How about an old-fashioned, wind-it-up-every-day watch?  Those are 
purely mechanical, no batteries or anything.  Nowadays they're hard to 
find (in the US anyway) but they used to be the cheap way to go.  And 
they'd probably conk underwater, especially if they claimed to be 
waterproof...

  "Ha, ha, ha," said Hermione sarcastically.  "Goblins don't need 
protection.  Haven't you been listening to what Professor Binns 
has been telling us about goblin rebellions?"
  "No," said Harry and Ron together.
