10 hours for extreme conditions
Wristwatches are rather delicate items that can be damaged if special precautions are not taken. Magnetic fields, temperature changes, sudden impacts, all this can damage the watch. In a short review below, we will present to your attention watches for extreme sportsmen, which are maximally protected and designed to withstand all of the above.
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2. Has a safety band around the mainspring, limiting the movement of the mainspring when the watch is struck. The clock also has two screws for attaching the spring rod. The spring itself is made of silicon and weighs only one third of the weight of a conventional metal spring. Therefore, hours are more. Shocks are also absorbed by the watch case, which combines an inner container and an outer case made of TiVan15 titanium alloy.
Glashütte Original Sport Evolution Impact Panorama Date. The watch for extreme conditions has four elastomer buffer elements, which are located between the case and the movement. They absorb a percentage of the impact of impacts.
Monaco Twenty-Four Caliber 36. TAG Heuer has developed a so-called dynamic shock absorption system. The mechanism is suspended at all four corners of the square case. Four plastic buffers protect against shocks and especially against vibrations in the range from 1 to 10 Hz.
IWC's Pilot's Watch Double Chronograph protects its movement from magnetic fields with a Faraday Cage and the inside of the case is made of soft iron around the movement.
The Rolex Milgauss has a parachromic spring made from niobium-zirconium alloy with blue oxide, which makes it almost immune to magnetic fields, and an escapement wheel made from amorphous nickel-phosphorus, which is also resistant to magnetization.
Rolex has made its Sea-Dweller Deepsea watch, truly for extreme conditions, which has a level of 3900 meters, 10% thinner than others, using a new manufacturing technology and case design. It consists of three pressure-absorbing elements: a 5.5mm thick sapphire crystal, a 3.28mm thick grade 5 titanium back and an inner ring made of Biodur-108 steel.
Sinn's UX has a liquid-filled hull, making them resistant to water pressure at any depth. The liquid expands as the temperature rises, so the case back is in two parts and contains a membrane that allows the inside to pop out a bit. The clock contains , since the liquid will interfere with the oscillation of the pendulum. The mechanism is also lubricated with a special composition, which allows the watch to function at extreme temperatures from -45 to +80 Celsius.
One of the most water-resistant watches is the “20,000 Feet” model from the CX Swiss Military Watch brand made by Montres Charmex. The watch has an impressive size, 28.5mm thick with a thick bezel.
Ball uses specially blended oils in its models, which allow them to operate in the temperature range from -40 to +60.
How to choose the best watch for hiking, climbing and just outdoor activities. Overview of popular models and manufacturers, characteristics. Suunto, Casio G-shock and Pro Treck.
The most famous manufacturers of watches for outdoor activities.
Casio G-shock and Pro Treck series
One of the most popular travel watch brands are Casio G-shock and Pro Treck watches. The first watch model of this series was released back in 1983 and since then a huge number of watch models have been released. G-shcok watches have a recognizable angular-brutal look. There are models with arrows and without. The filling of the watch is also very different, you can buy the simplest watch for $70 or even cheaper, or the most sophisticated watch for $1000 or more.
Suunto
Another well-deserved brand is the Finnish company Suunto, which has been producing watches since 1936. It specializes in watches for mountaineering, hiking, diving and other activities. These watches are very popular among climbers. Their only "disadvantage" is the price which starts from $100 for the simplest models. Clock with barometer. altimeter and compass will cost from $300.
highgear
The American company Highgear also specializes in sports watches for tourists. The watches of this company are characterized by rich functionality and a relatively low price; a fully functional watch can be bought for $150. I tried this watch during a motorcycle trip in Zakopane (Poland) and trekking in the High Tatras. I liked the watch, I did not find any particular shortcomings, the accuracy of the barometer and altimeter readings is quite accurate (after calibration on the ground). But unfortunately then they drowned while diving in the Philippines.
Origo
Another watch manufacturer is Origo, founded by an English yachtsman with many years of experience, who strives to make watches using the most modern technologies, while maintaining a low price. There are models for hunters and fishermen that show the phases of the moon, the time of sunset / sunrise, etc. There are also models for tourists - with a compass, altimeter and barometer. Price from 65 to 250$. Unfortunately they are difficult to buy outside the UK.
