BUDGET WATCHES
Most of us don’t have much cash to splash this time of year, so we thought we’d watch the pennies

CASIO MEN’S CASUAL SPORTS WATCH £17.49
www.amazon.co.uk n They say:“LED watch with many functions that include a second time zone, stopwatch, multi alarms, hourly time signal, snooze feature, long battery life, full auto calendar, resin band and water resistant. n We say: “Good value and the instructions are easy to follow. It’s suffiently waterproof for Triathlon use and has five alarms, a ten year battery life It’s a bit small and the light is quite poor as it’s a single LED rather than a full backlight, but overall for the money it’s hard to beat.” Jon Little, London
BREO ESTRELLA WATCH £24.99
www.breo.com n They say: A vibrant, trendy and fresh addition to the analogue range. Boasting minimal detail; the bold and vivid colours (7 to choose from) ensure maximum visual impact as expected from a breo® watch. Waterproof, bold, simple and eyecatching. n We say:“I love this watch! The price is great and it looks fantastic. It’s very chunky and makes a statement. More for style than running. The watch is very simple and very on trend. And there’s a choice of lovely bright colours or black to choose from” Pauline Watts, Brede
“ Runners like to check their times, even those of you that take over an hour to run a 5K to those that hope for a sub 20 minute 5K or those, like Ethiopian distance runner, Kenenisa Bekele who posted a 5K time of 12:37.35!”
