Looking for an inexpensive watch to use while kiting. Mostly to time my sessions.
Any cheap plastic digital watch is fine by me as long as it withstands the beatings from this sport (incl. sand, salt water, etc)
What do you guys use?

Basic Casio, from £10-£30 range here in UK.
I found one buried in sand once, lasted for years ended up losing it so probably still going.
I did wear my Tag Aquaracer once -strap came undone and it was loose on my wrist, only reason it didn't fall off was because I had hold of bar, proper panic!!

A cheaper alternative might be the new Yacht master displayed at Basel World 2015
Up your game FFS!!
lol - for girly colourful bling dont forget the Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch
But G-Shocks are v good.
Rip curls are also good, although tide functions are overly complex
