Sekonda or Casio Chronograph (eh?): reliable? These type of watches have alarms?

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about the watches, below, and this type of watch, in general? Do these have alarms, as I can't find any mention of it, either at Amazon or on the Sekonda site:

1. Sekonda 3834.27 Gents Chronograph Bracelet watch
2. Sekonda 3922 100m Chronograph Bracelet
3. Sekonda 3765 50m Chronograph Titanium

What does "chronograph" refer to? Is it something to do with a stopwatch function?

Also, does this type of watch usually have a basic alarm function or only the analogue/digital combi ones, like this (if this one has an alarm, that is):

Casio AQ-164WD-1AVES Mens Bracelet Combi

I need a couple of these type (less than £50 each), each with an alarm and from a reliable make - not a rebrand, such as Umbro, etc. I don't need them for Christmas, though, thankfully.

Anyone have any wise advice?

Thanks.
