Tissot T-Touch Compass, Berometer, Chrono, alarm, Altimeter, Thermometer, Analogue and digital. This one is titanium on rubber with black coating. They make several types though. Good luck!

Suunto Observer. Be aware most watches you need to remove from your wrist to get an accurate temperature reading. The observer is very accurate BTW . . .off the wrist:)
 
Check out Horoswiss. The compass is awesome for its size.
 
OOOoooohhh! Love that Mudman. I have the basic model without a compass. I think I'll have to do some research on this one.

You cant go wrong with a Suunto or Casio.

Ive owned the Casio Protrek PRG-240 and PAG-40, and the Suunto Vector and Core.

You cant go wrong with either brand, but i highly recommend a solar Casio Protrek or the Suunto Core. Both are very precise watches with accurate sensors.

Beware though, that every ABC watch needs to be taken of the wrist for app. 15-20 mins to give an accurate temp reading.

Only 2 ive got left is the Core and 240.

The solar powered Casio Protrek PRG-240, here in altitude mode and with meters gained.

The Casio Protrek PAG-40. Here in baro/temp mode.

The Suunto Core. Here in the cool freediving mode, that show max depth, current depth and log/temp/time.

Didn't know the core came in a positive display like that.

I'm looking at either the Casio PAW2000 or a Suunto Core. Haven't actually had the chance to handle the casio but I did get to check out the core a couple of weeks ago. It felt relatively flimsy and cheap compared to most of the casios I've handled. It looked great but I question it's durability.

My version is called the Core Regular Black. They come in all sorts of colors and with/without a compass bezel.

I was also of the impression, that Suuntos are not as durable as Protreks. I think Casio's G-Shock line plays into the equation. If the G-Shock is as tough as it is, then the Protrek has to be pretty tough too, right? A Protrek also looks much more "agricultural" and heavy-duty compared to the sleek Core.

I havent had mine for so long, but my first impressions are, that its as robust as the Protreks. So far, ive worn mine on hiking trips, to the gym and spearfishing in 45 F cold seas. It hasnt missed a beat so far.

On the job we get a discount on select Suunto models, so almost everybody at work is wearing the Core. They are exposed to a little bit of everything, but ive never heard of single complaint about the Core, much less a return.

Thanks! Input is much appreciated. The core just looks so sleek and cool to me. Have to wait until Xmas though.

How's the battery life on the core?

I think ive read that it should last for about 1½ years. Probably less if you play around with it all the time, like i do.

It has a low battery indicator on the screen, so you wont be caught off guard. The nice thing about the Core is, that its user servicable. You just grab a coin, multitool or anything else that´ll fit in the slot and unscrew. Pop in a new CR2032 battery and youre good to go. Its he next best thing after solar-power.
 
Also look at highgear watches. you can see them at rei

their altimeter is better than suunto and casio (at least it was 4 years ago). i have owned all of them. i had a titanium t-touch. very nice looking watch. touch sensor never worked right. returned it and got high gear which is still going years later.

band is durable and has an easy to replace battery.

note that all the thermometers will be affected by wrist wear to some degree.
 
If you like the analog style look better, the Timex E-tide (now called intelligent-quartz or something) has temp, compass and tide clock.
