What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

@NIGHTHAWK - Nice watch. Wondering what the diameter of that thing is because it looks to be at least 45mm, but I'm guessing over 50.

28 years ago, I got a good deal on a Swiss Army Watch. I wore it all of the time & beat it up a lot. But it stayed waterproof & kept accurate time. At a distance it looked pretty good. Up close you could see all the scratches from excessive use. Lately, I've switched more to my Apple Watch simply because I use it a lot for 2-factor authentications with my IT work, music, health monitoring, etc.

I have some doubts as to whether I should jump into an ocean wearing my old watch again. I'm not sure it would survive a serious submersion. The last time I took it to a jeweler, he said there was some corrosion inside. Since I paid $82 for it, I think I've gotten a good value for my money.

Who cares? I haven’t worn a watch in almost 15 years. Months can go by without me knowing what day it is.

Today it was the Fenix 7.

I sat for a while and nothing was happening, so I decided to start walking my woods. The old walk and stalk method provided a nice doe at about 65 yards, and the 6.5 took care of the rest.

I don’t often wear a watch, as someone who worked with their hands, anything that could get caught on something is a hazard. When I go out I wear my deceased father in laws watch, when hunting, no watch,maybe my phone, but definitely an eperb

G Shock GW-M5610 (known as the ‘square’) is the only watch you ever need. Especially the only outdoor watch you need if you like simple, small and comfortable. It is solar atomic, around $100 on Amazon and proven for decades. Never change batteries, and updates atomic time every night. I love my mine so much. Waterproof, bomb proof. There is a reason most soldiers wear G Shocks.

Greatest watch of all time.

It’s good, no doubt about that. I’ve owned several that were both battery and solar powered. The last three or four were solar atomic and those were the best of the digitals I’ve ever had.

But let’s leave a little room for some speculation about the GOAT.

I should have specified "for hunting."

I should have specified "for hunting."

Maybe for you, but that's now how everyone feels about it.

Digitals from Garmin, Apple & Sunnto along with mechanical/automatic watches from Omega, Rolex, Panerai, Breitling, Hamilton, Tag (...etc because I can't be expected to remember them all) are some really incredible pieces for hunting and other activities.

That’s a bold statement. I like the G Shocks, but not the square ones. I would take my Timex Expedition over a square g shock every time. Would also take all of the watches BeeMaa described, except probably the Apfel watch. That thing has no soul…
