Watch or time piece?

[ontherocks83]

I wanted to throw this one out there and see what kind of watches people recommend or use when sailing. I have been trying to find a quality watch for a while that looks decent, is functional on a boat (i.e. maybe has but doesn't need to have but can also take the abuse of sailing, swimming, doing repairs on board, getting banged into things, being thrown across the room by my 2 year old etc.

I currently have a cheap $50 timex that I wear because it is low profile and I don't worry about damaging it. The problems are it scratches easy and if I am going somewhere nice/dressy it is definitely sub par.

So what kind of watch or "time piece" do you wear and why?
