Hi Martin Yes I see where you are coming from. Early days so maybe better to stick with cheaper one that is sufficent for "car to camp". Just a case of finding one I like. Ta Alison

Thanks Rebel Exactly what I was looking for. Except that they are silly colours and not as good looking as the mens G-Shock. Will need to go and try some on I think. Alison

Ok guys but.......... ..........you all have chuncky wrists. This here female would appreciate some similar analogue styles that would fit a smaller wrist. As much as I like the big chunky style it would look a little OTT on my wrist. Alison

Hi Ashley Your video is brilliant. Need to find myself somewhere to have a go. Alison

As a newbie I have found this thread very useful so thank you very much everyone. Off to my local charity shop in a mo to see if there is anything lurking and it looks like Kichanski is the one to get. RM is always a first on peoples lips these days but it is good to hear of a pre-RM book...
