I have this Casio dive watch, $90 at Wal-Mart:

http://www.casio.com/index.cfm?fusea...direct&id=6055

It's big diameter-wise (just large enough to make people think you're
compensating for a small penis) but not bulky, and has a couple features
useful for flying; a small secondary digital display with day/date, alarm,
and dual-time in 12/24 format for zulu time, and around the bezel is a
compass rose in 10 degree increments, useful for figuring runway or radial
reciprocals or just remembering your assigned heading! :-)

Check out ebay. There are a few watch businesses that sell very reasonably.
I got my brand-new navihawk for $75, and I've had it for a year or so now,,,
works fine.
