Buying Wenger G-3 Navigator Compass Watch

[Sean Hawkins]

Hello there!

I'm thinking of getting a pair for myself and my wife and have done the usual bit research on the net. I'm getting it for the gadget-ooh-ahh factor rather than for serious trekking/map reading....

Question is: How good is it? I've own some swiss army watches (Wenger and Vics) and must say that the quality ranges from POS to pretty good between different models. I want something that can handle everyday wear and has similar/better quality than swatch.

I'm also wondering where to buy them on-line. The prices range from $110 ~ $204! And many of them will not ship international to Singapore.
(Note: Knifeoutlet has them for $135++)

Any recommendations?

Thanks for any help
Sean

You also might want to look at some of the Casio Protrek Pathfinder models. I have one on the way from a recent trade, and I have had VERY good luck with Casio watches.

This is the ONE that I'm getting:
