Watches - ExPo Style

[CDMartin]

I am a bit of a watch nut too, love the Breitling



Liked the Kobold until it crapped out at 310' on a tech dive in the Keys



Always much love for my Rollie's



Now, the Deep Sea gets all my attention, everyday watch



And who can forget their first watch, it's a manual wind Timex, and still functions 36 years later, though its a bit small to wear

I recently bought the Casio Rangeman (G-shock series). I really like the look, functionality, and the color, however the bulk of it has me going back to my Suunto Core more often than not. It has a negative face, and the ABC functions are a plus. You aren't going to get Suunto accuracy with the compass or the altimeter, but if you are using this as a primary means of navigation, then you are wrong in the first place. Here's a stock image for reference:

Note: Don't let a Deet-heavy bug spray come in contact with the rubber. I've got spots that are not coming off.

You can adjust the compass and altimeter to read accurate. I calibrated my triple sensor pathfinder, then it was accurate.

Yes, I do that, I have the Pathfinder as well, but it is a constant battle for accuracy. I like both of the watches, but I prefer my Suunto when tracking ascents, barometer, etc.

I've been wearing a Casio Pathfinder PAG240B-2 for around 6 months now. Solar powered, compass, barometer, thermometer, altimeter...a lot more than you need for everyday. Put it's very dependable, durable, and well priced. Also comfortable to wear.

I own two watches. One I wear with a suit and tie that tells time and the other being the Pathfinder. I've had it for many years and am still amazed with the solar aspect of it. I've never had to replace a battery. I keep telling myself one of these days I'm going to read the manual so I can actually use all of its functions.

Picked one of those upon St. Thomas last year. Great watch!

The Casio Pathfinder looks like a great watch, but I laughed at the -10C being its lowest temp reading and claiming it is low temp resistant down to -10. That is not nearly low enough. I think I speak for a lot of people that have been living for months well below -10 now, peaking at -30 to -40.

Just picked up a GSAR. It was a little more than I planned to spend, but it was a good enough deal that I couldn't say no.

I'm very happy with my USMC SAR. Hardly ever take it off or wear anything else.

Basic G-Shocks served me well in the Marines, they serve me well now thru all sort of abuses. Construction, shooting, dirt bike crashes. Using a G-2300 Solar now. It's big and ugly, but then again so am I (shrug).

This pic is a few years old. The Solar is a good bit more 'chewed' now, but the lens is still clear, still working great. Has a brunton slide-on compass on the strap. Pretty damned good watch for $50.

eta well they've certainly gone up in price

I used to wear a Timex Ironman Indiglo back in my Boy Scout days. But now I've changed things up with a mid 1980's Vostok Amphibia.


Call them crazy, but the Soviets designed this watch to compete with the Rolex Submariner, at a much less price to make. Inexpensive, simple, rugged, and always functioning. Ironically, it's like the AK 47 of wrist watches. I do need to get the dial and hands re-illuminated though. A real pain to see the watch when diving in low ligh conditions.
