I am not too sure - you called it mid range. But my seiko orange monster just did all that.

gshock

Hi David.... how are you? Thanks for replying. Any suggestions around RM1-2k ? Tough enough to knock around haha.... :thumbsup:
-
agree with CK77.. SHOCK.. get a MUDMAN... that will cover whatever things u wanna do.....
-
Or try one of the Casio Protrek series watches.
-
Sinn, damasko, ball... Rm3-10k... Mid?
-
A RM300-500 Gshock is all you need.
If its broken, throw and buy another.
-
any preference/criteria? would help in narrowing down the options..
1. size
2. movement (auto/quartz)
3. type (analog/digital/analaog +digital)
4. material
5. price range
etc......

Wow guys..... thanks for the feedback. Guess I have a tough choice ??? I like the idea of "use and throw it away" ;)

I am good here.
For 1-2k, there are many lying around as suggested by the members.
Throw in a little bit and get a Tag formula series. Look tough and with a piece of actions.

Stainless steel Subs should fit nicely in the job..

i am not sure about toughness of the Tag F1... i think a orange monster would be a better deal compared to the F1. i have seen my friend's rubber bits on the side peeling off slightly.
or go all the way and get a 14060

hmmm, name Alice, I assume is a female, for lady, normally will be baby-G, Casio, Timex, cant get wrong...unless you are WIS, then different story
a/s/l :Laughing_on_floor:
-
Nothing wrong for a WIS to wear baby-G, diff people have diff taste.
-
For active outdoor activities... budget wise I would go for G-Shocks.
Abit higher will be Tissot T-Touch, Sea-Touch and whatever touch that they have... ;D
Solidly built for outdoors.
Mechanical? Damasko is the only one I trust.
Higher still? Rolex Sub... lol
I remembered someone climbed mount kinabalu with a sub strapped on his wrists... :shocked1:

Sorry, my bad, I mean Woman In Style (WIS) :Dancing_banana:, they will go for DKNY, LV, CK, and etc... ;D

Siodee: A/S/L is my line bro!!!!! >:( ;D
I'm sure to bring back my Polar M71ti titanium from overseas. It's actually a heart monitor, but it's tough as nails and looks the part. They've come up with a newer model, but I much prefer the previous one.
I'm surprised Sid Vicious hasn't come across the watch while doing spring cleaning at my place.

someone climbed mt everest with an explorer strapped on his wrist ;D

For diving, go for G Shock Frogman and for hiking go for Riseman. You can also go for new Mudman with compass... ;D
-
What else can a G shock Fanboi suggest but... A G Shock! :Jumping:
Anything above 1k is a waste, its not like you are doing tough outdoor activities 24/7 I presume?
-
G shock bro
-

Master Hobbit, you mean this casio protrek? This indeed a good outdoor watch for me. ;D

Thank you Zitan.... ;)
On contrary I was wearing a Panerai while navigating a jeep in Tanzania at Ngorongoro Crater. My Pam survived the ordeal but I had to change the strap when I got back :D ... So yea, I thought why not just get a cheap one since am going to scale Mount Kinabalu.
:Cheers:
-
As a explorer like u, I will suggest g shock and it can double up at alarm if u are not using any handset in the mid of Africa jungle.. Just my 2 cents

Hi Siodee, those watches that you quote are designer watch. For sure they are not my cup of tea. I guess most members on the forum are into real watches esp with beautiful movements and some are real rarity. However, I certainly wouldn't mind to get cartier, chopard or piaget if i can afford it
:Cheers:
Alice
-
cartier, chopard, bvlgari, piaget are serious "in-house" watch makers now

I miss out this thread, when I read carefully "I'm surprised Sid Vicious hasn't come across the watch while doing spring cleaning at my place."
Bro Sid, you serve Brolex?? and cleaning his house wearing Sub :o

Wow, unbelievable :o, he must be someone very powerful to command you to work for him... :Laughing_on_floor:

Back to topic.
Anyway, for me, I wore my other Swatch when I went up to Mt K the first time in the year 2008. The Swatch still works when I am up on the summit.
The second time to Mt K (using a different trail), I wore my manual winding skeleton watch.
Now planning my third expedition to Mt K and still thinking what to wear on my wrist.

wow.... 3rd time climbing :thumbsup: Good on you watchnewby ;) Friend of mine has been using Rolex submariner for diving all over the world. It has been with him for like 20 over years and it's still functioning perfectly fine :o. I have never seen such a "well worn" watch. :thumbsup:

Not only that, been to Gg Nuang, Gg Stong and other numerous "smaller" mountains. Never attempt the G7(Tahan, Yong Belar, Korbu etc) in Peninsular as yet. This weekend will end up in Broga Hill.

Ya, that is one tough cookie.

Exactly Alice. Your Pam should be the outdoor watch/beater. It needs some dents to add character to it. Ha.
Since you like big watches, I say a jlc navy seal auto will do just fine. Steel, black dial on black rubber strap, 42mm which is a decent size. That's a beauty I must say!
-
Why not try a Seiko SKZ211J1 Atlas/Landshark? Well below R1k, comes with a steel bracelet. Looks good. Here is a picture of mine on my wrist.

for outdoor, Casio Protrek is always my pick, u have all the ABC function, high WR, tough and "drop-proof" *with limited condition :p
its cheap and its bloody good, nothing beats it :)
