Was looking for recommendations on a good watch from swimming in. Mostly it will be for open water, but I may use it for pool workouts too. The biggest function would be just a stopwatch which most all have, but it would be nice for a countdown function (to signal every 10, 20 minutes, etc for OW training). A HR function would be nice too but I know then it gets to be a bit pricey. I would like to put a $150 cap on it and see what you all come up with.
I'm a bit of a watch collector (have bought and sold dozens) so I'm familiar with many of them. Try to stay away from large, bulky watches like "some" of the G-Shocks, etc.
Post pics and/or links as well if you have them handy!

Timex Ironman is the best.
Agree.
My first Timex lasted about 10 years(after that the strap accidentally broke but the watch still works), the second lasted 2 months(and then I forgot it in the shower of the pool) and now I have my third Timex.
