Let’s Talk Watches

Alright, who else was surprised by the pocket watch AP x Swatch collab? I did not have pocket watch on my bingo card...

They’d advertised as a new way to tell time, so I figured necklace.

I’m now in the market for a “dumb” watch. Looking at field watches, really just want something durable and simple preferably with a date. I see a lot of recommendations for Hamilton field khaki. Anyone have experience with those or any other recommendations?

any other recommendations?

Any citizen eco drive. Marathon general purpose. Seiko field watch

I wear a Timex Expedition with a six dollar stretch bracelet I got at Goodwill.

The watch was a return on Amazon so $40 for both. It's about 0.5 second slow per day and seems to be pretty tough. I wear it everywhere and it gets washed multiple times a day.

Some day I will get a nice watch, but for now this looks nice and is functioning well.

I've been abusing an eco drive for years at a level people usually save for casios. Worn constantly. Had to replace the band once.

Another vote for the Citizen eco-drive.

I love my pro trek triple sensor. Solar powered so no battery changes. Ridiculously durable and I can check things like altitude, pressure changes, sunrise and sunset times and directions without having to rely on any computer updates. I have no need for a smart watch as I’ve used this for 5+ years without a si no or issue.

G-shock is the nicest budget friendly you'll probably find. There are a number of variants for them nowadays.

Next step up from a G-shock is probably a Suunto Core
Then you start getting into "smart" watches like Garmins and other models of Suunto

5610 G Shock is a spectacular general purpose watch.

I purchased a Hamilton Khaki Field Auto earlier this year and have enjoyed wearing it. Seems to nicely straddle the line between a “nice watch” (for most of us) that can be worn with office attire while still being casual and not too flashy.
