Post My watch score of the night...
So I have been looking for a watch as of recent. Needed something to beat on cause it seems more and more I am in a location/situation in remote areas with a rifle that I don't have my phone on me and needed something to track time and such. Nothing super fancy but wanted to spend as little as possible, like $50 or so, but for the right one would have spent a couple/few hundred depending on my mood. Doing a lot of research and general consensus from the guys in the desert or any extreme environment was either spend $500+ on a good watch to last a lifetime or spend $100ish on a Casio G Shock that will last longer than I will have it before I loose it.

I looked at several ranging from $40 to $150ish and could never decide if I wanted to spend the bigger money on a watch but I really liked the spendier ones with some of the nice features.

Well, was at Fred Meyer in Oregon City tonight and they had a few on clearance for 60% off the lowest marked price. (They are in the middle of remodeling the store so there is a lot of stuff on clearance) Anyways, they had this G shock, price tag of $149.99, marked down to $112.47, I walked out with it for about $44. I'm pretty stoked with that deal.
