What watch to choose for christmas

[Wolrabs]

Hi,

I am getting a new watch for christmas, lucky boy that I am, and wondered what the best choice is.

I have been considering the Casio Sport RFT-100-2VER Phys Referee/Multi-Sport Watch.

Does anybody else have any suggestions.

Cheers

Sean

If you can find somewhere that's still selling the RFT-100, go for it, and then tell me so I can get hold of a spare. Can't recommend it enough.

What type of price range do you have?
And also what do you want it to do?

Do you mean one like THIS? :wink:

I was looking for one of these last year (I couldn't find one at the time) so ended up buying a Casio G-Shock. The G-Shock really is a brilliant watch, if only it had a vibrate facility, it would be perfect.

Or this at Amazon.co.uk - only one left, so you'll ahve to fight among yourselves. Let us know how that turnss out.

MY budget is about £45 and yes that is the watch I am looking at. Can't believe it is going so fast on Amazon!

I bought the Casio via Amazon in September.

The supplier was Sendercity from Stanmore Middlesex on 0844 8040707

Hope this helps.

Is it any good?

I have two, and I think they are great. Plastics straps don't last forever, and they have to be sent to Casio for replacement at a cost of aboout £18. Most reasonable (and often much cheaper) digital watches will do many of the functions equally well. IMO you need a countdown timer that will go from 7 minute halves to 40 minute halves, and at the same time it helps if you can see the current time, have some way of timing sin bins and/or blood bins (the latter less necessary as you can use real time rather than game time) and perhaps also keep a running stopwatch going. The RFT-100 can do all that, but most of choose to simplify matters by wearing two watches. By so doing, you can get two much cheaper watches, which will each do the things you reserve for that wrist.

I have 3 RFT 100's. Had two, lost one, bought another, found the lost one

Brilliant watches. Don't use anything else if you can afford them.

Got one for christmas and had lots of fun playing with it. Can't wait to use it properly!
