So I have a bit of a watch fetish and currently have a really good watch for /out/doors. However, I wouldn't mind adding another one to my collection?
I'm torn between the Suunto Traverse Alpha and the Casio Gulfmaster Quadsensor...
The Suunto has so many features but the draw back is that it requires charging (this wouldn't be too bad for extended /out/ trips since I have a 20w GoalZero Solar panel?
On the other hand, the Casio looks a bit better in my opinion, is solar powered and has a heap of data (tide, moon, depth +abc functions)
Money isn't an issue, so what do you guys think?

Would it take long to charge with the GZ?
It would be my first smartwatch but I really can't get over how useful it would be out in the wilderness with the GPS and all... I already have the G-shock Mudmaster, but since I do a fair bit of fishing/spearfishing etc, I really would benefit from the depth/tide data which is why I was so interested in the gulfmaster.

If you have an external battery with your GZ (I hope you do), It'll take about half the time it takes to charge your phone.
As you already have a decent Casio, I'd suggest branching out with the Suunto. It's a super solid back country watch, with capabilities you don't have yet.
At the end of the day though, just go with the watch that you think will be the most useful to you. They key part is finding the features that you would actually use, not just meme functions.
I think you'll make the right choice either way Anon!

I'd go for the solar version. This is still a great pick, nonetheless.
I rocked this for 6 years in the military through hundreds field ops with my Marines to deployment to South America. I still use it on the water when I'm fishing and on the mountain bike trails. I own a few nicer watches for regular and dressier wear but this one stays my /out/ watch.
Ended up buying a Suunto in Black/Red... looks pretty boss if you ask me?

If you're looking at Casios check out the Pro Trek models too. They're pretty expensive, but so is that Suunto Traverse Alpha.

None of these has a pulse measurement.
Ishygidigt.
The Timex Expedition series is really nice and affordable.

In comparison Casio G-Shocks seem overpriced. The Pro Treks are nice, but the Suuntos do offer more features.

The heart rate sensors that come in most watches today are horribly innacurate.

Why waste 45 seconds? Just count beats in 15 seconds and multiply by 4.
I have a Garmin Vivoactive
Lasts a good while on a full charge and has GPS (which will shorten battery life significantly)
I really like it.

Why waste precious time?
Count to five and multiply by 12.
I have an irrational fear of de-gloving
Is there any rugged watches not meant for the wrist?

You'd have to really fuck up to deglove yourself with a watch.
I mean, a ring, yeah... but a watch is fine.

never fails
