Watch Recommendations

[U.S.Marine2111]

I have a few G-Shocks, I love them. They are one of only two style watches that I haven't destroyed. The other being an old LL Bean watch, about 15 years old, back when they still came with a screw down crown, I broke the glass once, but I was using it like a dumbass.

My choice would be an old analog pocketwatch or wristwatch that can be wound.
1) more water resistant if there are no electronic components
2) never lose power if it's not powered by a battery
3) if it breaks, it's all mechanical and with some dexterity you can fix almost anything

Exactly! Mechanical is much better IMHO. No battery, just wind and go.

I don't wear a watch because I don't care about the time and all you clowns are wearing one anyway so I'll just ask if I should find myself caring what time it is.

LL Bean backs those 100%. I have two of those and they even replace the batterys for free. I have them for back up. I wear a Rolex Explorer II give to me my a happy hunter, a very happy hunter.

Was she cute?

[Sourdough]

Was a He, and I don't remember what his name was, or what he looked like. Odd how I just have a vague memory of the hunters, but I remember the hunts, (what happened). Never wanted to guide women one on one, but guided several Husband and wife parties.

Seiko Automatic Dive Watch. Bought mine over 30 years ago. No batteries, no winding, can withstand everything I've put it through.

Is that it? $500.00 for a watch? For that price it should come out in the woods and fix dinner for me.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for a watch! I'll keep my sundial ring

[Rick]

Hey! I have one of those, too. Pretty cool ain't they?

[Beo]

Love it bro,

[Gray Wolf]

I don't!!! Every time I put the stick through my wrist it hurts and bleeds a lot....

[Rick]

(head slap) Doh!

[Assassin Pilot]

If the sundial was on a compass, it would be the ultimate daytime - outdoors watch. That way it would point north automatically.

[Rick]

Actually, it would tell time no matter which direction you were heading.

[crashdive123]
