    He can see it but can't take it very far because the chord is quite short.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Went with a G Shock Rangeman. By all accounts it is quite accurate for pressure and altitude against my Garmin. Will continue to do validations from known sources.

    Quick findings:
    Temperature - useless unless you take it off - no surprises there. Will look at timing how long it takes to get back to temp, the arm warms it up.
    Baro - looking spot on ± 1 hPa
    Altitude - so far ± 5M so good enough
    Compass - haven't used it much - wont be replacing my Silva

    Have a suunto vector and a g-shock. Both work well. The sunnto is nowhere near as tough though and is showing wear and tear fast. Soft plastic housings etc.

    @JoshC yeah, the bevel popped off mine first then the glass got scratched easily. Cant blame the watch for the glancing axe blow that cracked the glass

    Look on the back cover of the watch an you'll find a rectangular box with four 4 digits (the 'movement/modue' code). Let your Googlefoo do its magic with those numbers and download a pdf manual. Much quicker to find what you want that way.

    @Gibo Scroll through your alarms with the top/bottom buttons till it shows SIG and toggle it off with the middle button on the right hand side.
