He might not have a smart phone, I don't. I have a pos that makes calls, and usually stays at home unless we're traveling. Watches still have their place, however, if he does have a smart phone, there are much better things that $200 can get him, like, ammo.Quote:

Her wanting to get me a gift gives me an excuse to buy a pretty nice watch to take in the backcountry but it unfortunately has to meet her classy standards as well.Quote:

Up until I got a cell phone, it was a Timex Expedition Ingiglo with a green face.
If I had to wear a watch now it would be vintage Bulova, Elgin, Hamilton... Then I would be too worried about breaking it and just use my cell phone.
Never got into big metal watches. The smaller, the better.

Casio has some analog G-shocks that have barometer, compass, altimeter, thermometer etc on them might be out of your price range
If you want something nice looking its hard to go wrong with Orient, and most of them are in your price range http://orientwatchusa.com/mens
Don't let the prices throw you, google or sign up for the mailing list and they always have some sort of coupon thing, used to be 50% all the time, or order somewhere else that has normal pricing.
Also they are owned by Seiko so quality is there, I have 4 or 5 between me and the wife, really nice for the price.
Or one of my favorites, get a PAM homage
