If you want a watch that will still be around your skeletal remains when the archaeologists find you go with a Marathon SAR. it was built for the Canadian Search and Rescue folks on government contract. The US then adopted it. you can take a look at it at www.countycomm.com There are limited supplies as these are currently military issue and made on contract. They are OUTSTANDING. Both in auto and quartz. I am also a WIS and have watches from $80 to $19,000 the SAR's depending on what you buy are between $475- $2770 and nearly every model could/would be three times as much on the pure civilian market.
