| Been looking for a decent watch that won't break the bank. Many searches have led me to the Casio line-up, I like the ones w/ a digital compass and temp. Any other brand in the under a $100 bucks range that I should look at? |

I would just go with a basic G-Shock.
If you know the time you can figure out N,S,E,W. If you are cold put more clothes on, if you are hot take some off. Never in my life have I seen someone dressed one way out in the weather need a temp reading to tell them to bundle up, or take something off. If you need a compas get a dedicated compas that you can navigate with, under $100 you are not going to find a watch that has one that would show anything more than the 4 cardinal points. Same holds true with the thermo. How accurate will one strapped to your body be? |
