Didn't even spend the extra $12 to upgrade from plastic to silver plastic
Your cheapest bet is probably either the Casio F91W or F105W-1A. The F91W is a classic retro, but the backlight is just a single small LED which isn't great illumination. The F105W-A1 has a full on backlight for better night time legibility. Depending on how much functionality you need there's also what people refer to as the "Casio Royale", and if you need something super rugged but affordable there's of course the DW5600 G-Shock. All of those have an hourly beep/alarm that you can toggle on/off.
SAK Recruit 14.95
Casio World Time 14.95
Fenix e01 10.00
Recycled Firefighter Wallet 39.00 (49 + 30 = 79 total)
Rhodai Dot Pad 5.26
Pilot Metropolitan 11.00
Should come out to about $95.
Casio is the way to go, here. Casio Royale Cheap, but good quality with enough bells and whistles to keep a 9 year old satisfied. Plus it's 100m water resistant, which means it's safe for pool or shower.
But just about any Casio would be good.
This is the best cheap beater I have found
Just slap an 18mm NATO band on it
Casio Duro, Casio DW5600, or Casio AE1200WH so you can see on the map your second time zone.
I just bought the Casio Royale for this same purpose. I figured I would hold off on the G-shock GA2100 because I wanted something cheaper and small on the wrist.

May not be indestructible but for less than $20 why not right?
You've got a ton of options to choose from. To make the most of your budget, Seiko, Orient, Citizen, and Tissot are some brands to look at. Since you don't like sport watches, if you're just looking for one watch I would recommend the Tissot Visodate which is most of your current budget. You could pair it with a cheap Casio digital for weekend/outdoors wear. But hopefully you'd be able to expand your collection in time.
If you wanted to split your collection a little more evenly financially, there are tons of fantastic options in the $200 range. For automatic dress watches, look at the Orient Bambino range, I would recommend one of their 2nd generation models. Pair that with a Citizen Nighthawk or a G-shock for example and you'd have a highly respectable and seriously versatile two watch collection for your budget.
That isn't to say this is a better option than the Tissot and Casio. There are just a ton of options in your range. Some great value in automatics, and some great tech in quartz if you're looking at the right stuff. Hope you find something that suits you!
This watch is a fun (for eight year olds), practical, and very affordable Christmas present. This costs more but looks pretty slick and is automatically set to atomic clocks via radio, which is pretty damn cool when you're eight.
This Leatherman is a little pricey for what it is but little boys love multi-tools, Leathermans are great multi-tools, and it comes with a pointless knife (as in, there's no sharp tip) that you install yourself, in case you don't trust your child with knives (I may or may not have a scar from using my Leatherman Micra in a really stupid way when I was 10) or your kid will definitely take it everywhere, including their school which has a zero-tolerance/thought policy on pointy objects. (If you have no problems with knives, the Squirt would be my first choice for a mini-multitool.)
This book is pricey for a single book but I had the old version as a kid and it's still one of my all time favorite books. Highly recommend, for a kid interested in technology.
Casio world time has a wonky little display that emulated an analog clock in the top right corner, and the stop watch function in the main display. This comes in handy when I'm teaching class and I'm timing short activities while also keeping track of the time. It's cheap ($20), durable, light weight, and has a 10 year battery life.
In the midst of my final year at university and thought I'd share my essentials. A lot of these pieces are essentials from this sub - which I give many thanks to!

can you not have a digital watch? casio makes a great one that can be set to any timezone, and can search them all too.
for digital, you can look at the Casio Royale (AE1200WH-1A resin strap, AE1200WHD-1A steel bracelet), which has world time and 100m water resistance. Or see which G-shock models have dual time, though the G-shocks might be going over your budget.
if you want to go analog, any dive watch can do a second time zone by using the rotating bezel. For example, if my local time is pacific daylight time, and I want to keep track of UTC, then line up the 12 on the rotating bezel with the 5 o'clock on the dial, and voila, the bezel reads UTC time. The Casio Duro is $46 on amazon, and has 200m water resistance

Not quite a G, but its my everyday. I wear it more than my 56xx. If i destroy it, which hasn’t happened yet (almost a year now), it’s only the cost of a couple beers at the bar..

Get one of these and leave it with a local who helped you out when you leave.
The Casio ae 1200 is quite similar if you don't want to pay that much: https://www.amazon.ca/Casio-AE1200WH-1A-Analog-Digital-Multi-Function/dp/B0094B79PA