Polar
It is also worth mentioning Polar brand heart rate watches, which are designed more for training than for hiking and climbing.
Garmin
The well-known manufacturer of GPS receivers Garmin also releases its line of wristwatches equipped with a GPS receiver.
Separate models for extreme conditions are produced by many watch companies, but these models are not so common. These include Citizen Promaster, Timex Expedition, Sector Mountain Master, Emporio Armani Sports and many more.
An active lifestyle involves constant movement and the need to monitor health. Watches for tourism from the Finnish company Suunto will become a faithful companion on a journey and hiking through the forest, mountains, desert.
Devices are used by athletes, tourists, just active and advanced people. If you are one of them, choose Suunto smart gadgets and enjoy life every day!
Benefits of Suunto hiking watches
- Compactness. All models of watches for tourism are universal. Suitable for everyday life and training. Pay attention to Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR Black, Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR Gold, Suunto FusedSpeed.
- Multifunctionality. Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist, Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR Forest Special Edition show the exact time, measure the heart rate, are used as a navigator and compass, and are combined with electronic applications.
- Wide range of operating modes. Suunto Traverse Alpha has several operating modes: for fishing, tourism, sports.
- Waterproof. Take them with you on a fishing trip or to the pool. Suunto Spartan Trainer Wrist HR, Suunto Spartan Ultra Copper Special Edition HR will work even after diving to a depth of 100 meters.
From the Siberian taiga to the South African steppes. Modern devices determine the time with an accuracy of a hundredth of a second and work in any weather conditions. Watches for hunters are produced by such companies as Finnish Suunto, Japanese Casio and Citizen, as well as American companies Timex and Garmin. Mechanical models with high levels of water resistance and shock protection are suitable for hunters, but such watches lose in functionality to the same Casio or Suunto and rather play the role of a universal tool in long city walks and tourist outings.
The case of a solid hunting watch is made of durable polymer materials and protects accurate and fragile meteorological and navigational instruments. Compasses, barometers, altimeters orient in space and track changes in the weather, which helps the traveler not to get lost in the forest or in the swamp, return to the parking lot before dusk, take shelter in time from impending bad weather, do not freeze and do not wet supplies. When choosing a hunting watch, consider:
- body strength and glass material
- navigational instruments, primarily the compass
- availability of barometers, thermometers, altimeters
- moon phase indicators and sunrise and sunset calculators
- timers, stopwatches, chronographs, alarm clocks
- display backlight or built-in flashlight
- button sizes and watch weight
There is only one universal characteristic - reliability. It makes no sense to trust life to a watch that will break on the way and leave the traveler without a compass and accurate time. For the rest of the points, the person selects the model himself. Let's say size. Hunting, tourist and other survival watches are large in size. On average, their diameter is 50 mm, and the height of the case is about 15 mm. Size plays a decisive role in the choice of winter equipment, since quartz timepieces are worn under the sleeve of warm clothing to protect against temperature shock, which occurs at -14 ° C. Massive watches are uncomfortable to wear under a thick layer of clothing, at the same time, large pushers are easy to wear. pressed in thick gloves or mittens. There are many such subtleties, and before buying, check out the detailed specification to find strengths and weaknesses.
Model overviews
Suunto
The only company that makes gadgets specifically for hunters and fishermen and builds an appropriate marketing strategy. The Finnish company offers a watch with a built-in GPS-navigator, a lightweight and durable case and a display protected by sapphire crystal. The watches are presented in two lines Suunto Traverse Alpha and Suunto Traverse. The main advantage is navigation on GPS and GLONASS satellites. The method is also called "breadcrumb", as the program marks the coordinates at regular intervals, recording the change of direction and the distance traveled from the nearest marker. On the route, you can leave points of interest, for example, mark a place with traces of wild animals. The watch provides synchronization with a smartphone and tablet. You can plan your route ahead of your trip with the Movescount app. Finally, the software automatically counts the shots fired and marks them on the map.
At the same time, the disadvantages of Suunto are an extension of their strengths. With this functionality, the batteries run out in an average of four days, and the watch is practically useless on long expeditions. They are suitable for hunters who are planning a trip for 2-3 days, no more.
