Looked it up and it seems like a reasonable price for the functionality, but that face is almost cartoonishly large. I'd be concerned about snagging it on shit.

What's the point of this thing though? It doesn't do anything that you can't already use another tool for.

Tell me what you need a watch for while /out/
>Hur de durr to tell the time
more specifically: Why do you need to know what time it is down to the second while /out/?

Some of us actually go far enough out into the bush that if we don't time our trip back out properly we will get stuck inna woods after dark, and that's no fun.

Nylon straps like that are nice because you can seal loose threads (from wear and tear) with a lighter flame, and it makes them look new again. Not that anyone ever actually does this apart from me, but you can, and it works great.

for what? I don't need any of those things because I'm not incompetent... speaking of incompetence: my question was specifically about time and you didn't answer my question.

Why do you need the exact time while out?--the rest is you bloviating and not answering the question.

>Stuck in the dark
Again, what does that have to do, at all, with needing a watch?

You retards can't even answer a basic question--that tells me all I need to know about how stupid you obviously are for thinking you need a watch innnawoods.

I probably could go out for a hike all day in the PNW without a rain coat and just my wool mid layer, but it wouldn't be fun anon. Sometimes things that make it easier or more intuitive are worth it.
As for time, being aware of the time and punctual is good for all things in life. I don't think you need the exact time, no, but you are also retarded and so is this entire thread.

Why are you conflating a rain coat with a watch? How stupid are you?
>Punctuality
JFC tell me you only ever day hike without telling me you only ever day hike.

Doubling down on bait doesn't make it better bait. Work on your material.

I hate this stupid fucking expression. You're neither clever nor funny for saying this. Try expressing your ideas in your own words for once.

While through hiking, knowing when sundown is helps, and it's nice to not have to stop to pull out phone every time you want to know how much time you have left to walk on a rainy day.

But, like. Just buy a 7 dollar one that looks sturdy enough from Walmart. The point of having the watch is so you don't have to stress about time as much and can just enjoy your hike, not much else.

I stress significantly less about time now that I don't wear a watch than I did when I wore one.

My benchmark to stop is when I reach my next planned campsite regardless of light conditions. I hike in the dark in the winter all the time because I live so far north it's either deal with the darkness or don't go out at all...

Also, in the summer, it's never really dark so, again, still don't need a watch.
