Good sport / aviation watch???

[Bernoulli]

I need a new watch. I spend a lot of time swimming so I'd like a watch that is water resistent to at least 100 feet but I don't want one of those thick hockey puck watches... I don't need an altimeter, thermometer, VOR, GPS etc etc etc...Ha..ha..

All I want is a water resitent watch that tells the date, and two time modes. One time mode for civilian time for where I live and the other in Military time so I can set it to Zulu time. Does anyone have any suggestions.

It has everything you need and will last forever. Mine was about $35 at WaMart and I havent even changed the battery in 4 years.

this is the ONE you NEED

Pilot Watch

It has 2 time zones, stop watch, count down and count up timer, you can set it to turn the light on when you move your wrist, and it will beep like millions of other watches, but unlike any watch I have ever seen, it will also VIBRATE which sure gets your attention, especially in a noisy environment

What I have: Timex Ironman Triathalon. It looks like there is a newer version: 100-Lap Ironman* Triathlon. Their website is a ripoff, go into any major department store and buy it there, you can get them for $25-$35 and they do come in other colors (I have grey/black and picked it up at a Kohls department store).

2 time zones with civ or military time on each, 10 memo pages, date/year/day, displays which time zone you are on, 5 alarms, and count up or down.

Mine has personally survived being run over by my car, getting smashed into the sand by several sailboats, being dropped into a photoprocess waste chemical bin, hiking, biking (human powered), camping, sailboating, swimming (fresh and sea water), scuba diving, snorkeling, and flying. I am on watch band #4 and it has been ~6 years. This is watch #2 of this brand b/c I lost the first one at scout camp after 3 years of use.

I used to have a Timex Ironman Triathlon. It was rock solid. I wore it doing everything, including SCUBA diving to 300+ feet deep. I had the thing for nearly 4 years before I lost it. It was still working fine when I lost it during a skydive. Nothing fancy, not too expensive...but it will do everything you want. $30-50 at Wal-Mart, depending on the specific model.

Where were you diving 300 ft at? The deepest lake here is roughly 100 ft.

I'm not sure where you're referring to when you say lake...there are so many in the country...but I live in Florida(Orlando, to be precise). I took it on quite a few cave dives to 250-280FFW, and a couple times below 300FSW - including 3 dives on the USS Ozark.

I'm a transplant from Florida, I now live in good old landlocked Kansas. That's what the lake bit was about, haven't seen the ocean in a couple of years.

Has anyone tried this watch? Is it really helpful for the watch to vibrate?
