I love a good tech watch, but no one wants to look like the kid who had the calculator watch in high school. A handy tip to avoid this fate is to purchase a watch that has the name Army in it, this will announce to your friends it is not a pollen tester. The Sportech series from Swiss Army touts tons of functionality and oozes ruggedness. Especially the Sportech 4000 featured above. Water resistant to 30m, altimeter, barometer, temperature gage, chrono, alarm, luminous hands, bat cable (optional). Go Gadget Watch Go! CTWG

May the Quartz Be with You

Yeah, some watch guys don’t seem to take a liken to the quartz movements. They may feel that the traditional approach to watches is the true watch art. I understand this position, but CTWG also feels the evolution of watches is part of the fun. Seeing the Hamilton Electric, Accutrons, and even auto-quartz versions of watches is part of the grand watch story. Without this evolution we could not appreciate what watch makers of the past have truly accomplished, the movement that brought the industry to it’s knees deserves a little attention and respect, in my humble opinion. Check out a few of the new quartz options: Tissot, Omega, Swiss Army and many others do wonderful things with the quartz versions of their watches. Add a Quartz to your collection, and let the quartz be with you. CTWG
