Hey fellas, trying to decide on a new everyday beater. I'm in the field often and need something that can take some abuse. My budget is around $300 US
My two final contenders are:

and

Opinions?

[Val]

What features do you need?

[Anton]

^^
Basic time. The instrumentation stuff is great but I have specialized equipment with me to cover that most of the time.( the ABC sensors are nifty though. Lol) Need something that will stand up to slogging through the swamp, hiking through forests and exposure to seawater. It also has to look presentable enough for the occasional meeting.

[Val]

The seiko skx 779 with metal strap is perfect for that, but the citizen will hold up well too except the rubber strap over time will fail. If you are going to be in briny water a lot I suggest going titanium, depending on your budget you can look at Casio oceanus

[Anton]

^^ I was considering the Seiko "Black Monster", it is an excellent contender. Aesthetics wise it closely resembles the edifice I currently use daily. The Oceanus is out of my price bracket right now though.

[Val]

It's a very tough watch, I hike with it a lot. Only thing is that the bezel gets hard to turn in Sandy water, so tough to time yourself.

[Val]

Consider also the Orient mako or ray

Anyone ever used one of the Casio solar watches? If, are they reliable?
Thinking of purchasing one for work.

damn good price

[rollingstock]

^ It is, may just buy it for the price.

[Redman]

Yes
I have the gw3000 since 2010 NO ISSUES-I changed the band last week

Its accurate and its a g shock-caught my son pounding a 'nail' with it and it hasnt given any issues.

It will last long because when you put it down after a while it stops.
Conserving battery life until you pick it up.

As you pick it up it resets to the correct time and date.

So its a great primary wear watch

[Val]

That's not a gshock. It has tough solar movement which is different, it self corrects ever so often to ensure alignment of hands. But that watch appears to be a decent buy.

I actually just got one eh

the black and orange version. looks nice on my (small) wrist, as it is nicely slim for a watch of that size. And it's pretty light as well. Mine came dead in the box and it took half a day to charge tho

10/10 no regrets

[trinidrift]

I got A 3230 g-shock frogman since 2010. Never changed battery or took it off and it never gave any trouble

[Val]

Just ordered an eqs500db1a1. Lowest price its been on amazon for a while

[ismithx]

looks sweet but too complicated

[Val]

Lol. You should see some of my others then.

Ordered 2 through Raptor, collected Thursday. Really light and comfortable and fits my small frame just right, I have a G-shock over 10yrs and wore it about twice, felt like strapping my laptop to my wrist.

I can be a little less cautious at work now, at $400 a pop no big loss if it get damaged, still mourning the damage done to my old watch, but my fault going to work with a genuine Sunborn

[ismithx]

yeah, the watch is so light that once it's charged, I'll wear it all day even when I'm home

[*$kїđž!™]

whats the word with armitron watches?...

[ismithx]

the sport watches look fresh enough, but I don't like their interfaces
