I was hoping for Keanu Reeves' square Casio G-Shock DW-5600C-1V from Speed. Seems exactly like what a young LAPD officer might have been wearing in 1994. (Or, frankly, today.)

I loved the discussion of appropriate watches that add to our understanding of the character -- Borne, Kurtz, Willard, etc. Great ep!
