Favorite watch with seconds hand?

Hello folks!
 

I am curious as to what kind of timekeeping device you use that has a second hand?  I’m old fashioned and rocking a pocket watch but it’s getting in the way and looking for a scrub mounted or light wrist watch?  
 

Thanks in advance and don’t forget to be awesome!

I have a $29 Timex. I replaced the stock band with an expanding band so I can just slide it up my forearm when I need to scrub.

I have worn Timex watches for over 45 years. I started my RN career before clocks in rooms were common place. But I always depended on my watch. I remember when my watch battery gave out mid afternoon and I had to get to a jewelry store before closing to replace it. When I was teaching, students would say they didn't have a watch, there were clocks in every room. And of course away from the hospital they always could consult their phone.

I don't know that I have a favorite - I like one with a big face and clear numbers. I never pay more than $10.00 for a watch.

Is that expanding band something extra or the type of watch come with that band?

No, the watch came with a clumsy cloth band, the holes of which were either too tight or too loose. 
The expanding band, an add-on, is narrow silver-looking sections, ~$10 at Walmart.

I just get a men's watch with a metal band. I like it because I can spray it with Lysol.
