Was looking for recommendations on a good watch from swimming in. Mostly it will be for open water, but I may use it for pool workouts too. The biggest function would be just a stopwatch which most all have, but it would be nice for a countdown function (to signal every 10, 20 minutes, etc for OW training). A HR function would be nice too but I know then it gets to be a bit pricey. I would like to put a $150 cap on it and see what you all come up with.
I'm a bit of a watch collector (have bought and sold dozens) so I'm familiar with many of them. Try to stay away from large, bulky watches like "some" of the G-Shocks, etc.
Post pics and/or links as well if you have them handy!
