picked this up on the bay for a best offer price. I like the color and massive size plus the 23 jewel movement and a real map reading function. plus it weighs in at 220 grams. what do you guys think about this as a beater?

Nice pickup and prob a good beater for the price.  I've looked at those too.  I was thinking of getting the blue dial one in ss/gunmetal.  Let me know how you like it.

different colors, different prices. I really want the platinum colored one but the prices are all over the place on these. I got this one with the full package.

update on shipping.4 day ship. worth the 38.00 to ship.

I spend that shipping in the states when I use usps plus insurance over 2000.00 so 38.00 for a quick ship is pretty good.

I bought one of those a couple of weeks ago. It was going to be my beater watch. I also ordered a matching Seiko ruber band that I think works better with it. Since getting the watch, I decided on a different beater watch and the Seiko is up for sale. Nice watch though, although its kind of big for my wrist.
