One word Suunto. This watch saved my ass many times.

- Personal Experience.
I paid over 500$ USD for my Suunto X9m and it was worth every penny.

Granted by this time it is coming apart a little.
(Which was due in part from my dog getting ahold of it)

But the watch still runs beautifully even after suffering the tortures of my black lab. My home was also broken into one night and the guy tried to attack me with a bat. I put my arm up and the bat hit the watch.
It came out of that without A scratch on it.

- Products.
Some of there watches have inductive charging.
As well as the ability to hookup the watch to A computer and use it with google maps.

I highly recommend you look at their entire line.

Just a tip.
You can pickup the X10m (Military version (with military GPS) for 400 off ebay.

The main difference between the regular X10 and the X10m is the military GPS is specifically calibrated to search for satellites in other parts of the globe. The X10m is also pressurized differently and has A better tolerance to harsh environments and is more water resistant.

Suunto also has A badass product chooser located here.

PS:

Here are the specs on the X10

o Use the improved GPS with stronger signal and quicker fix for safe navigation
o Keep your hands free with the smallest, lightest outdoor GPS wristop computer
o Monitor altitude, barometric pressure, up to 50 routes, 500 waypoints, and tracks, as well as speed, and distance with precision
o Record your journey and share it on Google Earth™
o Includes altimeter, barometer and compass functions
o Take your time on the trail with the longer lasting battery
o Water resistant up to 100 meters / 330 feet

Kind Regards,
XDS

By the way:

If wrist top computers are not really your style you could check out the new subaqua reserve venom.

It has many of the features of the Subaqua Noma III ...
...(One of the most expensive watches in the known world)

Except for the true moon phase and crown clasp.
At 1/10th the price.

Don't let the crown fool you either it screws down.
