Surfriding Best wrist watch for jet skiing?

[JamesG]

I'm looking for a reasonably priced (around $100 roughly) wrist watch for surfriding. I figure metal and leather probably won't cut it, so perhaps plastic or silicone. I have never bought a watch so I'm in need of a little guidance. I basically just need it to handle the obvious: saltwater, impacts, and have a stop watch for competitions. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Maybe one of these. I don't have one, but my father uses one for river diving.

I have a couple of G shocks, they are awesome and I havent broken any.

target walmart and just get a 20-50$ watch. I've got one that gets powered but the sun for $35 3 years ago and leave in on my handle bars and its still working great

Casio G shock all the way....

Another for a G-Shock. I've had mine for years. I even dropped one off of the roof of a hotel and it survived. 8+ stories up. Hey, I was a kid when I did it.

Any waterproof surf type watch. What about the new champion timepieces watches?

 

[SmittySX]

Easy. Rolex.

 

[zimmy]

Um, yeah, champion time piece... Its made by a rider for the surf riding community....

 

[MCrider]

Can you pick up a champion timepiece watch for 100$?

 

[JamesG]

I'd love a champion timepiece, but they run for $350. Unfortunately I can't swing that with a new build on the way. Looks like a badass watch though.

The cheaper Nixons even tell you the tide

Yo James, check this one out: http://www.amazon.com/Casio-PAW1300...TF8&qid=1405295866&sr=8-3&keywords=PAW1500-1V

It is lil over 100, but that imo is the watch you want. It is as tough as Gshock but more elegant and not as bulky. Its got everything you could think of.
Shows tides as well.

You know those guys trying to put Freeride into mainstream outlets.... I think there called champion time something.

 

[Quinc]

Get one of these so your whole crew can tell the time.

I'm gonna get a champion here soon. But these rip curl tide watches are the poop. I own 3 and never had a problem with them. I like the smaller one for riding. It's the ats trestles ocean search. Think I got it for 150
