    Question Analog Compass Alarm Watch: Recommend

    Can anyone recommend a "nice" looking analog watch that has a built in compass and has the ability to set an alarm. I'd prefer this to be under 300 US, but am flexible. I do like the Timex "Fly-Back Chronograph Compass" watches, but they don't appear to have an alarm feature.

    This watch I am looking for could also have digital features, but the clock itself should be analog.

    Links to other sites selling such a watch would be great (if this forum permits)

    Kind regards,
    Jim

    Tossot T-touch is what you are looking for. A little bit more expensive than your limit.

    I love that compass on the T-Touch. Great watch to go traveling with for the compass. And the alarm is quite loud.

    I love this watch so much, I sold off most of my mechanicals. I wear this almost every day now. You may be able to find one used on the WUS sales forum, but it's going to cost you more than your limit. Worth it though, it's easy to use, has many useful functions and it's super accurate:

    Thank you all! The Tissot looks great, I will have to save a bit more. I doubt the wife will be too happy with the look of the Casio, she doesn't want me to wear anything that looks too techy/busy.

    Thanks again

    Get a GShock and stick one of these on it - if sport/functionality is really all you need: Watch Strap Compass | Ubergizmo

    Or a Gshock Mudman? Sounds like you are looking for an outdoorsy watch
    No they're lying - there ISN'T anything better than watches to spend your money on!
