GPS speedo wrist watch ?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a waterproof GPS speedo wrist watch.
needs to show GPS speed in big nummers on the screen (when doing 70mph+ ) Off course a history log and computerconnection so you can plot your boattrip and all sorts of graphs.

I'd like it as a gadget, and also as my own objective speedcomparison tool between boats. I'm thinking of max 200€, unless their is a device out there that blows me away as a must-have.

I 've just started searching and found something at Garmin :
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=30026

Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks !
T.

Why no chearch for a second hand chardplotter , you can find them for about 250euro , this will also give you dept , and a great log of the route you made with speed details , also mighty handy when sudden fog apears

Some folks at Zele have one of those. May be a different model though.
Check theirs out and ask if they like it or not!

Any smartphone with a GPS will do all of that.
