Harry,
If you actually used your boat or a GPS you would have realized the GPS has
a built in clock.

You must keep your GPS on your Lobster Boat along with the DR. DR. wife.

Try the Avier Triton diver, mine keeps within a couple of seconds a

The luminescence on the dial markers and hands is superluminova, the
dial has this nice reflective metal finish. It has a date function,
but no chronograph function. Mine takes a lot of abuse, but it uses
ETAs 2824 movement which is very solid. Its only rated to 200 meters,
but it has a really nice display back. It retails at $695, not a big
price when you consider most swiss divers retail over $1000. I also
like the screwed links, I didn't have to go to anyone to get it
sized, I just used my eyeglass screwdriver. Ignoramus31468 Wrote:
My old POS "titanium" (read base metal covered with 0.0001" of
titanium coating) finally died and I am NOT missing it. It was all
pitted from my sweat. Disgusting.

So, what I am looking for now is a:

1) stainless steel watch
2) luminescent dial and hands
3) with calendar, stopwatch etc
4) very water resistant
5) very abuse resistant (I do a lot of mechanical type works etc)
6) accurate
7) not too expensive. I want functionality and not prestige.

Any suggestions? I can go with analog or electronic display, I am not
too sure what is my preference.

thanks

Nothing wrong with titanium..if you buy a good quality solid titanium
block and wrist strap.
My wife paid $695.00 CDN for a Victorianox Swiss Army Titanium watch 6
years ago. I used to pit my watch & my arm from alergies (nickelitis?)
but since I got this watch...no problem.
Supposed to good for 300 feet and has the rotating bezel to keep track
of time.
My Skagen solid Titanium was about $100 on sale at Macy's. Is not a
dive watch, but I wear it snorkeling. And it is a very comfortable
watch to wear as the solid Titanium watch and band weigh very little.


I have not worn a watch for over 5 years. My cell phone is all I need
if I need to check the time. Prior to cell phones showing time I only
wore one while on business, never while on vacation or on the boat.
After all what kind of *get away* is it if you have to worry about time?


How revealing, though I suppose if your boating consists of hugging the
shoreline on inland waters, looking for a place to swim, you can skip the
watch.

I always wear a watch when I boat, but I rarely bother with my cell phone.
If I'm fishing and having luck (or no luck), I want to enter the
information in my log, and that information includes the time of day. The
GPS on Yo Ho has a clock, of course, but it's never set to the right time
of day, because I don't bother to correct it when I flip on the battery
switches.

I had a feeling you weren't much of a boater.
