Timex Ironman.
Casio whatever.

I also suggest analog instead of digital, and as few features as
possible. The intent is to see what time it is at a glance.

My experience when I got started was that within a year I bought a
dive computer (Suunto Mosquito) and the dive watch I bought sits
rusting in my drawer...

If you think you'll dive once a year or more you might want to look
into write mounted dive computers - you'll probably want one sooner
than later.

I have a self-winding Seiko dive watch. The instructions said not to
bang it against the rocks. (Yes, they actually said that.) Other than
that, it seems pretty indestructible. I put it on my harness as a
backup timer when I dive with one computer and when doing deco (it's
faster for me to see the dive at a glance with an analog dial).
