The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I've been kind of browsing around for a do it all hunting watch, and I was curious to see how many of the BS brethren are fellow woodsman and if they just take their Breitling in the woods with them or switch out for a G Shock or Suunto or something else.
I would like something with Barometer, Altimeter and Temp as well as a compass.
Thoughts and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated in advance.

I'd go G-Shock all the way for that kind of thing - cheap, rugged and packed with features. No point in risking a Breitling in the wilds IMO.

I do a LOT of hunting, shooting etc. it's either one of the G-Shocks that come or a Seiko monster. That said I never really need features like a compass, altitude etc. like D8 says and I agree I don't see the point in risking a "good" watch in environment like I shoot. The G Ss are the way to go. One I have have done EVERY thing, dropped, banged jazzuci, sauna, you name it and still look good too. I remember I viewed a video on YT of one frozen in a block of ice and it was still working.

A Few Breitlings.

I probably will just go with the G Shock. While the features aren't required to have a successful hunt, the temperature and compass would definitely come in handy, and the barometer could be useful as well. I am a bow hunter so I don't really need to worry about the gun recoil, but you never know what could happen in the woods, especially in Maine. I'll update once I make my final decision. I'm just excited to get into the woods and get away from life for a while.

Tissot ?

Tissot is another option, but a little more than I wanted to spend.. I think.

Mods will come along & cleanup soon I'm sure

Sorry about that Roff

I think I'm just going to wear my Chrono Avenger, it's tough enough. Ill just wear it on the rubber tang so that the leather stays nice.

Here's a limited time deal for a Tissot.

Yeah, I always wear my G-shock when I go out hiking, 4-wheeling, shooting, etc. To me, any sort of outdoor activities automatically gets the G-shock, as there's no reason to risk the Breitling, and out there I'm not interested in style.

I love this watch n wear regularly even bought a titanium strap for it. Would be perfect for your needs Matt, you can pick a used one up for around £200/250ish.



The 1st ones had a green T I haven't seen one of those anywhere on ebay, I'm sure they maybe quite collectable now.

Check out the Casio pathfinder series. They have some cool models

Something like this one I'd probably end up with.
