I have enough old manual watches (for now) so I'm looking for a digital casio g-shock looking watch with loads of (mostly pointless) features such as compass, thermometer, altimeter, light etc. For less than £75.

Preferably in black, plastic or fabric strap. Something like this plastic beast

, although it's £145.

Not Suunto, due to the price.

Obviously I'd like the features to be as accurate as possible, but I know they are limited, but I'd be disappointed if some were totally unreliable or useless.

Thanks

There's a £70 ProTrek on this page. It's the SGW-100B-3VEF.

£70 is the RRP, they are selling it for £56.35. Even better! cool

Excellent. But at 52mm wide, not for everyone...

Agreed, but it doesn't sit as wide as that. I have spindly little wrists and many large watches look silly on me. This sits and feels ok though.

Before I spend 75 chops on a watch of this type i've bought a cheapo casio chunky watch to see if I like it.

Not bad for £13.50

Bombproof i think i have had a Pro-trek for about three years now and have given it so much abuse you would not believe it, it still looks almost new apart from a little fade on the writing around the case.

Awesome watches
