Inexpensive Field Watch
Posted on 6/12/23 at 3:14 pm

I'm going to Europe on a 2 week vacation and need a Watch. I am outdoors a ton and fish, hunt, ride 4 wheelers & SxSs, ride jet skis, etc. So I'm really hard on watches. The Luminox Leatherback Sea Turtle didn't last 3 years. It shite the bed this weekend riding muddy trails in Mena, AR.
I'm needing something relatively along those lines. 200-500 bucks so I don't care if it gets dinged up or whatever.
Any ideas? I did like the Luminox but like I said, I was hard on it and it was quartz which is frowned upon by watch guys (I'm not one).

$35. I'm sure it can handle your 4 wheeling experiences.

If you broke a quartz Luminox you'd probably destroy an automatic watch even faster. Get a G-Shock. That's what they're built for.

G Shock

Any reason you're not considering G-Shock? Those will handle whatever you throw at them.

Hamilton Khaki Field watch for the top end of your budget, citizen garrison eco-drive for the lower end would be my suggestion. G shock if you are really going to beat it up.

Ares makes a high-ish end, hard use field watch but it's like 800 bucks

I'd consider a G Shock if they have them in non-digital and the face isn't cluttered and busy.

Check out Momentum field watch. Always get sapphire crystal.

I’d go with the cheapest watch you can find that does the job. This isn’t for showing off just get a g shock

I'm "retired" and don't work so I'm playing outside everyday. I'm not trying to impress anyone with a watch.

Closest you'll get to an analog G-Shock is their ana-digi series. I have one and I like it.

14 years serving the good old Army in some tough environments. My favorite simple watch that survived lots of crazy shite was Timex Ironman. I love the G Shocks, but they are bulky and get caught on stuff. I love the customer service of Rockwell.
