I have wanted to pick up a new watch for a couple weeks now, but with the watch fund dry for any autos I thought I would look at some quartz.  First, I have been trying to snag a Marathon composite Navigator and finally won one on the Bay last night.  Second, we had the Cub Scouts in NYC on Sunday and stopped at the South Street Seaport.  There was a watch shop there that had quite a few nice pieces (including Nauticfish 300m, sweet but out of my current price range) and a whole bunch of Swatches.  It reminded me of one that I have wanted to get for awhile but they didn't have it.  When we got back I did a search and found one for 50 bucks, the Fun Scuba "Moray's Bite".  It arrived today, and it is totally cool!
200m WR with a built in depth sensor and dive timer.  While definitely not a serious dive watch it will be fun up the lake. :D  The sensor works as soon as you are submerged more than one meter, then the hour hand reads out meters of depth and the minute hand begins timing the dive, ticking off by seconds for the first 2 minutes, then at one minute intervals after.  It remembers the most recent dive too.  It is a monster, at least 44mm, a nicely domed crystal and the lume is really good (hands, hour markers, depth measurement track and bezel markers).

Two new watches for less than half of my last purchase (Hammy auto chrono), I love it!

Cheers,
Griff

This one deserves a wrist shot, it really is a monster! I wonder if I could get a lume shot too...
I got full WAF (wife acceptance factor) on this one :D

1.  She likes Swatch (I have bought her 2 in the last couple years)
2.  It was 50 bucks! :D

I think #2 is the main reason that she liked it toon1.gif

Cheers,
Griff

Full WAF?? I never thought I would see the day!! Nice grabs, Griff. Have fun with them. The Swatch seems pretty gadgety and should be a kick!!