Smart watch with GPS navigator. Garmin and Suunto offer almost identical gadgets, but Garmin has a better display that does not glare in the sun. Plus, the company offers Wi-Fi synchronization and an external antenna for communication with navigation satellites. Batteries last for a day, if you continuously receive a GPS signal, and in energy-saving mode - for 2-3 weeks. In general, the choice between Garmin and Suunto is a matter of taste.
Casio
The best value for money is offered by a Japanese company. For $200-500, the buyer gets an effective gadget with an impressive set of functions. For hunters, models from the G-Shock Mudmaster, Pro Trek and Pathfinder lines are suitable. Choosing the best of them is not an easy task.
The most interesting and at the same time indicative model is Casio Pro Trek PRW-5000T-7E. It combines both stylish design and utilitarian features. Thanks to solar panels, energy is enough for as much as 5 years, and during this time a minimum of scratches and other defects will appear on the stainless steel and polymer rubber case. An obvious drawback of the design is the large size and sensitivity to temperature changes. In cold climates, where temperatures drop to -30°C, these watches are strictly worn under warm clothing. However, this drawback is inherent in almost all quartz chronometers. Otherwise, the buyer receives a reliable product with a compass, barometer and altimeter that will not break at a critical moment.
Casio PAG240-1CR Pathfinder Triple Sensor Multi-Function regularly found in reviews and authoritative tops. Budget travel watch. For only $250, the owner gets a powerful, SUV-like watch with a barometer and compass. Silent alarm clock does not disturb the silence of the wild. In the Pro Trek series in 2016, a modified model of the same Casio Pro Trek PRG-240-1E watch was released.
Casio G-shock Mudmaster. G-Shock is such a legendary series that it needs no comment. Specifically, these models are interesting for their large buttons and water resistance up to 200 meters, otherwise they are no different from typical Casio products - indestructible, massive, functional. The G-shock Mudmaster series is suitable for winter tourism. Perhaps this is one of the few lines with protection from temperatures below -20 ° C. The price range is from $200 to $1000.
Finally, the Pro Trek Smart Outdoor WSD-F20. Direct competitor to Garmin Fenix and Suunto. They support GPS and GLONASS navigation, display geographical maps on the display, synchronize with smartphones and tablets, receive mail and calls. All in all, a personal assistant for the busy hunter, so that he does not forget about important things when shooting ducks and partridges.
timex
The Timex Expedition Shock Digital Compass Watch sells for just $60-70, which is why it was included in the review. Yes, there are also inexpensive models of survival watches with a compass and a negative (inverse) display. They are durable enough to withstand being submerged in water and hitting a hard surface, which is not bad for a first acquaintance with this type of device.
At the end of the review are Breitling Emergency with a built-in driving beacon, focused on the international rescue and search system Compass-Sarsat. The USSR, the USA, Canada and France participated in the development of the system, which guarantees a wide geographical coverage. Initially, the device was developed for pilots and sailors, but it will also suit travelers whose road passes through the taiga, wild steppe or desert. There are no analogues to watches, they send an alarm signal in case of a disaster, to which rescue services are obliged to respond.
The analog watch with an additional display is made in a massive metal case and is equipped with a SuperQuartz quartz movement, which is characterized by increased accuracy due to the built-in thermal compensator. The Night Mission model is made of titanium alloy, which protects the built-in direction finder in critical situations. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the analog dial. The only drawback is the water resistance of only 5 atmospheres, which is not enough for this type of device.
Conclusion
The purpose of the review is to orient the buyer in products designed to survive in critical situations. Kinetic watches, such as the Seiko Sun007 Kinetic Wrist Watch, and mechanical watches with a high strength index were left out of the brackets. Ultimately, the hunter may well use Hanowa Swiss Military or Tissot watches, which are recommended on thematic forums. We tried to collect in the review the most revealing gadgets with a wide range of functions, user-friendly design and flexible price. For short trips to nature, Suunto and Garmin Fenix watches are suitable, and for experienced hunters who walk through the taiga for weeks, it is better to stop at Casio products or purchase Breitling Emergency.
