Well with another watch at the bottom of the wet stuff I now need a new watch. I want one that looks OK (well as good as any digital ever can) and has a countdown with a sync feature. It also has to have a moulded strap (i.e. no pins that can get knocked out) and no velcro. Suggestions? Rick |

i have a Timex Iornman analogue/digital watch, got it from P&B it looks pretty good as well as having a decent strap which i dont think i could break (moulded round the casing so no pins). The only negative side is the fact that it doesn't have a sync button, but i just tend to start it off the second gun using the 1st as a warning.

I use the Optimum Ultimate Classic Watch whcih I fix to the mast. It has a large display making it easy to see even from the wire.

i use a cheap casio thing from argos. its got tides on it too. it hasnt died in 3 years of being worn for school, sailing and the occaisonal rugby training session so it must be ok. no sync button though. it says casio sea pathfinder on the back and was only a tenner o i reckon its doing ok.

If your worried about the pins coming out, I drill holes through where the pins went and tie it on with whipping twine (mine is a cheap £10 watch too)

i use the original optimum time yellow effort, i always have and never had issues with it. Has both big display and sync function. There are new versions out this year that you may want to look into they have dual line read outs im not sure what info is given to you but could be worth looking into as hte watches have always been aimed strictly at competitive sailing and have been designed to be as ideal as they need to be.

You guys are not reading the question ... I want one that looks OK as well. I don't think the big yellow is in that bracket ... |

Optimum do one with an integrated strap so you wont loose the pins. Also comes in charcoal. |

Suunto - a bit expensive but does the things you want, looks ok and, depending which model you buy, has plenty of stuff you don't need too.
