Really need to get a watch for in the water ect can People chuck up some recommendations
Ideally want to spend as little as possible, but willing to fork out if it's warranted, but fell like a simple time will do until I get my depth up, max is about 10m ATM with very little bottom time maybe 10-30sec at most depending on what stage of the dive I'm at and how tied/hard I've been working, will hopefully be doing a level one apenea course soon so should hopefully inprove things alot
Cheers in advance

Aeris F10 or the Suunto one.

Search Google mate there are plenty of reviews on both and heaps of reviews comparing the two.

I have the F10 and love it. Frogdive had the cheapest price when i got mine.

Aeris F10 would be my pick. Keen to get myself one at some stage.

As random has said, Frogdive have them at a good price. http://frogdive.cart.net.au/store/watches-oceanic-oc1-atom-geo-aeris-f10-suunto-d4-d6-d9/

The F10 is a dedicated freedive watch, not just a watch with a freedive 'mode'. And the battery can be replaced by the user, no need to take it into the shop and get stung for $$$

if your just after something to tell the time then no need for expensive watches. i just got a cheapie ($20) rated to 30mts i think and i have just attached it to the bottom of my float perminantly. im sure you could get even cheaper things that are designed for swimming if you put it on your float as depth isnt an issue then

Yeh the f10 was the one I was keen, on just not sure if I really want to fork out for it yet. I fell like it could be better invested at moment mainly a dive course or maybe a gopro.
think I might go with the cheapie cheap as Andrew and twitch suggested for now

Cheap and nasty but for $9 AUD w/ free delivery, 30m waterproof and tells the time, I'm happy.
