Yes Garmin is a bit over the top and certainly high end. I personally prefer the Casio G-SHOCK watches I've had over the years. They are usually difficult to program/use, but they last years without charging, are rugged as hell, and provide all the outdoor functions I need. Oh, and you can actually read the Cassio dial when out side in direct sunlight!

• Tie clasps that connect with a Samsung smartphone
• Ladies earings that connect with a Samsung smartphone
• Babies pacifiers that connect with a Samsung smartphone, just in case he wants to check his stock portfolio
• Toilette bowls that connect with a Samsung smartphone, just in case you get an important call while dropping a deuce
