Watches?

Looking to get a good, all around tough watch and wanting to keep the price below $150.

So far I've been mostly looking at the G-Shock line, focussing on the solar/atomic models.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the GW7900B-1 and have found it a few places online for around $140.

Any thoughts or suggestions from those out there with experience and/or knowledge of these types of watches?

My GShock has been through Hell and back and is by far my favorite digital watch. I have owned a Shit ton of digital watches and within a year the band's wear out but my Gshock is still like New..
Mine is the solar/ atomic model.

I have the 1500 and it seems like a nice watch

Not sure if they sell the G-shock but my wife sells fine jewelry at Macys Oxmoor. They have a very large watch department. Just a thought.

I've been wearing a G-Shock for a little over a year now. Other than a couple scuffs on the band, it still looks new. No complaints here for ~$140

Yeah...but not at my price point

You said $150 and less right?
If so do some checking, they can be had around that price.

Ok, so what are the main pluses to the Suunto? Know nothing about them.

Easy to swap out batteries, log book, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, compass, timer/stop watch, 360* marked bezel....

Basically it is a wrist-top computer.

I've only had mine for a bit over a month, but I love it so far.

If Whoots has one I can't decide if that means I have to get one or avoid them completely :llama:

I like the look of the GShock better, and the solar/atomic part. I don't know. Not in a huge hurry, guess I'll see what kind of deals I can find. If anybody knows any good places to check, for either watch, let me know.

Walmart and Sams both usually have the best prices locally.
Have seen cheaper prices on line from time to time.
