I am thinking I would like a new watch but I really do not know what to go for.

I want a outdoor/biking watch with a few features. Maybe a GPS/compass

Maybe a Sunnto or a G-shock type what can you advise I go for?

Thanks

Pete

Budget?

good point, around £100 – £150+ but would save up for the right one, but nothing crazy as intend not to worry about scratching it etc.

Had a few Suunto’s but TBH I prefer Casio Protrek’s, more user friendly and like the fact that they don’t need batteries.

Also had a Timex Expedition WS4 which was big but great to have all the info on one screen, can be had for £100 on eBay too.

I’m without an outdoor watch until the wife gets me one for my birthday next month and I’ll probably get another Protrek.

thanks I’ll have a look at the proteks/WS4

OOOOoo that’s different ta

who? me?

Just got a new G shock (Casio GW-6900-1ER). Solar powered and radio controlled, i’m impressed with it.

radio controlled? What? Why? If you leave it in the bathroom?

I really like and will be getting a Gshock Frogman

day to day I wear a metal gshock, if i go big hills or skiing I have a protrek, but the protrek is now pretty defunct as the iphone does most things it does better

Radio controlled means it gets a time signal from the atomic clock or something like that.

time signal from the atomic clock or something like that.

Doesn’t that give you leukaemia?

got a metal g-shock – water (and beer) proof – tested to a depth of a pint glass; shock proof – tested by whacking it off a marble topped bar after rescueing it from the pint glass, some damage to case and bar, watch still works, probably won’t do that again; radio controlled, yes it gets a time signal from the Atomic Clock, look modern technology isn’t it great

has a blue light that knows when i’m looking at it – in the dark move wrist to looking-at-watch position, cool blue led comes on
alarms, stopwatch, world time and loads of other pretty dull stuff.
around £100, look for casio atomic tough solar (oh yeah, solar powered as well)

Forgot about the light, mine’s green

Titanium casio protrek with waveceptor and solar power. Perfect watch!

casio pro-trek. I had a titanium one, seemed indestructible

and yet you use the past tense 🙂

I’ll get looking at the Casio pro-trek, is there a specific model that is better/worse perhaps??

thanks for all the replies so far

The PRG 80 is pretty good at a middlish price.
