Anyone have suggestions as to the best swimming watches? I don't want anything really complicated; don't need a digital, but I do want it well lit, and a good indiglo light for use at night. Also, prefer fabric band vs. rubber.

Timex makes a zillion variations of the Ironman series. I suggest going to a store and trying a few on. My Ironman has a 50 split memory (useful at meets), and a repeating interval timer, useful occasionally when I don't have a pace clock. It has one big button on top to start/stop the stopwatch. Only drawback is that occasionally I hit it when I streamline right hand over left.
I would not want a fabric band because I typically wear my watch after I'm out of the pool and I want it dry.
You can often find very good deals on Timex Ironman watches on ebay.
