I'm looking for a good compass watch. Any other web sites where I can recieve reviews etc? Anyone have one? The watch must have a compass, alarm, light and date. It also must be water proof. It must look nice enough to wear with a suit, but rugged to wear hiking/hunting. I prefer metal bands. I also prefer hand faces as opposed to digital....a face with both is nice. The compass can be floating or digital.
ALSO, any good GPS watches? How much? This DOES have to do with hunting...but if you can suggest a good forum or review...I'll go there.

The one that comes to my mind is the Casio Protrek. It has a compass, barometer, altimeter, and thermometer. There are some versions that also have a GPS, but they look a bit ungainly to me. You can get it with a metal band, Casio is known to make very durable watches.

Suunto is also known to make good compass watches, but I don't think they look to good with a suit.

They have a good variety at www.campmor.com and I've always been happy with their service.

Just go to the site and do a search for "compass watch"

The Suunto is pricey but has some cool features. I think some of the Nike models look good and some of the Timex ones come with metal bands.
