I would love a watch with a time/date recorder but these seem to be
really expensive. Do all watches in the Rangeman series have this
facility?

The ability to update from radio time signals seems attractive but as
far as I know these do not work offshore. The UK Long Wave MSF  time
signal (that was called Rugby only works around 100 nm offshore I
think. I did however see a very nice electronic module that you could
use to set clocks using your own radio time signal. I was thinking of
using that to update the clocks on the boat as it was very cheap and
could accept time from multiple formats as input. So of course you
could drive it off GPS, but you could also set a master clock off an
HF radio time signal too.
