Columbia Outbacker Quartz Watch

Seem's an appropriate use of the dingus--more watches should have them ;- )

Love that the rotating bezel helps keep track of how many points the AUBURN TIGERS score. War Damn Eagle!

For what is worth, in case this watch goes back on sale here. I was on the fence and decided to take a plunge, but thought that $100 was too much of a risk, so I found a vendor in ebay selling the blackout version for $37 and pulled the trigger. In general terms, the watch is not half bad: a japanese quartz movement, fairly clean dial, a partially domed crystal, that "compressor"-type look with the dual crown and the internal bezel, nice up-down curvature on the sides, neat frame on a well-centered date window and good fitting hands complete the package. The lume is so-so and in the blackout version, seeing the cardinal directions on the bezel requires direct sunlight, so I guess you can really use this watch when outdoors during the day, but I guess that's not too much to ask for a watch rated at 165 water resistance and meant to function as a compass too. All in all, would I buy this watch again for $37? Yes, I would. Would I pay $100 for it? Of course not. I hope this helps others on the fence too.
