Finally have something exciting to mention again ;) (partially a joke, getting a new watch was NOT the most exciting thing that happened in the past year! Just sometimes really loose interest to update my blog).
I got a new watch, the:
Suunto Advizor
Initially I thought of getting a watch with just a heart rate monitor. But then when my girlfriend mentioned she would be interested in other functions (e.g. digital compass) that obviously got me interested in these functions as well. There ain't too many choices out there when you want a watch that has heart rate monitor, digital compass, altitude, barometer etc. But did think this particular watch would be far above the budget I had in mind... Did check around in several stores, and thought I would end up giving all the watches I had seen some more thought. But then we came in the last shop (inside Sino centre). They were the first shop that had the Advizor in stock. Did check the prize even thou expecting it to be not too far off from the 3750HK$ suggested retail, turned out they asked 2580HK$ for it. At that point started to become quite hard to resist to get it ;). Still compared it with a T6 series watch (even thou that one is even more expensive...). Finally decided I would get it if they lowered the price just a little bit more, so finally got the watch for 2550HK$ (seems to me a really good deal?; please no comments mentioning you got it cheaper some other place because that would really make me feel bad ;).
Comments about the watch so far: it does have a lot of functions....a manual as thick as the bible... So still haven't figured out how to work anything beyond the basics. Still have some reading to do before can really put it through the test during any upcoming hiking practice or maybe during my upcoming holiday...
