Which Digital watch?

[Martyn]

That's it beside the cheaper DW-5600E, no atomic synq or solar power but still every bit as tough.

It's fast mate.

I have this baby... Been on my wrist 5 years in all situations, not missed a beat

Another vote for the DW5600 solar/atomic at £65 delivered:

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.

You should have read the manual, you can turn off the auto light function

I did, it was one of the cheaper ones, still more hassle than it was worth IMHO.

I'm now wearing a £17 casio and I'm quite happy with it. Everybody to there own and all that.

There might be something of interest here

Mainly digital faces but there are a few analogue watches that look quite nice to me.

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.

G shock for me. had it 4 years. been free diving in it to about 50 meters, been in the water for almost 5 hours with it, went skiing in it, dropped it out my second floor window, and wore it at work. have never taken it off since I baught it. flawless and i get a lot of comments about it too. also it's remained white too

I have a Suunto Vector

Great watch and shows accurate altitude depending on the pressure. Excellent buy!

Don't know about any other watches but my digital one seems to have disappeared from the market...

After about half an hour of surfing the internet, I found this site:

http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/ladies-watches/constant-boys-digital-lcd-watch.asp#revlink

But obviously the price is wrong, and I can't find the Constant website or any other references to this watch on the whole internet...

But it's lasted extremely well (at least 6 years) so if you can find one, it'll be well worth the price (£999999.00)

Seriously though, IIRC it was about £8 or £9

I have one of these

http://www.solod.com/Vostok-watches-Blue-Amphibia-Sea_894.html

Automatic, waterproof to 200m (not that I've tested), shockproof, good lume, cost GBP35, and people in the know say that the engine is as good as the best Swiss autos. Russian military spec. Soon to become rare as some oligarch has his eyes on the factory and its resources.

I have had a Gshock waveceptor for so long that I can only guess how long I have had it, I think about 8 years.
In that time it has never missed a beat and has been clobbered by cricket balls, (normally wipes a watch straight out), Used under water, with percussion power drills and hand tools such as heavy hammers and chisels. It's been covered in lime dust cement and god knows what else, yet still buffs up to a shine.

Its a solar one so , needs no batteries, so the water tight seal is never compromised.

Simply would not own anything else

No plastic bits on my one though, its a Stainless Steel body and strap.
Bombproof

I love my Sunto Vector.
It has more than just watch and date, but I have found useful the barometer, the thermometer and most of all the compass.
It's very reliable, tough and absolutely waterproof.
