I am getting ready to retire my 10 year old, everyday wear Seiko wristwatch and am looking to replace it with something more rugged and more functional that I won't need to take off for outdoor activities.

I have looked at everything from standard analog military style field watches to the 2.5" dia, 1/2" thick wristop computers by Suunto and High gear. In an effort to streamline my EDC, an integrated compass is a feature I am looking for. I can't decide on a watch with this function built in (Ex: Suuto Vector) or a simpler watch, less prone to malfunction with a clip on button type compass. What do you all use and/or suggest?
