CASIO Waveceptor Atomic Mens Black Analog-Digital Watch with a Resin Band. Model: WVA106HA-1AV from Casio. The list price is around US$69.95.
In general, I'm very happy with this watch. I've been wearing digital wristwatches for almost 30 years, since I was 10 years old, and I'm a fanatic about keeping accurate time, so when it came time to replace my latest Casio databank, I was happy to see the large selection of atomic watches available from Casio. I've been wearing Casio databank watches for almost 20 years, but they're absolutely hideous watches due to the keypad on them. Now that I carry a cell phone with me, my favorite features in the databank watch are now unnecessary, so I decided to get something that looks nice with an analog face, but doesn't sacrifice digital accuracy and features.
One of the concerns I had with buying this watch was regarding the case size, because I have a small wrist (6.5 inch circumference) and big watches can look strange on it. The watch case is 0.44 inches thick and 1.75 inches wide measured tip-to-tip at the widest point.) After adjusting the band and putting it on though, I have to say that altho...

SportBrain iStep X Pedometer from Sportbrain. The list price is around US$29.99.
I went to Walmart to purchase an Omron, but found that they did not have that in the store. I saw the SportBrain iStep instead and decided to try this out (since 'wow' it uses USB to upload your step information). Big disappointment! In order to use their FULL software...you need to purchase the software too. The iStep packaging is deceiving. NOT worth the money and pedometer. I should have bought an Omron-HJ112 instead since, Consumer Reports recommened it. I should have stick with that purpose to purchase a pedometer in the first place. Sure you can use other online walking software journal for free, but that's like turning on the computer to type it in all the time. Mightest well get an Omron and print out your own sheet to track your steps. You can use iStep's website to download your workout, BUT as a non-member--the website will only keep record for seven days only. This is where the pedometer's online feature lacks its' great affect. I can't be too harsh on this item...so I'll say it was a nice idea f...

Suunto Yachtsman Wrist Top Computer Watch with Barometer and Compass from Suunto, Usually ships in 24 hours. The list price is around US$389.00. (*The prices are subject to change) Street price is around $258.04.
I have been looking for quite some time at different sailing watches. As a bowman, I compete quite heavily in sailing regatta's and have tried several different watches. I have now had this watch for a few months and I must admit it is the best watch I have ever used. It is very user friendly and has an excellent countdown timer. Having the temperature and pressure is nice, but okay... they are extras. It is a nice looking watch, good display, and very easy to use. I would highly recommend this watch for anyone who truly competes in sailing regatta's.
