Can anyone recommend a good watch? I had a Casio that died due to shitty battery replacement. I would like a good, large, sturdy, waterproof military type watch.
Any thoughts?

Casio Pathfinder tripple sensor.

You said Big, well, this watch is big.

Built in digital compas, barometer, altimeter and thermometer.

Also give time!

Chrono, alarm... all the shits you need.

Also a cool feater that detect your wrist inclinason and automaticaly turn on the back light.

Price range should be around 150-250$. I had this one for my birthday a couple of years ago and costed about 250$.

Sweet! I had one of those as a kid! :lol:

They're not big, but most of my buddies in green swear by Ironman watches. I agree. They're bulletproof in the field, and no worries about getting it muddy or wet or anything.

baby G shock's are said to be able to with stand 500 FPS .20 gram BB. I dunno never tested it but i buy wal mart watches and they're indestructable for airsofting

good military watch is Stocker & Yale sandy P650 (more ligth with fiber case) or sandy P660 (Stainless steel case), other good watch is citizen automatic divers wacth.

At this moment i use one citizen automatic with titanium case and i'm happy (there aren't in photo)

I love all these expensive watches designed(or so they say) for the military, etc. In reality, myself an others just use cheap timex watches, their good an reliable an can take a beating.

I'm not in the military but I just buy cheap 15$ digitals and use them till they die and then buy a new one, I'd hate myself for fucking with a 200$ watch.

mctaz: Those are the authentic SandY watches right?
I have the replica ones made by H3 (formerly Traser). On the surface they look identical. Tritium vials look great at night.

Replica

The marathon TSAR looks nice too, but way out of my price range.

McTaz, which watch there has the green holder doodad?

Chingyul · September 30th, 2005, 00:05

I think it's the Marathon Navigator on those military bands that Eagle and Blackhawk (and probably others) make.
