New Watch?

[AR Bandit]

For some reason I feel like I'm losing a few man points for posting this but I have been in search of a new watch for some time and cannot find anything locally I like.

What I'm looking for is a black watch, digital, that is a tough looking as it is in durability. Something the lines of a military or tactical watch.

I'd like one under $200. Any suggestions?

Look into the Casio watches. Don't know any of the model names, sorry.

I haven't worn a watch, since cell phones, are so small, I just use my cell, and spend the $200.00 on ammo ..... JMHO

I have a few Casio ones.Good quality and cheap.
G Shock or other models are tough, water proof and everything.
You can get one for $50, no need to spend $200 for a "tactical watch" who is just a black watch.
I even saw some with the color called "tactical black", which looked just like normal black to me, but more expensive.

I've had my eye on a few Luminox watches for a "tactical" watch. I'm not sure if you can get them for under $200 but I like the way they look and many have tritium hands which glow. I know you said a digital watch, but you might take a look...

I have a Casio Pathfinder, but if I had it to do over again, I would have bought a Sunto. Makes the Casio look like a toy.

My main watch is a Traser H3 "Code Blue". I've been thinking pretty hard about buying a Luminox 3051 Blackout.

I have a Casio pathfinder solar watch and don't regret buying it at all. Love this watch.

This watch is over $200 tho. Sorry, I just re-read your original post.

The g shocks are nice and so are the luminox.

Go to the local walmart and buy a casio g-shock. I bought one before the police academy and wore it everyday since. I don't like the plastic band on mine as soon as I order the velcro strap for it it will be a lot better.

Do NOT buy a 5.11 watch with all the gadgets and what not. I hate mine.

I'm a little leery of anything 5.11 other than boots and clothing. They tend to stamp they're name on some seriously cheap ****.

I've got 2 of these and love them

[billyboyr6]

This is my next watch. But I'm kind on a citizen eco-drive watch junkie. it's one of there stiletto Series.

Not really tactical, but I wear a Timex and have taken it to Hell and back. I wear it 24/7, to work everyday, swimming, hiking, hunting, and everything in between. I've had the watch for 4 years now, I've replaced the battery once, and it's just now showing signs that the band will need replaced. It does have a compas on the band that's a POS and serves no purpose if that classifies as tactical. When the time comes to buy another watch I'll be buying a Timex.

I really like the way some of the more simple Luminox watches look. If anyone has first hand with any of these, a review would be really cool.

I have owned this watch for 5 years and worn it at my full time EMS job. This watch has survived water, mud, snow, ice, blood, tears, vomit and just about every other bodily function.

It's been bumped, banged, dropped, knocked, and exposed to all types of weather.

It now looks used and abused but it's still functioning 100%.

Another vote for Timex here. It's all I've ever worn. The only time it comes off is for a shower. It is an "Expedition", has a nylon band and the hands glow in the dark. The whole watch can light up (Indiglo) with a touch of a button. Also water resistant to 100 meters.

Gshock by Casio. If you dont have to have a digital, try Luminox. Amazon.com has them for way under retail. (normally 300 and up full retail) but around 180 to 250 on amazon. they last forever and take alot of abuse....
