The line-up

  1. 1

    FKM Tropic-style rubber straps (UK Straps, eBay)

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's own

    Very soft, supple and comfortable with quick-release spring bars, and just the same as a £100 Tropic for 12 or 13 quid.

  2. 2

    Casio Duro / Marlin MDV106

    8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's own

    50 quid for a 200 metre watch, bulletproof on a daily, and on this FKM it looks great: the perfect holiday watch.

  3. 3

    Doxa Sub 300T Professional

    8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's own

    Not quite a perfect colour match, but absolutely proper, and it's on my wrist daily.

In his words

"I'd rather save up the money, buy a new twerp."
