Non GPS/ Internet capable Wristwatch for RASP

Post by JamesGarafalo »

I bought a new watch with a GPS compass that I'm going to return today because I just got my packing list for RASP. Does anyone have information on if watches with a non-GPS compass are condoned, frowned upon, preferred, etc. Any specific model I should look into getting or not getting?

I do not have much experience with these new GPS gizmos; but you have not posted a SITREP about your training. Never, never quit!

Buy a watch that you don't mind getting broken.

@JamesGarafolo I'm currently in Rasp and no watches with any GPS, compass, pedometer, or anything of that sort. Just get a basic watch that just tells the time, has an alarm, etc.
