually a 39mm homage these cheap plastic Casios. So that Skmei should be my Huckleberry but I guess I just have a tough time with the idea of buying a homage to a Casio that costs less than $20.ohhenry1 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 9:22 pmSweet deal.

Modest discount. Looks like Amazon is price matching Target, bringing this to $14.88, second-lowest price per the Camels:

Re: SUPER CHEAP AFFORDABLE WATCHES! - THE $20 OR LESS THREAD
Piggybacking off BostonCharlie's post above...
This seems like a lot of old-school digital geekism for $16 (Amazon market seller). 45mm case, 200m WR, 10-year battery, mineral crystal. All the necessary digital functions plus some gratuitous graphical doo-dads. Hard to ask more at this price. If it lasts a decade it could be money well spent.
I normally shy away from negative LCD displays as they can be hard to read, but haven’t seen one of these in person. (Amazon also sells a similar AE-2100W with positive display for a few bucks more if you'd rather play it safe.)
