hackR Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I just recently pick up my third ABC watch - Altimeter, Barometer, Compass... It's a CASIO PRG200T-7; i plan to wear it on either rubber or Zulu - but it comes with a titanium bracelet...i might also oxidize the bracelet to darken it up... Anyhow - this CASIO joins my my Tissot T-Touch (ti/orange strap) and Suunto Observer (ti)...both wear great and love em both!... Yes - i am an active guy - but not one who needs these functions...i own them for fun...and the T-Touch is by far one of the coolest watches... I will shoot a group pix soon, but here's some stock pix of the models i own... Soooooooo...if you have one, tell or show...if you don't have one, what do you think?!...

KB Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 The only problem with having a watch with that many spec's is remembering them all. Ken
redwatch Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Looking good R! Also really like that Suunto!
PeteM Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) What no AR!!?? I have to say that the interim measurement times really let this watch down for me!! I would be looking for at least 15 secs!! Seriously mate! They look great and as for fun I can see where you are coming from! Look forward to seeing your pics now and I think the bracelet idea is a blinder, that would look sweet! Edited February 23, 2011 by PeteM
subbiesrock Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 That is an INSANE list of features, gues the old 7750 would need a few mechanical modules added to perform all those functions...
Weekendwatcher Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I have a Suunto Core all black that I wear while hiking. Although It's 50mm, it wears much smaller and is by far my most comfortable watch.
vafarmer70 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I have a Suunto Core all black that I wear while hiking. Although It's 50mm, it wears much smaller and is by far my most comfortable watch. That is a super watch for hiking, and camping. It does wear smaller as well like you said.
plaifender Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah.. here's my beast .. It would eat all of your watches for breakfast 9 month solar charged battery, and Atomic clock calibration. Moon phase, tide graph, 31 time zones, chronograph, timer, 5 alarms, automatic illumination feature, and most IMPORTANTLY.. Will survive anything short of Nanuq's sick mind
PeteM Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah.. here's my beast .. It would eat all of your watches for breakfast I think I saw the old bill using that to force a front door during a dawn raid !!!
redwatch Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Yeah.. here's my beast .. It would eat all of your watches for breakfast Great Vid!! I like it when they zap the watch @maxman - those Diamond encrusted G-Shocks are just silly
rcm83 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Sorry mate, mines got you beat Altimeter, barometer, compass, GPS, atomic timekeeping (syncs with GPS sats) Plus...what other watch can do this I do like that all black 7900 though Edited February 23, 2011 by rcm83
subbiesrock Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 GPS in a watch? Soon they'll be putting cell phones in 'em Oh wait... They already do
plaifender Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Sorry mate, mines got you beat Altimeter, barometer, compass, GPS, atomic timekeeping (syncs with GPS sats) Plus...what other watch can do this I do like that all black 7900 though GPS is cool... I wonder how the guy is getting it to work without the watch having a direct clear view to the sky above. He's only got one window open and gps needs several satelites in view to be able to triangulate your position. Not sure you got me beat broham. My watch would still eat yours for breakfast.. Yours is cool and all, but I doubt it could take a baseball bat to the face Mine can Besides that.. the GW7900b1 was named number 8 in Time Magazine's top 10 gadgets of 2009 Yours has got me beat feature wise.. but looks and pure brut force go to the GW7900b1
nikki6 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 I have the Casio Waveceptor that Jason Bourne wore in the Bourne ultimatum, thats not why I bought it, I bought cause I love Casios. I have around 5 I think. The waveceptor has a lap timer on it which, when I was still able to ride motorcycles, was great. On track I could set it at the start line, and it would collect every lap I made and would show average lap time, all single laptimes and my average speed per lap! For £160 that is a serious piece of kit!! It was so accurate some of my racer friends used it to compare against their onboard computer data, it was never wrong once!! Will get someone to give me the model number tomorrow and try and dig up the specs on it! Sixx
hackR Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Posted February 26, 2011 Lol...I love Plai's nuclear beast... So...my Casio arrived...sweet...$160usd from the bay...light as a feather and only 11mm thick... Have it on a black zulu strap - which is perfect... Plan to sell the ti bracelet so my total cost will be a lot less...bracelet is ti, too and nice...but with the black bezel and darker ti case, this needs a black strap...
danza1812 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 I have the Victorinox Swiss Army ST4000 on it's way. It's got altimeter and barometer, no compass but has the analogue and digital display and was worn by Will Smith in I am Legend. Very cool.
danza1812 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Finally arrived, I know it's just A and B but it's very substantial and looks cool.
sul Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 I have a Suunto Core all black that I wear while hiking. Although It's 50mm, it wears much smaller and is by far my most comfortable watch. I have same watch also, negative display is sometimes difficult to read, but no problem usually. This watch is my true "work horse".

txcollector Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 not an ABC but with more functions I can remember. My tool watch
MysticalChimp Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) not an ABC but with more functions I can remember. My tool watch Nice Atom 2.0....That's my primary dive watch too =) I use my Aeris Manta as a backup sometimes too, but most the time I use either my rep DSSD or my Reactor watch as a secondary timing device.

gran Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 "Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea..." - Douglas Adams That being true....having a GPS om your wrist isnt all that bad
