I have a G Shock. Another good thing with it is how easy it is to do a Time Check ( 2 seconds is enough), and also to have the Z Time. Mine also has a stopwatch. And it offers no light reflection.
I saw many watches being broken in the field, but never my G shock.

Gentlemen, I found this site to have the best prices for the watches that you may be looking for:

Archangel - Thanks for the URL. Now I'm all confused. :confused: I bought my last G-Shock at Walmart years ago, was satisfied with its (minimal) capabilities, wasn't even curious about what else was out there - and YOU had to go and show me all of the options. Not like choosing a new rifle or pistol with only a few functional enhancements. YOU had to show me watches with capabilities I'll need a PhD to figure out. Just to realize I'll never need/use most of them anyway. (I'm going to blame you when the boss wants to know why I'm spending so much time researching watches on the internet. :p ) Have a great SF day. :D Peregrino

LOL. Hey it's TR's fault. He mentioned that he liked his Pathfinder so I did a Google search. I thought there was only one Casio Pathfinder until I found that site. I'm in the same boat you are... I don't know which one to get. I bought a cheap watch from Walmart & it did got owned by some Wait-a-Minute veins on Land Nav. :cool:

Sure. I've just misread your post a bit. Cheers anyway, though.

solar power?
 

Reaper Sir, are you using the solar-powered model?
Would you mind pinpointing the model in the forementioned website?
Thank you

Negative.

Using the Pathfinder - PRG403VDR.

Great watch, my old Casio Triple Sensor ate batteries like crazy, this one has been good for over 24 months.

Doesn't mean that it is the best model for you, but I like mine.

TR

I have the casio Pathfinder Model PRG60.. and like TR i use the function quite often (just to get use to them in the case i really need them). The compass has some variations, Alt is very good and its solar so no need for a battery change.

Got it on ebay new and saved about $300 so if i lost it i be sad but not heart broken..

Archangel,

Yes, thanks also! I just arrived back from an extradtion and now I really don't feel so good. I thought this was going to be easy but I am now with Peregrino; so many Casio's and only two wrists. :D

I don't have issues with only having two wrist because I'll wear those suckers on my ankles when I run out of space on my wrist. My problem is cash flow. :cool:

a bunch of watch people have various and sundry info. They tend to like "traditional" self-winding watches, but do have the 'G-shock' on the sale page.

Wow you guys have great taste in watches. I have a Casio triplesensor ATC-1200? I know I have had it at least 5 years but maybe longer I really dont remember. I know the year after I got it they came out with one with indiglo which is easier to read. I have only had to replace the bad and one battery since I had it.

Would really love to have a Rolex GMT someday though.

for what reason? there's lotsa neat gadgets and stuff on the modern watches...
of course, you don't need a battery for a GMT Master as long as your heart is still beating...

If it was the watch of choice for SEALs and SF back in the day then it had to be one fine watch. I have met a older gentlemen who had one and they said if your gonna get a watch get one these son. I'm a gadget freak but some things cant be improved on sometimes.


Incidently I met a guy a few years ago that was retired SF. I went into his hospital room and he was laying there sporting a sexy hospital gown, OD green wool socks, a very neat gray/white flattop, and a Rolex GMT that looked like it had been around. He complimented me on my flattop when I dropped to one knee to draw his blood and I asked if he was retired SF. He said he was but I dont remember with what group now. I complimented him on his choice of gown accessories and he said his wife had mailed him the watch in Vietnam while he was doing some diving with some SEALs. I saw him a few more times over the next few days and he was a really great guy.

When I was logging and high climbing, I carried a pocket watch. That ended the year I started high climbing, I was breaking a watch per week.

My farrier has the Timex ccrn shows here because it works good and he won't lose much sleep when it gets broken by a rank horse.

Casio must be a hell of a watch from what I've read.

I wear a Suunto Advisor.
Battery change only in the couple years I've worn it. I like it in the mountains with barometer and altimeter, numbers are big enough I can see what day it is when writing a check under pressure.
