i want this one:
it comes with a digital compass, altimeter, thermometer, barometer and other usual options available on a watch: clock, alarm, chrono, light, but it appears to be real big(54mm wide, 60mm tall, 17mm high)

Why? Typical battery powered watches last for 5 years or more. if you are still in a SHTF situation after 5 years, you don't relaly need to know what time it is anymore.

it's not only about the time or date, but also the other mentionned options: compass, altimeter, temperature... BTW, you look really cool when you can tell date and time to someone who wanted to know for a long time

I always try to avoid any equip that needs batteries for my emerg. preps. My radio is a cranker. My lites are kerosene. No lasers or EOtech on my rifles,etc. It's just my thing. The only thing I'll have to have batteries for is my walkies...I hope!!
