What's the best wristwatch for a grunt?
Just curious. What is a good reliable wristwatch for a down and dirty Marine grunt?
Budget: $100.00 max (hopefully less)
Must be able to withstand the rigors of Marine training and participation. Digital? Analog? Solar? Battery? Legibility? Battery life ? Compass? Atimeter/Barometer/Thermometer? Can the user replace the battery without going to a watch repair specialist. Reliability a must.
I have been researching wrist watches for a bout a week now and the one I am leaning towards is a LaCrosse Technologies Digital Compass XG20 wristwatch which is new for 2005 and costs about $65.00.
There is aslo the Field and Stream Digital Compass/Altimeter/Barometer/Thermometer wrist watch that is warranted for 5 years at day of purchase for $119..which is a little over my budget.
Could use some input. Thanks in advance.
