      Ahhh the WS4....highly functional but feels like a tiny LCD TV strapped to your wrist. Wait, you can actually ride with that???

      Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

          This has been my watch for the past year and half. Its a formal watch for the normal days and then it turns into a ranger's swiss army tool

          Shows temperature, weather, altitude, maps, caller ID .... and best of all change music if the track is boring :-)

          It is IP67 dust and water resistant for upto 1m for 30 mins.

          Changed the leather strap to a black metal one ... wish I had a picture of that.

                It does when you change the watchface ... let me post that those images too. If you want to see right now search for F05 wathcface.

                  I finally replaced my Gear Fit with a Gear S2.
                  The older Gear models had a problem with the charging connectors getting corroded due to sweat. Thankfully Gear S2 has wireless charging.

                    My humble watch collection (Including my wife's watches)

                    L = Ladies
                    G = Gents
                    A = Automatic
                    Q = Quartz
                    W = Winding

                    1st Row
                    1. Omega Speedmaster (GA)
                    2. Tissot PR50 (GA)
                    3. HMT Apoorva Deluxe (GA)
                    4. Titan Ceramic (LQ)
                    5. Tissot PR50 (LQ)
                    6. DKNY (LQ)

                    2nd Row
                    1. Tommy Hilfiger (GQ)
                    2. Tissot 1855 (GQ)
                    3. Timex Expedition (GQ)
                    4. Swatch Irony (LQ)
                    5. Casio (LQ)
                    6. Omega Constellation (LQ)

                    3rd Row
                    1. Casio G Shock (GQ)
                    2. Casio Illuminator (GQ)
                    3. HMT Janata (GW)
                    4. Omega Speedmaster (Fake) (GA)
                    5. Timex (LQ)
                    6. HMT (LQ)

                    4th Row

                        Actually more than have the watches belong to my wife. I'm looking to restore the HMT Janata, my first watch. Any suggestions on how to go about it.

                          Awesome collections of Watches mate. Yes indeed, Casio are the best watches for biking/touring, hiking.

                          I really like watches as well, and from my collection this is my all-time favorite. I call it an all purpose watch: I can wear it on anything and anytime.

                          It's a lot like nuts and bolts - if the rider's nuts, the ride - bolts!

                            I've got a basic Bajaj watch. So far it's been water, dust and shock proof.
