I start pimpin' with my Rolex but only at the track (not roads).

Just a Timex Ironman digital watch. It tells time, has a stopwatch, and never runs out of battery. No GPS because a good watch is expensive and I already spend enough on shoes. Works fine for me.
Another vote for the Timex Ironman
I had the 50 or 100 lap version in college. I have the 30 lap version now, 100 lap function would be handy for some longer workouts (for example 20 x 400m with 200m jogging rest). I didn't know how good I had it back then.

I wear the Tantabhumipati watch that is an ancient Hindu Vedic device to measure time and space using quantum technology.
Timex Ironman.

The same one I wear when I'm not running, a Casio that I got for about $25 about eight years ago.
I think Casio is a good choice. They're very sturdy and the Casios I looked at I liked as they didn't have excess features.
Timex Expedition. Comes with a velcro wristband which lasts a lot longer than the plastic ones.
I run with a Garmin 945. Been with it since it came out in 2019. It pairs great with Training Peaks' structured programs, holds gobs of music, great battery life and will collect and report all running, swimming and biking data you'll ever use. Hasn't failed me in the 4 years I've had it. Every mile during a marathon I have it interrupt my music to voice to me my Current HR and Average Pace (my primary indicators of how I'm progressing).
I am sporting a $8 no name watch from Walmart. Has all I need. When it dies in a couple of years I will get a new one.
Yellow gold Rolex President on the left wrist, and platinum Rolex Daytona on the right.
Both clones, under $200 each.
Because in the sprint world, one Rolex just isn’t enough. I might get a Ferrari kit car to roll up in, while wearing my Chinese On clones. EVERYTHING about contemporary sprinting is fake anyway, so what the hell.
Garmin Marq captain 2. Great watch.

No watch. Excited to try my first GPS watch — a Suunto Vertical when/if it arrives!
Polar Vantage V3
Garmin Instinct 2x
Use it for running and mountain biking.
Original Casio G-Shock.

So you are into bling, I take it.

Do you wear two so that the training effect is equal?
Yeah, you don’t want to be unbalanced.
In reality, of course I wear no watch while running or working out. Too much drag😁
Timex Ironman T5K726 Tapscreen HRM. This watch was released around 2012, but you can still find them occasionally.
I look at the time on a walk clock in the house, run out the door and check the time when I come back in.
