Wrist watches?

[Steeliedrew]

Anybody wear a watch in the back country? If so what kind and what do you like about it? I was thinking about getting something like a G-shock or something rugged like that. Definitely has to have an alarm clock. My rino 650 has an alarm but a backup would be nice.

I just have a cheap timex expedition. Since I only wear it while hunting I don't need anything fancy. It gets wet and beat up and keeps on trucking. First one I had lasted 3 almost 4 years before the battery died and I replaced it with the same exact one.

I wear a Suunto and a G-Shock. I wear the G-Shock with the altimeter and it's more accurate and stable than my Suunto, so I wear it most of time. You can find them for $100, and has like 6 alarms on it.

G-Shock. I broke two expeditions at work, however the G-Shock is still kickin a.

I have the suunto and a G-Shock as well I use the Suunto for training because it has the heart rate monitor and the G-Shock for hunting. My buddy who happens to be a Army Ranger told me about the G-Shock he says it the only watch his unit will use

Casio Pathfinder 2000T. Worn daily for 4 years now and it has never missed a beat. It looks great and has all the bells and whistles a person would ever need. My favorite feature is the auto illumination, that occurs when you turn/flick your the wrist when it's dark, and the face lights up. The atomic time updating that occurs six times a day and solar battery means that I have never had to reset the watch, or touch the battery since the day I bought it. Including the daylight savings BS. Recommend it to anyone looking for a nice outdoor/dress watch.

This makes the G-shock rather appealing. If those guys trust them I can for sure trust them.

I buy a cheap watch that has indiglo light. I cut the band off and off we go. I don't wear a watch daily, so this is the only use for these cheap watches i buy.

I just bought this watch as backcountry.com had them 20% off. Should work for an outdoor watch.

Which G-shock are you guys using? I was less than impressed with my Suunto for the price.
