Citizen Eco Drive 200 m BM6400387 viewsIts easy too read at a glance, has fantastic lume, a reliable Eco-drive movement and can be purchased for less than US$150. I wear one at my job as a maintenance/caretaker and it has served me well.

Here in the US I've noticed that most ppl buy G-Shocks with MSRP under USD $100. All of the following are under USD $100.258 viewsSubmitted by Adam in NYC
I'll interpret what Adam did not explicitly say: these G-Shocks are so inexpensive that people use (or abuse) them and when they are broken, they will be replaced without tears being shed. I remember that during the Swatch high (mid 90ies) many Swiss service men would buy or use a Swatch with exactly that line of thought (Note Reto)

I see service men and women in G-Shocks mostly, but309 viewsI think they would be better served by the Luminox because it is analogue and has a functional elapsed time bezel. Personally I find digital watches too abstract. The mind always knows how to interpret hour and minute hands and a visual bezel when in a high stress mental fog. Plus you need to use both hands to control the functions of a digital watch and your other hand may be doing something it cannot be taken away from if you are a soldier, medic or fireman.
There are certain additional advantages to a multi-functional digital, but as a basic timepiece it can fail to deliver the pertinent information whereas an analogue watch such as the Luminox is ready at a glance.
So I vote for a high-contrast Luminox/Traser such as the white or yellow on black, with a black dial.

Luminox 3000 Series372 viewsI see this watch worn by police, fire, and ambulance crew quite often.
The case is very tough, molded of carbon-reinforced polymer. The watch has water resistance to 20 ATM.
The movement is battery operated Swiss quartz. Just a no-nonsense timepiece that tells the time of day.
In any lighting conditions.
