The Roundtable / Re: the watch you need
« Last post by Hawkmoon on Today at 01:14:19 AM »Are you guys wearing watches? What kind?
I wear a $25 "quartz" clone of a WW2-style military watch. Basic-basic stuff -- black dial with white numbers and white hands. It does have a date window, which I have never set and which I ignore. I would have just as happy (or happier) without the date window. It tells me the time -- that's why I wear a watch.
I put "quartz" in quotation makes because the blurb for it claims it's a Japanese quarts movement. But it randomly loses up to 5 minutes in a 24-hour day. I've never encountered a quartz movement that's so inaccurate.
Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Military-Style-Stainless-Steel-Watch-Bands/dp/B00JYG6OAQ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=B2F7MJ8PTCGZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yXYY-ub4CPNYJfUq6ft6sThObghGNM9DgswD-EizAZVhx7raSxeoH9Hu5N54c3jUam2UP7PZMhJ7R7thrsysmF-x7fyJe-pPOKs_onv0lt71-us677S5q2Nkl6gsjJRHMnvdJ0BIFgksqlogchBo6kcy4OpDHTUvYbbp7ruczv_KJEURgUCgEI8-Sve2lvJmNIHJErMDB8c_ckHurSxFLwWJnaiEJrDCJsa2vQPRBEQy1d3wU0WtBu1Z2xXJ3MWL3l_6dpM8goXKI3P3L1MVl416jV-1FK8UKt86Z7JpvUs.LVZEfxMFJnMTdL9wh2lGbb4cWw-MPMuWgA7tHlqM938&dib_tag=se&keywords=ww2-style+military+watch&qid=1714886006&sprefix=ww2-syle+military+watch%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-5

We had a case of a guy who died just off trail (tumbled off a ledge) and it took three days to find his body, and that was on a fairly easy trail.

I really like the faint green backlighting when you press the stem. I've had it for about 5 years and it's still on the original battery. I think I paid $35 for it.

Like, normally I spend way to much time on gun stuff I can't afford.
Now I am looking at watches I can't afford.

This here: https://timex.com/products/expedition-camper-39mm-fabric-strap-watch-t42571. Maybe not exactly that. Dial face watch with luminescent hands and Indiglo light. Plastic case. (My sweat will corrode anything that's not plastic or stainless steel.). Velcro band.
Basic. All I need or want.

Casio Duro/Marlin diver watch
I got this on Amazon recently, just under 60 bucks.
Wearing more than my Gshock rangeman I got last year for a lot more.
I think you guys would like this watch, if you fall into the water while fishing or something it will be fine.
it is robust , looks good and if you do break it - you're not out a lot .
I plan on buying a few more in different colors because they discontinued it. Eventually the value is bound to go up because every watch collector buys one or 5.
