OT - Suggestions for a weekend "for fun" watch...

 

Hi,

Not sure if talkinga bout casios and stuff like that is allowed, if not, please delete as appropriate.

I own a JLC MWG and a sub. While ideally I'd like to get a NSA, I'm not in a position to do so at the moment. For some reason, I have been interested in getting an all rubber weekend just for fun kind of watch which I wouldn't mind bashing around. Cheap and cheerful, can be quartz no problem (but still looking for cool functions) along the lines of a Suunto Core/Vector or a Casio pathfinder. Truth is, I've been having a hard time finding something that I like and was curious to see if some of you guys had any such watches worth mentioning. Might be nice to talk about the less glamorous watches that we have for a moment...

Cheers,
Carmelo

A couple of suggestions...

...if you're going for a Pathfinder, try a PAG40, lots of functions to play with, but not a huge as some of the later stuff. Other suggestions, Citizen Aqualand Duplex: analogue/digital display, depth gauge, temp gauge, alarms, stopwatch... If you're afte... 

I have a soft spot for the Tissot T Touch.

I was amways smitten by this complicated quartz watch which offers a wide range of functions. Casio G Shock may also be an interesting alternative. Best, Nicolas.

Tissots are nice

Thank you for redirecting the post here. I'll put subsequent non-JLC posts here. Do you have any of these mass-market watches that you wear? Cheers, Carmelo

The only one I have is a superb Swatch I bought in Abidjan

15 years ago, with a world Time bezel, and a stretched aluminum and rubber strap... The battery died some years ago, and I still have to change it. Best, Nicolas.

I have no experience

but I have understood that these Hublot-watches are half rubber or plastic. I guess they speak about fusion... So perhaps Hublot. Best, Kari

I recommend a G-Shock ....

with so many versions with different looks, cool colors and functions, I'm sure you can find one that fits your criteria. I like G-Shocks alot…as a matter of fact …I asked Santa for the G-Shock DW6900MS-1 this Christmas. Good Luck Drew

try this

affordable fun, not mainstream, quirky, conceptually insane..with a story to tell. i can tell you this also attracts alot more attention then AP Ltd Editions. was once at a dinner gathering..everyone one at the table sporting Hublots and APs, there was ev...

those are pretty cool. No doubt about them getting a lot of questions asked. Where are those sold? C

Fun for me on the weekend means getting my hands dirty

Often very dirty. My Casio G-Shock Aw 582 wins every time. Trying to find my beloved departed, an AW500 (from 1989), but have a recent version of it until I can find another one. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-12-16 17:55:11...
