Budget Watch decent alarm volume?

beauf

I bought a casio as a everyday watch specifically to have an alarm, and countdown/timer. But its so quiet its defeats the purpose entirely. My Windows phone is useless as Windows Phone doesn't let timer apps run in the background properly.

So any suggestions for a budget watch €50 and under that has a decent alarm volume. Of course the other alternative is to get an Android phone. But I find it doesn't take much to muffle a phone speaker in your pocket either.

I prefer a watch with analogue hands but I'll consider anything.

for the price, you can't go wrong!

I saw that thread in bargain alerts. TBH I never really liked them even the 90's. But as you say you can't go wrong at that price.

I have one and it looks and feels like a toy watch tbh.
