Mate if I had more coin I'd have more watches than you have rifles, now that's s big challenge, you wouldn't be able to count high enough to know how many you own

I've got a G shock Rangeman. Temp and baro do not work at the same time - baro requires a constant temperature to work correctly i.e. on your wrist.
To get the temp correctly, you need to take it off so your body heat is not warming the watch.
If you have the time to let the watch cool down to give an accurate temp reading, then it's a very rugged, and functional watch. Added bonus - it does not need battery changes as it charges with solar.

@Gibo If I'm thinking what you want it for don't worry about the temp Baro is much more important (and the Alarms)and that's pretty shmeck... Could send you my old one if you want to have a tutu...

I think there is now a fishing one that does moon state that might be useful for hunting purposes...

Yip not too fussed with temp, baro is the key of course You know what I'm thinking

Yup - Like i say if you want to have a play PM me your address and I'll drop it on the courier for you.

You'll need to reset it 'cos i haven't since I replaced the battery about 6 months ago.

PD.

Just make sure the baro in your watch reads its pressure from a genuine barometer, not from being converted to air pressure from an internal altimeter

Some watches only have an altimeter and the readout on its " barometer" is actually estimated from an altimeter reading.

If in doubt - enter 28.5 inhg and just shoot the Deer.
