Advice on wrist watch

[tmckay2]

My wife wants to get me a decently nice wrist watch as a gift. She wants it to be something classy I can wear out and such and with hand dials but I also want it to be useful when I backpack as such. Obviously changing the bands is easy, you can get a metallic chain one and replace it with a Velcro one for trips but anyone have recommendations for under $200? It would be nice if it had altimeter, compass, barometer or something useful but it's not mandatory. And by classy it just needs to have time hands and be probably metal even if black, just no rubber sport watches.

A stainless steel Swiss Army watch would fit the bill. Here's some (both above and below your budget)

Don't know if that's a good place to buy from (just did a quick google search for Swiss Army Watch).

Might go look at TJMaxx for a well priced local one (I'm sure there's a ton of places to find them in Denver)

Sports Authority has some.

I have a citizen and a swiss army. I like them both. My swiss army is titanium so it is very light. Look at Amazon for some good deals.

With some judicius googling and hunting you should be able to find one under 200. An example.

Guy I work with has one, nice watch but I find them a little bulky (they're pretty thick)

I have a citizen eco-drive and a swiss army...love them both and they look good.

Another +1 on the Citizen. I've had my eco-drive for over 5 years now, and it has survived better than any other watch I have had.

I have a micro sun dial that is always correct but does get snagged sometimes.
