Default Looking for new watch

My timex iron man triathlon 250 lap has ceased to work.... Only 2 years old. Seems like a very short life for what I paid. Had to replace battery every 3 months also. So not going back to timex. Looking at a G-shock but I have no clue as to which to get.
I need it for daily time keeping, setting alarms, stop watch feature
Something comparable to the timex iron man triathlon 250
I want a big face but not a bulky watch.

Thanks in advance.

I have a citizen blue angel. Thing has more features then you can shake a stick at. Not even sure how it all works but it never needs a battery and automatically changes time. Got it about 5 years ago and i love it.

No, the $3600.00 one! James bond watch. Classic, stylish, bulletproof.

I have 4 G-Shocks and they have all been great. My oldest is a Gulfman (has all the standard features plus tide/ moon phase data) and I have had zero issues and never changed the original battery. It has been worn in saltwater and it is 6 years old now. I also have a Mudman and a couple others with larger faces that don't have catchy names. All are solid watches and I wear each of them regularly. Can't go wrong with a G-Shock. Go to the Casio website and pick one out that fits your needs. There are tons of different ones

wife got me a swiss army watch about 7 or 8 yrs ago and i wasn't really too thrilled with it. however, after all this time and 3 or 4 batteries and 2 or 3 watchbands, it's still here as a everyday watch. regular hour hands and day date, no light.
i was a g-shock guy, but the rubber band kept pulling the hair on my wrist and i couldn't find a different band for it, but they are good rugged watches.

You can't beat Swiss Army for the money......one of those is mechanical so it's never even had a battery issue

I am a fan of Omega........four of them now.......

But Ball is gaining my confidence......

There is also a Longines in there and the madatory Rolex.....

Did I mention I'm a watch guy?

It's amazing what you can buy when you stop buying new fishing gear every year

@ Simplepeddler Nice Collection.


I agree about the money one can stash away when you finally get set up with hunting and fishing gear! Omega for the $ still floats my boat more than any other brand. Its a lot of watch for the $ compared to the others that I find a little pricey for what you get. I'm a tennis guy, so Longines is likely my next investment.

My wife got me a Seiko Kinetic Auto Relay in 1999. New ones can be had for $200-$250.

Mine is still going. If it ever breaks, I'll get another one as close to it as possible.

No watch has ever lasted more than a couple years on my arm, so 15 years is pretty impressive.

My old Luminox needs to be retired after many years of service. This is my new replacement:
