Since we're doing digital watches lately...

This Casio A159 is by far the cheapest of my (mostly mechanical watches) collection, both in construction and in price. It's plastic, has a folded links bracelet, has a digital movement unchanged since the late 80s but somehow, it brings me a lot of joy these days. Maybe it's the no-nonsense functionality. Maybe it's the beloved childhood aesthetics. I love it.

Absolutely love how much of this watch face is allocated to… telling you that it lights up. That must have been a really big deal, once upon a time. How charming!
