Watches

[Trixter]

Woohoo! A new era of "whorage" has spawned. No longer are gearwhores to be envied. It's all about the watch whores now!

I use an Armitron watch. I've had it for about 2 years now, and the only thing wrong with it is that the straps are becoming unwoven (due to me picking at it with a pencil all the time). I've put my watch through a lot of abuse and it's still standing strong.

Built in digital compas, barometer, altimeter and thermometer.

Also give time!

Chrono, alarm... all the shits you need.

Also a cool feater that detect your wrist inclinason and automaticaly turn on the back light.

Price range should be around 150-250$. I had this one for my birthday a couple of years ago and costed about 250$.

Holy crap Homes, that thing should be hanging around your neck from a chain. Catch what I'm sayin', Flav?

I have no idea what brand of watch that us CF guys get issued, but they're utter crap. It takes nothing to lose, break or otherwise mutilate them. They keep time fine, but suck in general. Pilots on the other hand sometimes get various Omega timepieces. Damned expensive, some more than a decent Rolex. Nice though, should you ever get your paws on one. Me, I use an old school pocket watch. It's the only kind I've never killed or gotten caught in machinery.

What is your budget?

There's sooo many to choose from. ie from Timex to Seiko to IWC.... it's a pretty large range.

Omega Seamaster.... one sweet watch!

I got mine for about $200 CDN shipped. I had to get it forwarded up here since the seller wouldn't ship to Canada.

I've got a watch made by BodyGear (that's all I know, some kid left it on his bunk one day). It's got the whole analog/digital setup. I went and bought a watch-cover from the Canex too, so now it's great in the field :nod:

Yup, good ole Timex Ironman watches. THey are freakin buletproof(not literaly). You want a military style watch, well like was said, 20-30 bucks at walmart, and you got the exact same watch that like 80% of the CF uses.

I have the replica ones made by H3 (formerly Traser). On the surface they look identical. Tritium vials look great at night.
Authentic
Replica

The marathon TSAR looks nice too, but way out of my price range.
