In addition to the D and R variants of the AMW320 (D model is HERE) I also, basically on impulse, threw in a Pathfinder Hunting Timer model PAS410B.

The watches claim to fame is that it recommends the "best" hunting times based on moonphase, sunrise and sunset time, and season. I can't vouch for the veracity of this information, but two co-workers own Hunting Timers, and they assure me it's no joke. One, in particular, is almost fanatic in his belief in the info the Casio provides. It also has a sort of "diary" or "logbook" function, being capable of storing 40 "Memos" where you can mark time and location of game observed (or bagged).

The Instruction Manual / User Guide in PDF format is HERE, and explains all.

But even if you don't use the Hunting features, one could think of this as a Perpetual Calendar Moonphase watch on steroids. I am smiling... Since you enter latitude and longtitude, it is able to provide accurate-to-the-minute sunrise and sunset times. This is, I think, my favorite feature of the watch. Thumbs Up!

The strap attachment design is quite interesting..


Never seen anything quite like it. As I'm not a fan of velcro straps, I will probably mod this..


..to accept a 24mm NATO at some point. Looks like it should be a piece o' cake! {knocks on wood} I am smiling...

All in all..

P.s. - Wal-Mart ostensibly stocks this watch. Thing is, they seem to sell out in a heartbeat, as I've never actually seen one there. I'm told they go for $58 at Wally-World, making Amazon's ~ $31 price look mighty attractive. I am smiling... I've recieved 2 offers for this thing already, and could've sold it for a substantial profit in both cases. Might be an opportunity to earn a little beer money by reselling these things? I am confused... Crazy, man!

>>more comfortable setup than my G-shock, which is bigger and thicker. I don't really get along with the resin band of that watch.

Definitely more wearable than the average G-Shock... Post contains photos (views: 33)

Maybe it's just me, but I found the OEM resin straps on the two G-shocks that I've owned to be uncomfortable to the point of being unwearable. I am sad...

Mind you, while I'm not a fan of rubber / resin straps in general, I do find most to be at least tolerable. But not these. Scary!
