Greetings All,

Next week Tuesday I'll be taking the family on a little camping excursion which will last until Sunday. We've decided to step it up a notch, get off the ground and have rented a pop-up trailer so it won't be ultra primitive tent camping. At any rate, I feel like I need to take just one watch and have narrowed it down to two in my mind. Please help me decide.

Choice #1:  Traser Unterwasser




Pros:

Tubes Baby!! Should work well in low light conditions.

WR. No need to think twice about getting this one wet.

Durability/Beater. This watch can take a pounding and I am not gonna spaz should I inadvertently destroy it.

Orange!!

On so comfortable rubber!

 

Cons:

Quartz... I mean, what if the battery decides to croak on day two?

 

Choice #2:  Fortis B-42 Marinemaster




Pros:

Lume dial should serve me well on low light conditions.

WR. No need to think twice about getting this one wet.

Durability. This is one hardcore mother that will accept some punishment.

Automatic. Should keep on tickin'.

Bracelet. Comfortable and solid.


Day/Date... should I lose track of the days or daze as it may be...

Just plain bitchin'...



Cons:

Simply put... what if I mar this beauty?? I mean, I might just put my hand in a fire or be attacked by vicious racoons...

So I ask your help my Wis brothas and sistas... What do you think? I've made this a poll so you can give your opinion easily. Thanks for taking a look and helping me out. Any and all comments are appreciated and if you know my collection please feel free to chime in any other suggestions!!
