I dont like wearing mine outside of work cause its beat to hell

2019-10-02 02:35:27 UTC  

I wear mine everywhere because it’s sentimental but it looks like shit

2019-10-02 02:35:40 UTC  

Only reason I didnt insta buy a gshock is because of how bulky they are, had a similar style watch before and would get it caught on everything

2019-10-02 02:35:43 UTC  

Reaching my hands into tight spaces

2019-10-02 02:36:11 UTC  

@Toby Tobacco buy the original g shock there like 60$ and slim

2019-10-02 02:36:13 UTC  

I do have to take mine off when I make my bed because it’s against a wall but I haven’t been inconvenienced otherwise

2019-10-02 02:36:22 UTC  

Its just the better version of your current watch

2019-10-02 02:36:34 UTC  

Yeah I think thats what I'll buy

2019-10-02 02:36:47 UTC  

@fjogert i know exactly what your talkin about

2019-10-02 02:36:51 UTC  

And at that point it seems worth getting the nato straps, or straps with a decent compass on it

2019-10-02 02:37:13 UTC  

Theres lots of compatable stuff with the g shocks

2019-10-02 02:37:31 UTC  

Mid teir daily use i reccomend em

2019-10-02 02:38:31 UTC  

I know there are a billion different g-shocks with a billion different features
Anything neat the most basic one does? I know there is one with a barometer and one with a thermometer. I'm almost certain there is one with a compass.

2019-10-02 02:38:45 UTC  

mine has a thermometer and a compass

2019-10-02 02:39:08 UTC  

I saw the bearing marks on yours but didnt see the actual compass

2019-10-02 02:39:15 UTC  

Ohhh

2019-10-02 02:39:17 UTC  

Now I notice it

2019-10-02 02:39:19 UTC  

the second hand becomes a compass

2019-10-02 02:39:26 UTC  

you push the big side button

2019-10-02 02:39:37 UTC  

also top right display is stored bearing

2019-10-02 02:40:01 UTC  

Mine is standard multi time zone 3 alarm and the feature that turns your light on when you turn you wrist

2019-10-02 02:40:06 UTC  

it’s not a extremely accurate though

2019-10-02 02:40:20 UTC  

enough to do really basic land navigation

2019-10-02 02:40:42 UTC  

Reckon it'd be enough for hiking/camping? Thats why I really want a watch with a compass

2019-10-02 02:40:54 UTC  

yeah

2019-10-02 02:41:03 UTC  

I've left compasses at home before but if it was on my wrist, it'd always be with me ykno

2019-10-02 02:41:32 UTC  

I can remember landmarks well enough to think “north east on the way out, south west on the way back”

2019-10-02 02:41:35 UTC  

Man tie it to your pack

2019-10-02 02:41:42 UTC  

I wouldn’t go long distances in a flat desert though

2019-10-02 02:41:54 UTC  

Nah I live innawoods and every place I want to go is innawoods

2019-10-02 02:42:10 UTC  

Or onnamountain

2019-10-02 02:42:32 UTC  

you’ll probably be fine but I can give no guarantees

2019-10-02 02:42:43 UTC  

I’d carry the compass watch and a small backup in the pack

2019-10-02 02:42:47 UTC  

doesn’t take up any space

2019-10-02 02:43:08 UTC  

I wouldnt trust a watch compass

2019-10-02 02:43:17 UTC  

I should just leave my hike/camp gear alone when I get home but I unpack everything and put it up

2019-10-02 02:43:27 UTC  

So naturally I forget a thing or two sometimes when I prepare it the day before

2019-10-02 02:43:37 UTC  

See alright

2019-10-02 02:43:41 UTC  

Felt really stupid when I brought a map and no compass, and vice versa

2019-10-02 02:43:54 UTC  

yeah the nice thing about a watch compass is that you always have a compass
