Guyute Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 Just wondering if there are any ruged outdoor wrist watches that you have found useful for geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+apersson850 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 If you are worried about ruining your watch, just take it off and leave it at home, or in the car. There is a clock in the GPS unit anyway, so you'll not necessarily need it. Anders Quote Link to comment
BGSkierNC Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 The TIMEX Ironman series seems like it would take som abuse, but I have never owned one, so really I don't have a recommendation but a suggestion... Maybe I'm cheap, but I get the $6 sport watches from the local Target, Wal-Mart, etc. that are waterproof. After a year or two, throw them away. If you MUST know EXACTLY what time it is, carry a watch in your pocket or backpack. BG BGSkierNC@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment

+Goodguys Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 My Cardinal watch is useless for geocaching! Quote Link to comment
peter Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 About a week after I got my eMap my watch stopped working. I never replaced it and haven't missed it for over two years now. I always have my eMap with me so why bother with a watch? Wish Garmin would add an alarm clock feature though. Quote Link to comment
+benjamin921 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Suunto makes a pretty cool watch. Compass, altimeter and pressure readings. Quote Link to comment
+Alan2 Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Besides on-board clocks, a lot of GPS's have sunrise-sunset displays. These are really useful for a quick check to se when the sun sets in case you're starting out late and want to leave yourself some time so you-re not bushwacking in the dark when you didn't intend to.
