Need some assistance locating a watch for my needs. I am looking for a watch that has a internal compass, barometer, altimeter and depth gauge that can go deeper than 30-40ft. Preferably with alarms for set depths. All the watches I have found have plenty of stuff for guys that climb/ski or para-sail, etc. that could do total vertical ascent and everything else for the mountaineer types. The wife and I stopped by REI tonight and they had Suunto, Casio and a couple of others but the best one with a depth ability was the Suunto and it could only register depth to 30ft. Everything else I looked at was more along the "dive computer" route and those are WAAAY more than I need as far as depth and have zero alt/baro/compass. Can anyone point me in the right direction? |

I was going to suggest the suunto... but then RIF |

Times like this we need a Watch Sub-Forum I looked for a watch sub forum but didnt see anything. Is there one that I missed that only has access for team members? Not one yet...been many a thread on requesting them though I agree, there would be enough traffic for a watch forum. |
Here's one that's close... but expect warnings in the manual about using this for 'high risk' activities. Last Pathfinder I looked at had 4 or 5 warnings about using the altimeter for skydiving.
