I don't really do watches but quite fancy one for outdoorsy stuff - biking and when stomping in t'hills.
I want one that's 'sturdy' and will take a knock and illuminates at night but doesn't need to have lots of bells and whistles. Timex do illuminating ones and I think Casio do too...anyone experience of either? Not really sure exactly what I want - please show me your biking watches 😀
Never found a watch comfortable for biking - having it on the wrist as it flexed to hold the bars, always dug into my hand.
Garmin on the bars does everything a watch does and more, and doesn't dig into anything 🙂
I have been wearing a Casio g shock on the bike for the last 7 years still
On the original battery and going strong

That's why I just go for the tiny cheapy Casio things for a tenner. So small and light that you just don't notice it while riding, or give a shit if it gets broken or scratched
Even when I had a small one it dug into my wrist - I was always pressing the buttons on it with the back of my hand!
As Legend says, the best I've found is the F 91W Casio or something else using a similar casing.
The G86 is pretty much perfect.
I have a G Shock, but they are a fashion driven affectation, no tougher and much more uncomfortable than the £10.00 alternative.
