One of these would be a good idea. And fits right in your budget.

Just curious Chris, you seem to have alot of watches. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Don't you have 1 like tool watch or daily beater that you can wear to badminton?
I used to wear my Tissot T-Race... now it's my Sinn U1  ;D
Or is the WIS inside you poisoning you with the I "need" but it's actually I "want"?  :Laughing_on_floor:

Yes, alot of watches
but can't wear leather strap n bling watches right?
Tried sinn u1, but the watch head too heavy n will swing little
n lazy to set time twice a week

so I need a watch I put on to go for the game n put a side when back home
once a while I can wash it with tooth brush

looks like g shock is the only choice

I see, you need a "grab n go" I guess...
You play left handed?
Anyway, yeah, I G-Shock would be best.
Just walk in to any shop selling G-Shock n see which one you like lor.  8)

order online cheapest (check out lelong or low yat; if want to know who is reliable, PM me)

or G-Factory prices at Fahrenheit88 also ok... sg wang shops will try to rip you off unless you are a frequent visitor...

I have 2 watches for sports, a Tag Golf TW and also a Suunto G4. Both are made for golf but the TAG far more comfortable for sports as it is light and not too big.

I m. Dun un, msia everyday got sun light, one of the biggest solar panel producer in the world n yet our gov never promote solar power, went to ask bout the Suria 100 subsidy, very limited budget n as a normal person like me can never get it!!!

Can't afford to build a solar power house, So buy solar power watched lor.

am with Suunto T4c (Volcano). This is a nice piece of gear...thin & light, good looking and it's gather a lot of workout data. I've been using it for about 2 month now.

Oregon or timex also another great options!
