I have a hard time deciding between watches for outdoor wear. My main watch is a Marathon SAR with cyclops and the optional steel bracelet (http://www.countycomm.com/presar.htm). It has a high-end Swiss automatic movement that is accurate to within COSC spec, is water resistant to 330 meters, has great night illumination and is built like a tank. It is vastly in excess of any sane timekeeping requirement that I will ever have, and I have total confidence in it.

I also have a Casio ProTrek PRG70-1VDR (http://world.casio.com/asia/wat/protrek/triple_sensor/prg-70.html#PRG-70T), which has a slew of time, compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer functions and is solar powered to boot. I got it from www.chronograph.com.

The SAR is significantly more indestructible than I am but only tells time, and the Casio does a lot of useful things but isn't anywhere near as water resistant and indestructible.

I should probably wear both <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
