Hi, sooncheng1990,
I agree with CK, a G-Shock will be ideal for your needs. They are not really that cheap these days either. Otherwise you may consider a Seiko or Luminox or if you have more $$$ to splash a Tissot T-Touch. From your ID handle, you must be pretty young, so I guess you will not find Oris too appealing.
Otherwise, you may also consider asking for advice from this bunch, a policeman, army fellow, red indian tracker, all the outdoor type for advice on what they wear......

Don't know how you can contact them, but you may just call the YMCA (their favourite hangout place).
best regards,

maybe you want to consider MTM watches... ;)
-
@ CK - thanx but I already own a few Gshocks. Any other recommendations?
@ Enkidu - Have Gshocks oready, Seikos are not my taste, I think Luminox not worth the money. I have read bad reviews about the T-Touch. Dunno who the Village People are. What talk you?? ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

You should look over the products of these two US watch manufacturer. They make watches for the outdoors men and from what I read in other forums, they are very good watches. They are MKII and KOBOLD. I believe KOBOLD watches are also the preferred choices of special forces personnel like Navy Seals. Both companies have facilities where you can buy their watches online.

Take a look.

What??? You don't know the Village People? Mana boleh? Bet they will also recommend a few retro outdoor watches to you, like the Seiko 6105 divers, the 6138 and 6139 chronos, and don't forget the awesome 6159 Automatic Tuna (RM 10K should be right to get a good piece!!!).

@hiro - Suunto considered a watch meh?? ::)
@ivanswk - Ex1 make me look old leh.... :thumbsdown:
@endiku - :mooning: no time for vintage nosense :mooning: :mooning: :mooning: :Laughing_on_floor:
So hard to buy a good watch here in M'sia. Better to try Singkie again. :HammerHead: :HammerHead:
-
This one more like 20k, but might be what you are looking for:
http://www.swi
Or an Omega is about 10k and rugged. Especially the Seamaster series. The non-bond Seamasters with sword hands look more rugged and may suit you too. 2nd hand definitely less than 10k. :)

I too would recommend an Explorer 2 although you would need to UP your budget a little bit. A prince from the UK wears one in the army ...
-
do you need the function?
like altitude etc etc? if yeah then go for Sunto.
If you just want a sporty watch. SINN U1 seems good. just took a look at one just now. it's 6000 plus. but i believe you can get more discount.
-
any Ball Hydrocarbon series, they are built for tough situation and visible all the time :)

I for one,almost always wear my trusty rm300 Orient Mako XL be it hiking,scuba diving ,playing t.tennis .Why risk wearing a rm10k watch when a rm200 seiko will do?

actually that is how "some" rich people do it. :Cheers:
i think pro-trek series / titanium is not bad ... (something between a g-shock and Suunto crossover)
not too cheap not too expensive, durable and you won't cry if damaged.

I strongly recomment you this :
(http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t477/kentkoh79/photo.jpg)
It had been with me for the past 3 years for all sort of-toughest activities.... Rafting , swimming , diving, gang fighting.... (joking)...
Nothing great with the movement .... But what u can get is one of the hardest watch case made from metal on earth ! Its tegimentation process with the black hard coating is more than 2000 vickers... Which is roughly 12 times harder than the normal stainless steel 316l case. After 3 years i hardly found any hair line scratches on it... Completly look like NEW !!! No offence here.... Rolex or pam stainless steel casing if compare with this watch is just like : tau fu.... Ha!
Anyway... Seems like not many sinn kaki at this forum....

Yes, armed with a solid one piece case, screwed down crystal retaining ring and L-ring crystal gasket (I think) plus a tough additional rubber strap, not to mention the excellent 8L35 movement. Good value for money although yes, it can be expensive for a Seiko.

I do like some of their models but then I never want to commit a sin... pun intended...

Ahem....ahem....I think it's pronounced ZINN.
I have one (the Sinn 656), not a bad choice, has a well tested ETA movement, comfortable to wear, very legible, fairly good timekeeping and comes at a price that is affordable. The small date window is not suited for a vintage WIS like me unfortunately.

The most I will ever risk outdoors is a Seiko 5 or a Black Monster/Orange Monster.
There's this funny/horror story that I know of, of a fellow that lost a RM30K Rolex Submariner off a popular diving island spot in Thailand. The next day, half of the population of that island was diving in that area trying to find the Rolex for themselves. I do not want to be the person that lost a Rolex.

If u want watches with functions that can be used when doing sport activities Suunto, T-touch, protrek would be nice
about the problems with T touch, it only affects the old generation. Tissot have improve the movement and they call it T-Touch II, the titanium model is very light i've tried it on before.
If u want a bit more high end - Ball, Omega, Damasko, Sinn etc. would be nice
-
This German Made Archimede Outdoor watch is unique and specially built for outdoor activities.
-
LIMES diver watch is very nice too.
-
can use JLC (use by special forces) and Brequet... read somewhere that they are made for military use ... :thumbsup:
-
I suggest TAG Heuer Formula 1 . Reliable quartz movement. 200 meters water resistant.
-
I wear my Rolex Submariner for almost everything... gardening, drilling walls, running etc. Insanely robust :thumbsup:
-
Outdoor Swiss wear with a budget of RM10k. I will pick Bell & Ross or Ball.
-
Rolex Submariner 14060M can go any places !

This is under 10K and is as tough as hell. I have been wearing this for almost all of my outdoors stuff of late. Swimming at the pool and the beach. Tennis, mucking around with the kids at the park, gym. So much so that I have been neglecting my other watches...the movement is top notch and has been accurate to +2 seconds a day so far. Not a common watch and, as most who would buy an "expensive" Seiko wouldn't care what others think. I buy a watch for my own pleasure too...not to impress others.

A preowned Bell & Ross BR01 or BR03 steel with canvas strap! Sturdy, beautiful, and very legible!
