G Shocks are always a solid option.

>>32049322
Agree, they are no.2 on my list

>>32049306
Just get a terrorist watch, literally best basic watch there is.

>>32049306
Grunt here (former). I did 4 years with a cheap $15 cassio with a back light.

I'm assuming you want to be a mall ninja tho, so I'll leave it at that.

Seconding g shock. I've had mine for two years; worn it hiking, in the snow, showered daily with it, swimming in lakes rivers pools and hot tubs. Motorcycling, doing concrete work, etc. rarely ever take it off. Solid fucking watch, plus you can get them on sale
Sometimes for like $35-40

>>32049656

An altimeter in conjunction with topological maps is useful as fuck. Altitude can be used as a landmark.

Do you even boy scouts?

>>32049721
>Do you even boy scouts?
Eagle scout, and you can read topo maps by not being a fucking retard.

>use compass
>orient map
>USE EYES

If you don't know where you are, and can't tell which way the ground slopes, you done fucked up a long time ago and should probably start blowing your rape whistle.

This is the only watch a man should ever own.

>>32049763
What is that chapter ring for?

>>32049656
We get it, you don't like watches.
After all why do you even need a device to tell you the time when you could just look at position of the sun?

>>32049755
Different guy, but my states tallest "peak" is 500ft. Also, land nav in scouts was the tits. One of the guys dads was ex-SF so we did some shit.

For when you need an IED for the cheapest amount possible, accept no substitutes.

>>32049812
I mean honestly, you only need a watch if you're doing group coordination without communication, which I don't do. So, I don't where a watch. What the fuck does it matter what time it is? It doesn't.

>>32049814
If it's flat just fucking orient yourself, if it's hilly figure out a plan via map and compass, then execute. I have never used anything other than topo maps and a compass and haven't gotten lost.

Oh I'm not complaining, I just didn't know what topographic maps were until HS.

Do you just not have appointments and places you have to be at certain times or is your point that you could just look at your phone or a computer?

I wear a Seiko 5 on and off whenever I have a job or shit to do. Looks cool and just works.

>>32049915
My dad is a geologist so I was kind of raised on topo maps
>There are more than one framed topo maps in our living room

Now that I think about it, that might have affected things a bit.

>>32049815
Just put a nato strap on it.

>>32049486
That thing looks like some kind of edgy space mine disc from call of duty.

>>32049763
It is literally 10x too expensive for the quality.
It is not intended to be a good sturdy watch, it is intended to be a social status symbol.
Which is a good thing, but not the thing op's looking for.

>>32049795

Exactly the kind of posturing that makes it for faggots.

>>32049815
LEL best watch ever. That same watch lasted my entire time in the service and about 3 years after.
RIP casio. you served me well.

>>32050111
So is it meteorite proof? If not then why advertise it as "able to survive the extreme conditions of space"?

>>32050162
>>32050168

Are you two serious ?

>>32050181
It's probably water resistant too :^)

>>32050176

It's rated for EVA. Was literally on the moon

Get the cheapest Casio with backlight and alarm. It tells time and date and wakes you up. It doesn't break, doesn't need the battery replaced in several years. The backlight is only on as long as you press the button, no permanent glow as in luminous hands or press-once-for-15s-lights common to more expensive models.

>The iconic speedmaster continues to be marketed by Omega as the moon watch. The space theme is evident in many print ads and even in jewellers windows. There have been many special editions marking missions and anniversaries, the most recent being an Apollo 11 40th anniversary item.

It's just a marketing gimic dude, it's like when toothpaste say dentists recommend it. It's not like you're actually going to the fucking moon anytime soon.

So it's basically jewelry.
Oh wait, after some simple googling, it would seem that another watch, the Bulova 96B251, was also used on the moon after a speedmaster broke.
So you can a have a moon watch for $3,000, or a moon watch and a scar for $550.

>>32050276
>It's just a marketing gimic dude, it's like when toothpaste say dentists recommend it. It's not like you're actually going to the fucking moon anytime soon.

The watch pictured in this thread is the Speedmaster Professional. It's a near exact replica of the version that was used in space

>>32049306
Just buy the Suunto and don't use the GPS. It's a great watch.

Never said it didn't faggot. I said that the fact it did is just something they use to sell it to people who will never ever use that capability.

The only reason your so insistent on "it works in space" is because you only brought the watch to give yourself an image and now that the image has been changed from "cool durable moonman watch" to "retard who fell for the jew" you're having buyers remorse and trying to justify your mistake to us.

>>32050276
>Oh wait, after some simple googling, it would seem that another watch, the Bulova 96B251, was also used on the moon after a speedmaster broke.

I'm a watch whore. And I adore Omegas. And given more disposable, a lot of it would go on watches. I like them. I like having a small machine that can tell time and moon phases and whatnot by virtue of the finely tuned movement of cogs, springs and weights.

But the ONLY reason that the moon watch wasn't a G-Shock or something like it is because they weren't around back then. End of.

Why that should diminish your appreciation of either mechanical or digital watches, I just don't get. Both are minor fucking miracles of engineering.

I'm still using the GW-500A I bought a decade ago. Solar charge + atomic clock sync are the tits, still on just the second band.

Actually, you did; I'm not the guy who posted those pictures, just an innocent passerby.
I linked your post because I saw your point and mine as being somewhat aligned.

It was an honest mistake so don't worry about it. Also, I'm sure most people can still see it.

>>32049306
Get an analog watch, seriously can't get better. Go for better buck for at least 10ATM waterproof and features you want, as well as automechanical winding.

Other than that, any watch will do. I bought a 250$ Wenger just because I wanted something to dive with as well as go to meetings.
