    Yes, I am currently sat here wearing my Keros GTI aftershave whilst eating a lion bar staring at the screen. This weekend I will be driving to Llandegla in my Mitsubishi lifestyle Warrior

    After my ride, I'll walk my two Rotweillers Satan and Thunder then pop down to a shop to pick up a 'Special Ops' watch.

    I like the radio solar tough casio range...

    Can't break them, don't need to change the battery, the time is always correct...

    Fit and forget

    I got that G-Shock [blue/yellow] and it's almost 10 years and still does not need batteries.

    I also have a Casio calcultor with space invaders on it and it still works... I've never put batteries in that either.

    Nuclear powered I reckon.

    The amazon review of the ecodrive made me laugh

    The picture says it all...
    What's the point in wearing ANY watch that requires the eyesight of superman (or supergirl!) together with the brightness of the sun to tell the time.
    There are cheaper methods of frustration... buy any bargain watch, get a black felt tip permenant marker and let rip.
    Ok it's not all bad... I'm giving one star for the nice black strap.

    Wait for tomorrows black Friday offers....


    I'm waiting.
    Regarding squaddies not wearing G10's, probably advisable somewhere like Helmand; in the dark the face will really show up in a pitch black night, perfect sniper target. Snipers during WW1 used to look out for glowing watch faces at night, as they were more likely worn by officers. A G10 is much, much brighter than a radium dial.

    ...What a F**king joke.
    Are you SAS or SBS OP? Oh wait maybe you are Delta?
    Also I doubt you are going to dive to 100m anytime soon. I would be impressed if you managed half that.
    Try 50m in the north sea with 2m vis. Bet you anything you would sell your fancy watch for £1 to just see daylight again.
    Just get something pretty.

    LMFAO at this pointless rant

    You really need to chill the **** out

    The fella is buying a watch what's that to get so stressed about ?

    I suggest laying off the steroids for a bit and seeing if you can get those outbursts under control

    I got me one of these. Solar powered (No real use in the UK), Atomic (only worth it if everyone else goes atomic), waterproof (needed in UK). The only negative is that chicks seem to go for me because of my look rather than taking the time to get to know me properly. I have a mind too.

    My father wore something like this in Normandy, unfortunately the original was lost/stolen.

    Elf, I already have one of those! Thanks for the tip though.
    Really like this one though.

    According to a watchmaker I know the Casio atomics are pish at picking up the time signal.

    Must be true then, except the fat bloke down my local says they're fine. I just don't know who to believe....

    Just like a non-specialized dealer selling Nicolai's will tell you that Specialized bikes are for non-enthusiasts and Nicolai's surprisingly enough are for riders riders who can really ride?

    Total pish statement...

    Yeah my one picks up the signal every morning at 1:02am. No idea why that time is chosen but it does it consistently...

    I think in all fairness we need to know where said watchmaker lives/works as there are some areas that don't receive the signal.
