I'm sure a few of you have figured out by now, that I collect watches, and am into watches.
This is what I wear most of the time in the field. I purchased this Dec, 2 2014 for $211.41. Today they are $209.00. They have actually come down in cost, given inflation. That makes it 10 years old this year this year. It's never had any issues. It has take its fair share and some not so fair share of abuse. It now sits on aftermarket strap lugs that allow aftermarket nato style velcro bands.
It have been with me as deep as 163 ft and countless times over 120 ft underwater. It's been on countless fishing and hunting trips. It has been below zero and well above 100 degrees. It's been in enough salt water to test if it's going to rust. While I might take another watch with me, as something I wear when I'm not in the field, this is, more than not, the actual field watch you'd see me wearing in camp.
Here is what I find useful about it above and beyond telling time. It is an atomic watch and sets itself every night. It has multiple time zone tracking. It calculates rough altitude and records changes. It tracks barometric pressure and records changes. It is water proof to 200m; well past depths I can dive. It tells me sunrise and sunset. It is solar powered and runs up to 10 months without time in the sun. It is more indestructible than I am. It does not draw attention and is not worth my life.
Other things it does that are cool, but I could live without. It has a compass, tells the temperature, has multiple alarms, auto tilt full screen light, stop watch, countdown timer, day/date, auto daylight savings time, auto on/off hour beep.
