+1 on the Timex Ironman. I had one as my everyday, everything watch from fifth grade until it died two years ago. I never went swimming with it, but I wore it in the shower once by accident and it was fine.

I have a Timex Ironman Sleek 50 lap watch that I've been using for almost 4 year; it went more than 2 years before it even needed a battery change. It does everything I need from a basic chronograph watch.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I also wear a Timex Ironman watch during workouts. They go on sale at Fred Meyer pretty regularly. I picked one up there this summer for about $24. Who can argue with solid, reliable, and inexpensive?

I used to love them - but the case on my last Timex Ironman totally disintegrated on me (before the battery even wore out - maybe 2 years?). I have a Freestyle Shark now - so far, so good.
