What is the most robust ABC Outdoor Watch?
Hi All,
I would like to hear your thoughts about the most robust and long lasting ABC(altimeter barometer compass) watches in the market right now.
I used a Suunto Core All Black 8 years ago and I tore it down in 10 months time.
Appreciate any advice
Cheers

I have had good luck with my Pro Trek PRW2500. It seems to be every bit as tough as my G Shocks.
some g shock variant or pro trek maybe
Maybe unpopular, but the new Apple Watch should be considered based on use case.
I have this Protrek PRG-600-1. It has been with me for more than 5yrs. I have taken it to all kinds of adventure including diving with sea turtles. It hasn't missed a beat. And with tough solar I never had to worry about battery replacement. Got some nicks in the bezel but it has taken all abuse well with flying colors. Most of all I love the design and all the functions it offers. 😊
Garmin Fenix 7. The Fenix line has owned the ABC world since it was launched. However, as @cornfedksboy mentioned, the new Apple Ultra is a pretty compelling offering as well.

That will only last as long as the battery because I don't think it's replaceable.
Same issue with Garmin. Battery can't be replaced as far as I know.
Casios are pretty much the most reliable watches on Earth.
G shock can take more abuse but the fixed straps suck in my opinion.
The pro treks look better, there are fairly small ones and they have real lugs.
I'm just waiting for a fully titanium one.
Meanwhile I'm happy without abc.
Thanks for your comments everyone. Have a great weekend!
