I assumed a man of your years would have a sun dial in his pocket

Pocket? It wouldn't have been able to be accommodated in the loin cloth...

Iv got the G-Shock mud man and like it pretty well. Just a basic watch, time, date, alarms and stopwatch but does what I need. only problem with it is that it starts fogging up on the inside after a year. Was still within warranty last year and they replaced it for free but has started doing it again. The watch stays on my wrist 24/7 so might be different if take it off for showers ect not that you should have to.
The GPS watches from Garmin look the shit but are a bit bigger and have to charge them weekly.

I thought you had a selection available?

Phone is so much more useful.

Ha ha yeah could do, might be below sea level quite quickly though

Hmmm liking the idea of solar and some even have a battery indicator... guess it's a built in vitamin d detector!

Casino protech prg 250b seems to be ticking the boxes, doesn't look to big and chunky....

Temp, baro, alti, solar, Compass....

Remember to set a limit and stick to it.

another option to the g shock is the casio protrek models. I really like mine smaller than a g with bigger time display. comp/alt/temp etc. Like gibo says alt is shit unless reset often(i Gave up) comp works well. I am a casio dealer if you a price on a certain model. mine is prg300.

Except i dont like the black screen, looks cool but a bit harder to see and very reflective.

@lumberjack
I've got the 'simple' G-shock too.
Take it off for showers, swimming and bed - 2 years on, no problems.
Looking at my user guide - says it's pressure tested to 10M water depth - but also says 'Do not immerse in hot or warm water'.
Never tried to 'test' the depth guarantee though or the temperature.

Bought a cheap g shock in a rebel sale about 10 years ago... Just because my Seiko died... Thought I'd get a year out of it... Bloody things still going!!! Dive,hunt, swim,shower, just keeps going...
