What's a good watch for around $100-150?
 

My requirements:
-used outdoors in sports, hiking, traveling
-waterproof
-gadgets would be nice (i.e. compass, temperature, etc.)

timex?

timex.ca ... check out the "outdoors" section.

edit: yes, this is over your budget but they have other cheaper watches on their site with less functions. besides, it's TIMEX, "they take a lickin' and keep on tickin'!"

walmart actually has "some" decent watches for pretty cheap

timex expedition got my vote!

timex or casio

5 replies and nobody has said G-Shock? WOW.

Get a Riseman

Altimeter, thermometer, barometer, everything you need (and don't need ;)) from a watch

Thanks...the Riseman looks like a good suggestion.

The WS4 is a little too big unfortunately.

If you need a compass, you can look at Casio ProTrek too. They are basically a variation on the G-Shock. They are usually quite big though, but not as fugly as that Timex up there

with the Canadian dollar so good right now you should go to the states to check them out. Maybe shop around here and buy the one you want off ebay for cheaper?

lol. how much are g-shocks anyway?

saw them on ebay for around $150

There are literally hundreds of models to choose from, ranging from $99 to $6000

A RiseMan will be about $150-200, depending on model.

yeah g-shock is the way to go.
form+function=win :D

A basic Timex Iron Man watch suits your needs and those are only $25-$80. I had the most basic one while travelling around in Asia.. it just kicked ass. If you're going to be hiking/travelling, it'll get banged up anyway.

How often would you really need compass/temp gauge? It sounds useful on paper, but I think in day to day life it's unnecessary and you'd be dragging lost of unnecessary weight around.

It's kinda like those calculator watches.

Save the money for a fancier watch for other occasions!

There's been so many times when I was lost and thought to myself "if only I had a fricken compass on me right now!"

^
Sarcasm?

If not,
haha fair enough. You're probably better off with a iPhone or some GPS shit or something.

yeah..avoid extras...keep it simple and use a watch for what it is, a watch.

G shock

I never knew how useful a compass would be until I had one on my PDA

By all means no, LOL, I do have a terrible sense of direction though..

screw iPhone!!!!! i hate apple >=/

What about that tissot touch thing? That's got those functions too no?

umm i think those are just a bit out of price range...;)

check out fossil stuff...might not be what you want but some of their stuff may fit ur price tag...

Definitely go for a G-Shock, those things are tough as hell. Got one while I was a kid, took it off in school and placed it in the pocket, housekeeper threw it in the washing machine, thing actually survived the wash without a scratch. Thing is still working today (bout 15+ years old).
