Thread: Watches

Anyone got a good watch that does baro, temp etc that doesn't cost the earth? Mrs always gets me bloody Nixon watches that are only good for making my sock draw look pretty.

Looked at a G shock Mr G but that was like $1300!!

You'll only need 1 x G Shock for the rest of your life. Good watches don't come cheap.

I cant help you with the watch you are after but if you could get your Mrs to teach mine to buy me some more nixons that would be great!

Not sure what you're doing with them, mine's still going after 12 years - never been opened.

Suunto Core.

+1 blackcore is the best watch I have owned by far. Few newer ones out as well.
Baro always reads the same or very close to my kestrel. Temp reading is shit on them tho.

Tissot titanium nice, touch screen, compass, height, baromatic, tells the time!!, chronograph, wipes your bum! and is lite weight.
$1300 cheap for a good watch you tight arse

Worked in a watch shop that sold watches and did repairs for 2 years when I was younger.
Sold a few of those G-Shocks, I was the guy in the shop that read all the manuels and so ended up selling them because I could answer questions.
Never had one back for repair. No saying they don't break, just that I never saw it over that time.

Monaco the supplier of Casio's (G-Shock) were good to deal with for servicing issues, like replacement watch cases, straps and movements(watches engine).

The watch seemed to have change a bit in 15years but I can only imagine it's got better.
Hope you find something that suits.

Here's one for a grand:

Got a Suunto core very happy with it. But need a replacement as the glass face cracked when it clipped a wayward axe head! Following with interest
