I just won this 38mm Fossil Defender from circa 1995 on an auction for a mere $35. It came with a bit rusty folded steel bracelet. The watch head is in pretty good condition, scratches at around 6 and 8 but overall it’s great. I don’t know what quartz movement it has, but it runs dead on accurate 0spd for the first 24 hours. Very solidly built and spec’ed at 100m WR, although I’m not sure if it still has it now since it’s a 20 year old watch.

My Boldr Venture. 38mm titanium case, case back, sapphire crystal with inner coating, 100m water resistance, military green NATO strap with titanium fittings.
What a list of good things for a watch at a very decent price. The only minor downside is the lume, it could be brighter.
I wear mine every week or so and she hasn't +or- with the time at all. Maybe I just got a super one.
Here are some pics on NATO and a black Italian leather Bund.

Field watch and hand wind notably missing from my collection.

Its the Macys Bulova Hack from last year or the year before I forgot. I got it on sale for around 160 at the time. I dont know which movement it has got but its keeping time as good as my 262hz Bulovas do.Originally Posted by Wolfsatz
I almost got it... also on the same sale..... for some reason.... I did not pull the trigger... I think because I had recently got the Hammy Khaki King . which is now gone... never felt right. It is quite handsome! Great Buy !
tonight... modeling my ER Tactical ( Easy Reader on Bond Nato ) I misplaced this watch in a coat since last winter.. and it was very very missed... very happy that I found it...
Incredible that at $25 dollar watch brings out so much enjoyment to my wrist!ER Tactical by Wolfsatz, on Flickr

I've really changed my mind about field watches lately for some reason. I used to think they're boring but somehow I found myself growing to like them to the point where I developed this field watch itch. So I decided to scratch it with this Alba APBT205. 34.5mm titanium case and bracelet so it's super light, 20 bar water resistance, full lume dial and a domed crystal, can't recommend it enough.
