Time to kickstart this thread again. I've never been a huge fan of the fancy watch, what I look for is a huge fucker with great big numbers on it so these tired old eyes can read it.
That need was satisfied by the Highgear Summit...
(not my pic)
...but I just killed my second and last one in the hot tub at Ko Olina two weeks ago.
My loving wife and kids bought me a Suunto Vector for Father's Day but the damn thing has a negative face (black with green or gray numbers) and it's tough to see outside or in bright lights (it's not as easy to see as it shows in this pic)...
(again, not my pic)
I know they make these with the positive face (light background with black numbers, like my Summit above) but in my research I've found that the Suunto Core might be the better choice.
If anyone has any experience with either, or has better suggestions in the $200-300 range (again, not looking for anything fancy here), I'm listening.
Cheers! M2
