I had a Timex Expedition for 17 years, I only got rid of it because I used it as my work watch and the face became so scratched up that I couldn't read the time easily anymore. Even then it kept perfect time. Not a show piece but I don't know of too many cheap watches that last that long while taking lots of abuse.
I currently have a solar powered Casio Edifice that I really loved the look of but I've only had it for a little while now so I can't say how long it will last. It does keep perfect time however. My other watch is a Mickey Mouse watch that I just got at Disneyland. $17 when you bought over $35 of other stuff in the store. The watch for that price didn't have Mickey's hands telling the time but the lady at the counter let me pick out any Mickey watch I wanted for the same price, so I got the good old original!
