I wear a $20 Timex Expedition. Mine has multiple time zones, which is nice for tracking my Dad's travels (although f***king India has to use a half-hour, which isn't supported). It has a countdown timer, which is nice for cooking and such. I use it frequently when baking or broiling, since it means I can be out of earshot of the stove's timer. It has a stopwatch, which is mostly nice for playing with kids. For some reason, kids love to be timed. It has an alarm. I use this from time to time for reminding myself of unusual events. then I forget to turn it off. It also has date, time, and day of week. Surprisingly, I use day of week a lot. I'm forgetful like that.
