Ashford [ashford.com] has a Timex quartz chronograph rated to 100 meters of water resistance for $25. Use coupon code "HOT5" when checking out to drop the price to $24 and get free shipping.
Another option is to buy from the Ashford eBay store watchgooroo,
where the watch is $25 with free shipping [ebay.com].
Seems like a good deal for a beater chronograph with solid water resistance. The strap will obviously turn many off, but that is easy to change. The watch itself is fairly good-looking, IMO.

Anyway, my meaningless opinion is that Timex has been totally kicking butt for the last few years. I have a few of these Timex chronos (different colors/styles) and they're pretty nice!

But this is how it's supposed to work. There's a little seconds hand at the bottom of the watch, above the 6. That ticks constantly, like the seconds on a normal watch. The big "seconds" is for the chronometer -- this is for when you're actually using it like a stopwatch.
That may sound odd but that's how chronographs traditionally work. It's not a quirk of Timex or this particular model.

Timex's standard quartz three handers, on the other hand, have a reputation for being very loud.
