What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

[0002S]

I posted before that I usually wear my Fenix 6X as it has a GPS and I use that to mark where I take shots, where I last see blood, where the camp is etc.
But I have recently got a watch that blew me away , an automatic diver with a little South African angle.
Draken is a microbrand named after the Drakensberg mountains and the owner now lives in New Zealand and is a hunter/shooter himself.
I am in no way linked or associated with them, just a paying customer loving a product.
Im a big diver (Sharks being a massive passion) and could not resist getting a SA designed dive watch.

I went Green-Green Tugela model partly because that was all that was available in stock and partly because I think it links back to the bush and outdoor activities, not just diving.
A proper 300m water resist, good bracelet as well as nylon strap giving me options.

This will be on my arm the next hunt for sure.
The limitations of a cheap automatic are there, but I would also think some of you might look at these as a SA souvenir after a hunt?
I am looking at thier Aoraki field watch next.

Draken produces a good watch for the $

I agree.

This is my G-Grandfather’s 18-size 15-jewel Railway grade pocket watch made ~1920ish. It will be making the first trip to Namibia with me in a couple months. When my grandson holds this watch in his hand I hope he thinks on the family history and value of taking care of something that was made well once. In 25 years there will not be an auctioneer at an advertised estate sale talking up the high quality of craftsmanship of my Apple 27 smart phone. But my watches with Swiss movements,? yea, they’re going to fetch good prices for the kids.View attachment 681271View attachment 681272
