I want a Garmin Fenix 5, the business.
Casio F-91W.
Digital watch is what I go for at least for now.
- cheapish casio 100M model you can shower and swim with.
- don't set it to beep on the hour as not good for stalking.
- note digital displays no good with polarised sun glasses.
- my casio has borderline digit heights for my ageing vision, but I'm unkeen on going for a large block of wrist plastic looking like it came out of the Lego box. May return to the analogue display again for the last reason. Had a timex analogue watch with that blue illuminator face on it (beats luminescent hands) never let me down but the brass case started losing its chrome or whatever was on it so it went in the box.
- My problem with analogue watches is that many, even moderately expensive brands, have the second hand resting between the lines, really peeves me as I use it all the time for checking pulses. Digital second displays always stop right at the number...
New models are always pricey, it's why I went for the rangeman not the mudmaster
That is a terrorist watch, apparently. But probably one of the best watches ever made.

Always knew something was up @gimp.
Couple his watch choice with a shifty gaze and I think we are on to something 😆

Yes, I think we'd better put him on the watch list ... ... ...

Very interested to know how you rate this, R93. Comments?
I've been looking at these too but I was put off by the battery life. Wife told me to "get over it" and just accept that these kind of watches need to be recharged regularly - she has a rechargeable Garmin and finds it works ok for her, but I was worried that a week in the bush using the GPS functions might find you with a dead watch when you need it most.
$450 delivered is a very good price. Could you PM me the info on that please?
Cheers.

Very nice watch. Battery life is not an issue. They get 3 weeks to a month on theirs and use it for running and heaps of other things. It charges overnight as you would your phone. Wish I had it now as I am in a jungle camp where I can't buy a cheap watch or battery for my current watch.
I also always have a battery bank with me in the hills that will charge it and other things if I need to.
As I have just ordered this I will wait and see if it shows up all tikity boo before I put you on to it.
I get home to NZ next Friday and it should be there. Pm to remind me and I will give you the details once it all works out safe and sound.

I just wish I could get a new piece of glass for my old Seiko. That thing could keep time a lot better than the new stuff.

Careful, its a similar shape to the terrorist casio.
Casio DBC-32-1AES is where it's really at.
Was the ultimate watch to have as a kid (for me at least). Dad brought one and a Casio GF-2 back from a business trip to Japan. #mindblown I LoL retrospectively at clocking the game on the GF-2, all of the screen / bars / indicators, basically any display area went completely bonkers - thought the watch had fucked out on me but then started from level 1 again...
Thanks R93.
I'm heading overseas next Friday and back 10 days later but will catch up with you on that.
Cheers.
