Reddit reviews Casio Men's SGW100-1V Twin Sensor Digital Black Watch

If anyone is interested you can get it on Amazon here. :)

It just came in the mail today and I'm happy with it thus far. It has a compass and a thermometer feature, although they have been said to be less than accurate. I haven't had the opportunity to test those yet. Although it has been slightly tested for being waterproof.

It has blue back-lighting, several alarms (up to 4 I believe), hourly alarm, world time.. So many things, I'm sure I'm missing something.

Anyways, I just really wanted to share this watch with you as I actually haven't seen it around much in the past.

Sure - but just a warning - the Offworld jacket is the most expensive part of the outfit. It's a USMC WEP style jacket, which is typically a Nylon shell and goes for $200+. On the show, however, they used a RipStop material, which isn't as shiny. If you don't care about that, you can save yourself about $100.

I followed this Costume Guide

• Sage Offworld Jacket & Patches (the OD ripstop material is apparently hard to find so Sage is the closest thing)
  
• Sage BDU pants
  
  • You can get a combo deal on the Pants & Jacket here
    
  • You'll want some sort of belt for the pants
    
• Condor Olive Cap
  
• P90 Sling
  
• Airsoft P90 Replica
  
  • You can get a cheaper one on amazon, but it doesn't look as realistic
    
• Magnum Response Boots
  
• Blackhawk Omega Tactical Vest
  
• Black Utility Belt
  
  • This goes on your Tactical Vest and the Drop Holster connects to it.
    
• Drop Holster
  
  Things left for me to add: (I haven't bought them yet since I spent enough on the costume already and feel good where it is)
  
  
• Casio Digital Compass Watch
  
• Rubber Tactical Knife

This is another great casio watch, the thermometer is not very accurate but the compass works quite well.

A camp stove that runs on either propane or butane. $32.56

AM/FM/Shortwave Pocket radio $13.99

Digital Compass watch $33.49

Some higher end Casio G-Shocks have this feature, but to my knowledge none under $100 do. However, [Casio makes some other digital watches at lower price points like this one, which has a compass] (https://www.amazon.com/Casio-SGW100-1V-Sensor-Digital-Black/dp/B00186YU4M)

This is my beater watch.

My daily wear is a Cirros Milan. I have no idea if it is a good brand or not- it was a gift from my wife. Fair warning, I love Carbon Fiber.

it's this one

First of all you should know that the Pathfinder brand has been discontinued, all the new ones are ProTreks.

Now G-Shocks definitely are more durable, they are designed to be the toughest watches around after all. All G-Shocks have 200M water resistance (while many ProTreks have "only" 100M WR), shock resistance and more. Nevertheless, they still aren't completely indestructible, some people told me the resin band on theirs broke after a few years.
ProTreks are durable too of course. I've yet to use one myself, but I read about them online and there are many reports that prove they are too really quite durable timepieces. I would say you could probably feel safe wearing that for whatever, though if you plan on doing some really extreme or shocking stuff, a G-Shock could be a better choice.

Now for some recommendations for models you should check out of both lines. You should know that newer triple-sensor (ABC) Casio watches made after 2013 have a new and improved Triple Sensor Version 3 engine. I'll be recommending several Casios here I think you should check out, basing prices on Amazon (and it doesn't seem like ProTreks/Pathfinders are actually all that cheaper than G-Shocks); note that I don't actually have any personal experience with these ones, just what I read. Also note that of course you are able to find the watches elsewhere other than Amazon for different prices. Another important note on price is that this watches are usually available in different colors which also cost differently (here I chose the cheapest colors).

1. Casio ProTrek PRG-270 (current price: $116): this is the cheapest ProTrek or Pathfinder I could find on Amazon. But it's actually a really good one. It has the version 3 triple sensors, solar power and more. It's gotten really good reviews. I actually asked this same durability question myself on this one.
   
2. Casio G-Shock Mudman G9300 (current price: $126): a quality G-Shock, with dual sensors (compass and thermometer, no barometer or altimeter; personally I don't really need those other two). It is also solar. One feature it doesn't have (and which 1 and 3 do have) that I personally find useful is sunrise/sunset times.
   
3. Casio G-Shock Rangeman GW-9400 "Master of G" (current price: $188): One of the most advanced G-Shocks. It is pretty much just an improved Mudman with more features. This one does have the version 3 triple sensors. It is also the only atomic time watch on this list (personally my country is out of the radios range).
   
4. Casio SGW100 (current price: 39$): The cheapest watch on this list, but a good value. From what I read it is a really durable watch, and has 200M WR (most ProTreks only have 100M; all G-Shocks have 200M). The dual sensors (compass and thermometer) are less accurate, and it's missing many other features, but than it's significantly cheaper so the sacrifices could be worth it.
   
5. Other Casio SGWs: there are other Casio SGW watches, SGW300, 400 and 500 – each have two sensors (it varies which two by SGW model), and the last two are analog-digital. All are less durable than the SGW100. There is also SGW1000 which is a new watch that also has version 3 triple sensors and is cheaper than the ProTrek, but the few Amazon reviews so far aren't too bright so I'm not sure about that one.
   
6. There is also the G-Shock GA1000 which is an analog-digital G-Shock with dual sensors, and various more expensive ProTreks (though the only feature I noticed the cheap PRG-270 is really missing is atomic time).
   
   Anyway this was pretty thorough, hope I helped!
   As for me I ended up going with a nice basic G-Shock G2900 plus a watch-strap compass. I just wanted a reliable watch (this one also has 10 years battery) and decided I don't really need those sensors.

I recommend the Suunto Core. I have the all black/negative display version and it is awesome. Like ebbies7 said, you can get a regular display version for ~$150. Also, the Marathon Navigator is a nice black analog with tritium dials. I wear the Core, Navigator and the two below all the time when casual and not wearing a dress watch.

If you really don't want to go above $100, these two are my favorites when I don't want to beat on my Core or Navigator...

Casio SGW100-1V

Don't buy the Army brand watch they sell at the PX, it will break quickly. I have worn this watch through 11b OSUT, 100' underwater, and a ton of other places that should have killed it. I'm sure there are a ton of other watches just as dependable out there, but I can vouch for this one. Whatever you get, make sure it has an alarm and a stopwatch. You'll need both for BCT.
