Hello all, Every year I think about getting a wrist watch for hunting. I use my cell phone but hunting late season will drain my battery and I don't like how much light it throws off. I haven't worn a watch in years. I would like it to see the time when it gets dark and not disturb the woods when my sit starts or is coming to an end. I'm not looking to break the bank but don't want something cheap that won't last. Any recommendations? Or other functions that I should consider? Thanks, Dan
I wear a samsung galaxy 4 smart watch, it has the hard fall detection and it is synced to my phone, can read and respond to texts with littler movement than pulling your phone out of your pockets, I wear it daily and have had one for the last 3 years or so, They work amazingly well!
I've got a suunto traverse. It lacks some of the modern bells and whistles(no crash/fall), but here's what I like. Basic time, stopwatch, timer and alarm functions. Compass and geolation that uses both GPS and glasnos. Altimeter Sunrise/sunset times based on your location. Barometer/storm warning(based on change of barometric pressure). It also has some navigation capabilty, I've used it as last resort. And can mark waypoints. It holds a change for 1.5-2 weeks. Is built, rock solid and water resistant (deeper than I'd ever dive, but not as waterproof as their dive watches). Bluetooth connect for texts and some tracking What I don't like: Though it syncs some metrics to the phone, it doesn't seem to integrate as well as some apps. Silicon strap bands don't last for me Their strap pins Used their prices are reasonable.
