Hey [mention]ManOnTime[/mention]. Not to create more work for you, but I think the deals posted in this thread should count toward the stats. Some of the best deals are in this thread!
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Or these deals should be crossposted in the main deals thread.

That's another thought.

Browsing the Armitron site thanks to Cortman's Griffy review, I spotted this:

https://www.armitron.com/collections/me ... r-35-green


Specs are hard to come by, but it's for sure 100m WR. And with code "thanks" it's $10. Only down side is you have to spend $50 to get free shipping. Otherwise it is a reasonable $5.

I like both of those watches above. JC Penny lists some specs for the Armitron HERE. The case is plastic but I think it looks really cool, with the sharp edges like a MM300. I've previously seen a blue one on Amazon but not currently.

I own a couple of the Ironman Shock Endure models like the one above. They are not entirely perfect but they are definitely a no-brainer purchase belown $20. Crazy that they are occasionally below $10.

Another Timex that has been dropping in price over the course of months is pretty much every single model of the whole MK1 line....across multiple retailers. And now it's finally below $20. You can use code ASHTI18 to get model TW2T10300 below for $17.99 plus free shipping from Ashford. Really good-looking field watches. 40mm case. 47mm lug to lug. 20mm lug width. This one is aluminum, so lightweight but probably loud ticking. And Indiglo, which I really love for night-time driving. If you don't own a single field watch and 40mm is a good size for you, I think maybe you should just buy this. The price is right.

I'd resisted these quartz Timex MK1s for so long, but finally caved at $18.

Note that there's a second colorway available at this price, using the same coupon: https://www.ashford.com/timex/tw2t10200.htmlImage

This one is listed as being stainless steel, vs. the aluminum of the original that Yinz posted. More interesting colorway, for those of us who already have watches out the ears.

I ordered the aluminum one. Thanks, yinzburgher, for sharing!
