I am looking for a dress watch but I’m finding it almost impossible to find what I need. So I though I’d appeal to the wonderful people at SD. I’m looking for something that’s a dress watch but is still digital and has a timer, like a lot of sports watches do. It would also be nice if it gave the date and day of the week. I work in schools so I need something where I can easily give a countdown (“One minute to pick up to toys! Lets see if we can do it!”). Or where I can time how fast kids can do something. But it still needs to be professional. I am having a lot of trouble finding one, much less one in my price range of under $25. Why on Earth don’t they make these? Thanks! ---

Also, I’m not very good at quickly assessing analog time, that’s why it needs to be digital. Thanks! ---

Any idea of how durable they are? It seems Casio makes a lot of them. What’s that brand known for?
