My Timex Ironman just doesn't cut it, and before I spend $1500 on an Omega X-33 with an 80 db alarm, I'd like a $40 option, thank you very much. :)

Seriously, any ideas?
 
That D2 is a bit to funked-out for my tastes, but the D.5 looks like a winner. Where does it say how loud it is?
 
There was an ad in an issue of Outside magazine (don't remember which issue) that stated the D2's alarm loudness at 80db. I'm not sure what the D.5's is. Oakley's customer service at 1.800.403.7449 should be able to give you an answer.
 
To each his own, but geez, that D2 got hit with an ugly stick... :D :p

In the Military section, though, those Assault Boots remind me alot of the Adidas GSG-9s.
 
most excellent fellow AZ dude brother!!! go to
Arizona Mills Mall in PHX and you"ll find a
very fine Casio Store that sells reconditioned
G SHOCK Watches....they have them in all colors
and they are indestructible!!! Their alarms are
so freaking loud too!!! I think you can program
them for more than one alarm too...Don't let
the word "reconditioned" "alarm" you (Ha ha)
these watches are in perfect condition...now the
best part...they are about 1/3 the cost of a new
one...go dude go!!!! also full warranty and box!:p
 
Actually, I'd have to agree with Casio. I have a cheap Casio watch that wakes me up every time I need it to.

The Casio would be great if function is all you want, but don't go expecting good looks!
 
Thanks for all the advice- yardboy, I don't think I'm going very far around phoenix today- that monsoon we had last night has left the trees, street signs, and WATER everywhere.

But we really did need some rain around here.
 
Tissot T-Touch-

My T-Touch has a pretty loud alarm. The loudest I've ever heard on a watch, although the Breitling B-1 is reported to have a very loud alarm as well.
 
I find it too easy to ignore audible alarms; when I really have to wake up on time, I use the alarm on my old pager with a vibrating alert; I jump out of bed brushing bees off- :D
