I had my birthday recently and since I haven't bought a watch in a while (by my standards) I decided to indulge in something cheap and fun. Picked up the Timex pilot-style chronograph, featured a few times on the main site, from my local Target store. I've always been a fan of Timex for cheap watches, but for ~$50 this watch is a particularly good value for the money - just super cool-looking and functional. This would make a great watch for travelers, since you can set the hour hand independent of the minute hand. I wasn't aesthetically sold on the white hands against the black and khaki dial, but in practice they make the watch very readable despite the busy dial design. It's also really easy to accurately read the chronograph. Seems like that's a rare thing to find in an inexpensive chronograph, where the chronograph minute hand usually moves incrementally in a too-small minute subdial.
The watch wears too chunky and oversized on my small wrist to be an everyday watch. But I like it as a fun casual beater. The black case, dark brown suede strap, and khaki accents go nicely with my fall/winter casual wardrobe. Here's a pic stolen from the interwebs:
