Okay, I'm being very sad today. I am wearing this:

Why is this sad? Well, because the movement is dead and it doesn't tell the time. I just couldn't stand wearing my Rolexes any more, and had to wear an Omega, even if it was a broken one... My 45mm should arrive in a few days, and I'm starting to lose the plot in anticipation :D

On Saturday, We decided to exercise our right to roam and check out the local countryside. Armed with an OS map and my compass watch, we followed what should have been a road. We walked several hours along this sort of terrain, seeing a cow give birth under the watchful eyes of friendly farmers and generally enjoying the countryside.

This is what was shown as a road. Can you see the vague path between two rough hedges?

Here is the compass/altimeter/barometer watch. Not mechanical and not a rep, I'm afraid.

What kind of watch pug? I have my eyes on a Suunto with compass and heart rate monitor but I hear the crystals scratch very easily. I wonder if one could install a sapphire crystal in its place? :whistling:

Roman Road? Would that watch be a Suunto by any chance?

It's not a Suunto. It's a Casio Tri-Sensor.

Awesome :thumbsupsmileyanim: Definitely a watch for anyone interested in the outdoor life :)

I lowballed the regular ebay sellers for a few weeks before I got lucky. I bought it not because it's a nice watch but because it's useful. We've decided to do a lot of camping and walking this year, so, after seeing a T-Touch, I realised I'd need a compass watch. This was 1/8th the price of a T-Touch and I don't care if it gets scuffed up or dirty. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

My idea of a walk is grabbing an OS map and just doing it.

Absolutely, that's definitely the best thing to do when getting something you know will be getting rough use :)

In Scotland!

What's even funnier is that I had to desaturate the photos as they were far too green and warm. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Here's what the weather looked like straight off the camera:
