    yes , there are too many things around us today ... from the railway clock to the mobile phone to tell us the time . BUT you can't safely take out your mobile phone while riding to check time , I usually will switch off my phone while riding a bike or while driving for safety.
    Also in daytime riding I wear polarised sunglasses (serengeti driver's), which makes it near impossible to read LCD displays .
    It has been my experience that whenever the going gets tough and I am in most need to check the time like I am riding on a highway thru no-where or in hurry thru traffic to make it to office in the last 2 mins before the office-computer marks me "late" or I am posted to a village on election-duty or I am riding to distant client-site thru incessant rain .... the watch on my wrist is my only reasonable means to check time quickly and intuitively . So I have and always will wear a wristwatch , unless I am asleep , when it's kept on the bedside. We have many friends in easy times . For me , the friend who's always there in my difficult times ; is the friend to keep .

      I have no idea if these watches are available in India, though. Anyone interested could enquire on the company website.

        Hmt's manual-winds/automatics have the parashock mechanism ( citizen's equivalent of the swiss Incabloc shock protection system ) and they are marked so on the dials , not on the rajat though .
        Yes , I have selected the casio g-shock model DW-5600E-1VQ or DW-5600EG-9VS , only have to find some time to actually go find the casio shop in kolkata and get it .

              You can use one which you like from the Expedition range.

              This is the one I am talking about:

              Thanks friends for suggesting me timex expedition,but however in shop the saleman suggested casio ws300 over the expedition and i liked its autolight function which is a boon for me in night riding

                Congrats bro .. very impressive watch you have there .
                Only one thing I could dislike ( as a habitual dislike finder ) is how the day/date/mnth lcd panel unnecessarily intrudes into that beautiful analogue dial (at the bottom) . They could have easily fitted it with a tiny common analogue day/date panel @ usual 6'O clock position and it would have been a just perfect clear analogue dial . Who needs to chk his wristwatch for the month anyway .

                    Thanks fro sharing the valuable details. This information is really helpful for the bikers. I have been wearing this wrist watch for the last two years and it's really a great watch.

                      What is your favourite watch?

                      Watches are one of the most precious accessories that almost everyone need in their life. I think high quality watch can last years. I would like to know what brand and model do you find to be the best value?

                                This is what I mostly use (apart from my Swatch Irony).
                                Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Shows me the time and date. All I need from a watch.
