We're all aware of the awesome AE1200 aka the Casio Royale but I'd like to see some appreciation for the WV58.
This watch can be had new for around £30 and for that money you get an awful lot,
Radio controlled time
World time
Countdown timer
Alarm
Stop watch
It's a very comfortable and accurate watch and can be had on strap or bracelet, I have both, it's WR to 50m which is plenty for most people and it's super legible and has time displayed in all modes, which is useful, the main time screen also has full date and day of week, the light is bright blue and has a 3 second delay.
I've found the Wave Ceptor updates at around 1am every day without fail and it's always good to know you're on time.
This watch is the one Liam Neeson wore in Non Stop and it played quite a central role as he needed to keep timing 20 minutes, hence I've christened mine the "Non Stop Casio"
Anyway, enough waffle, pictures

And finally, here's Mr Neeson's from Non Stop

So, if you've got one of these hidden gems, let's see it and if not, then I urge you to put one on your list, it's definitely worth more than it's price and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
