What Kind Of Watch Do You Wear Fishing?

I tried a thermometer watch decades ago; the readings were grossly inaccurate. I hope they've improved since then. But a stream thermometer is cheap and light, and works as a campsite thermometer.

Chances are, you never recalibrated it for your location...?

I had a Casio Triple Sensor for backpacking years ago. It was "the s#!T" for that time era. Worked great.

They have two or three different models now, all are good, some better. Read reviews.

Ditto on Casio. They've been building some pretty rugged watches for some time now.

The new (and haven't shipped yet) Apple Watch series 2 has GPS built in. It will be interesting to see what internal Apps are developed for that platform.

I LOVE my old Casio Alti/Bar/Temp watch ! Had it for darn near 20 years, change batteries every 3-4 years..good to go.

Here it is in action in Nepal..13,780 feet
56.4 degrees..and the mountains start from there

It really depends on which satchel I'm carrying that day.

I wear a round one, with a leather band. It keeps time. It doesn't take pictures, record the air or water temperature, have a GPS function, nor does it wipe my runny nose. Not everything should multi-task.

I like this, fish until you cannot see or get too hungry. Anything less, is not a full day !

Apple Watch.

retired, don't wear a watch when I fish

I ONLY wear a watch when I fish.

Cheapest one I can find at Wal-Mart.

15 minutes without a strike and something changes....new fly, new fly line, new location etc. Something....always.

Tag Heuer. Good enough for Les so also for me. "The best watches for men and for women." The rest of you animals need not apply.

Just kidding. When I do wear a watch (less than 50%) it's a Casio or a Fit.

I haven't worn a watch in 25 yrs.

I thought the point of being a nudist was to be watched not wear a watch.

Yeah, but have you had a chance to test it yet?

Yikes! You fish naked, except for your watch? Not really a fashion pate, eh Vlad? Myself, when I go fishing, I wear a cheap Timex Expedition that I picked up at the Big 5, and usually some clothes, including my fishing hat.

Retired. Don't care what time it is anymore.

After getting caught up in the watch/gadget fad some years ago I finally realized that the only reason I carried a watch was to tell time. I now wear a simple analog watch, waterproof to 10 meters, shock-proof (so far) with a battery that usually lasts about 5 years. If I recall correctly, I paid about $29 for it.
