Got DS a G Shock MS watch for Christmas, which he ok'd before I bought it (Plebes in his company only rate black watches and I didn't want to get anything that wasn't approved or would call attention to him). He got a "nice" watch - don't know the brand but it was a gift from his older cousin in the CG - as a gift before Plebe Summer, which broke during one of their training sessions. He said he needed a watch because Plebes are always checking the time and pulling out his iPhone is a hassle. Don't know if it's the best watch, but it was the right one for the money and "DS approved."
