I keep tooting pictures and articles about really expensive watches, let's take this back to basics
This is the Casio MQ24-7BLL
It costs less than even the venerable F91-W, it's made of plastic and shows the hour, minute, and second only
Despite that, it's fucking brilliant
For less than the price of a cup of coffee you get a highly legible, accurate enough, reliable watch
And if you want celebrity endorsements, the fucking Pope wears one
ooooooh, this is cool, the Krayon Everywhere
The first watch which can show sunrise and sunset times anywhere in the world

It's very cool, and surprisingly only 42mm
Well this is a missed opportunity, if the accent colour was gold instead of black it could have been the Iron Man watch

Coolest thing at Baselworld this year, the Urwerk AMC
It's a mechanical watch that is set, regulated, and wound by an actual honest to god atomic clock
It is hella cool
New G-Shock Rangeman
GPS with MUTHAFUKIN SOLAR ASSISTED CHARGING
The solar charging doesn't keep up with the power drain of the GPS, but it'll let you use the that bit for an hour after 4 hours of charging in 50,000 lux (50% direct sunlight)
The solar does however keep all other functions running including the altimeter, barometer, and compass
