Right now Sears has a very good sale on these and you might be able to pick one up locally. All the internet sellers, even Casio itself, are sold out of it for now. Try coupon code "4MOM" and code "OFFERS" to save you $35 on the GW-2500. Even the price beats most of the internet outlets.
Here is the link I found. I hope it works for you.

No there is one more really CHEAP travel watch. It is the Casio AW-80. I got that one for $13. Needed something extra to get free shipping. So if you subtract the money I saved it was $8.

Here is the Casio link:

What is super cool about this watch is that you can set the hands independently from the LCD. So you can set the hands to whatever crazy time zone you want, even a 43 minute off-set if you wish. Usually you would set the hands so that they are co-ordinated with the LCD display. This would give you a single time zone with read-outs in both digital and analog. But here you can split them up and get two time zones. Nice!

In addition, you do get a WT feature where you can scroll through pre-set cities. These time zones can be shown in the LCD display while the time zone you set for your hands always stays visible. This means you even get three zones just not more than two at a glance.

The steel versions look outright elegant. Mine is the brown velcro strap version. It has a Timberland design to it. Works for me in certain situations. I may use it as a back-up watch in the car. Sometimes I'm such a goofball that I forget to put on a watch or even take my cell phone when I leave the house. This way I'd at least have a watch in the car. I also have an extra pair of glasses and sunglasses in the car for that reason.

Thanks so much!
Yes, Sears seems to be the best price. And the 4MOM code brings it down even more. Shipping is free.

OT - I have never purchased anything from Sears in my whole life!!
Perhaps i might get a watch. Who knows....
