I'm not really a digital watch fan, but today I picked up a Casio PWA1100
This is a large watch and it has a ton of features
Here's the list from Casio's website
Here are the Barometer, Altimeter, digital Compass buttons
The sensors for making it work
This watch lists for $300, Amazon has it for $240...
The thrift store had it for $7
Its pretty fun to play with and everything seems accurate, temperature, altitude etc
At the same time I picked up this Suisse watch
Cant find much info on it, so its probably just a cheap fashion watch.
Has an interesting crystal, it is sort of diamond cut
Not sure what the Intl Flag Codes is all about??? Must be a "sailing" watch??
The back....I peeled the $4.99 price tag off so I could see what it says..
Two watches for $12...cant complain about that
