I've broke several $150+ watches in the field already

just bought a $320 watch that has no special features to it, lets see how long that one takes to break. mwahahahaha.
some guys over in my unit wear those fancy watches. but usually we just get something from wal-mart.

like i said before there are good watch (not military issue) with low price,
my last is one titanium automatic citizen diver's watch (you can find this only in some country),
automatic movement, titanium case, sapphire crystal, tritium paint on dial, waterproof to 200M..... a good choice for a good watch

I've got the same watch, it's a nice peice of equipment for sure. Got a hell of a deal on it as I got it used from a budy of mine for $125. I wear it all the tiem for work and play and only has a couple small scuffs on it to show for wear. Overall i'm impressed how well it stands up to abuse of day to day activities as most $15 walmart specials only last me a month or so before they break. Worth every penny i spent on it.

You said Big, well, this watch is big.

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$. I had this one for my birthday a couple of years ago and costed about 250$.

What do you guys think about Polar Watches? It seems to have all the features like the ones above and a heart rate monitor and all the other operations it comes with.

I recently bought an Aeromatic 1912 "Classic Calendarium" automatic watch from eBay.com Can not comment on its quality since I have not received it yet. I will, however, tell you that the best watch for the money is still a Seiko Model 5 automatic watch. Many styles in both men and women's models are available on-line from overstock.com, bidz.com, or eBay.com
I am wearing a Seiko 5 Sports model with "Lumibrite" dial right now. It keeps near perfect time and is very stylish too. Invicta is another brand that has good automatic watches available at these same sites, although I do not own one myself. Prices range from $50.00 US to $200.00 US with shipping varying from $3.95 to $15.00 US. I am a bit prejudiced about automatic watches since the Seiko 5 that I gave to my father in 1970 is still working perfectly (with only maintenance being a new bracelet and crystal). I hope this information is of use. If you need more help, e-mail me directly: jimparadisjr@hotmail.com

Marathon Issue Watches

Watch, Wrist, General Purpose, Qtz, Type I, Class1 6645013189833

Watch, Wrist, Gen. Purp. Mechanical, Ty II, Class 4 6645000664279

Watch, Wrist, Navigators, Quartz, Type III, Class 1 6645013644042

Gotta love the "Radiation Logo"...heheh.

All have the "Stop Second hack movement (movement stops when stem is pulled out)" so you can sync watches as needed.

They are also all lit with Tritium, so approx 12 years of "glow in the dark"...heh.

You can only buy "sanitized" versions publically, but if you search around (especially eBay), you can buy the Official Gov. Issue with NSN (Nato Standard Number) on the back. Typically run from $100-$200 on eBay depending on your luck.

There is also a guy here that sells them, but some of them look like sanitized versions (no Gov. Issue logo etc):

They are actually in Richmond Hill Ontario of all places!
