What are the good fishing watches
I'm trying to find a good digital watch that I can use while fishing. I've been using my phone lately but keep getting it wet. I've been eyeing these fishing watches (http://www.mywatchvilla.com/best-fishing-watches/) but want your opinion first. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Re: What are the good fishing watches
Never really thought about the need for a specific fishing watch. For way over 20 years, my fishing watch was my watch, as I only had one watch at a time, typically a cheap and cheerful Seiko on a bracelet.
Nowadays for Game or Coarse fishing I am happy to wear any of my non dress watches, although more often than not I pick a chronograph.
For Seafishing I tend to wear a Seiko SKX or a Trident, as there are too many hard objects on a boat that could cause damage, if it was rough and we were slipping around the deck.
My only other criteria is that the watch needs to be on a bracelet or NATO, to make it easier to clean the watch afterwards.

On a bracelet so when you get home you can wash the fish scud off it and you'd never know whereas a rubber strap could hold onto that minging old rotten fish smell for quite a while ?nbg wrote:Seiko on a bracelet.
I think I know where you're coming from Neil
