I am looking for an inexpensive waterproof watch that has an easy to set
daily alarm. My needs are only for a swimming pool that is a few feet deep.
I would like to know of any particular models of Timex or Casio or something
like that.

Thank you.

My Aquatech from Walmart was less than $7, has an easy to set alarm, and has
been diver-verified as good to 165 feet - I've only had it down to a hundred
feet. It would certainly meet the needs of a swimming pool.

Go to ur nearest Walmart, and pick up one of the water resistant ones they
sell, i got a cheapie for about $15 canadian, and it is fine, just dont go
water skiing with them.

Speaking of Walmart, I bought an Armitron All-Sport for $14.99 from Walmart
a while back. It looks like a Timex Expedition or Casio G-Shock. Probably
not as durable but it's great for swimming so far.

Casio G shock is very good and inexpensive. I like the older model with plain digits
available in Target without the gimmicky new display.

I use the Timex Ironman Triathlon watch and it works great for swimming. I
got it at Walmart.
