Been buying cheap watches lately for my new job working outdoors when I don't really have the ability to reach into my pockets for my phone. I love the look of mechanical watches but I don't know any lower priced ones that can take some bumps so I've been buying cheap digital ones that I like, I'm surprised how much I like the look of a cheap watch.
Lately I've been using this, got it for like $19 on amazon.
I have been wanting to buy an Expedition Field, they are advertised as outdoors watches but I don't know if it would hold up.
What sort of bumps are we talking about? A half decent mechanical watch would be tougher than a cheap digital.
These Seikos are pretty cheap, and tough as:
You could also go with one of these to complete the rugged outdoorsman vibe. Just peel back the sleeve on your flannie, pop the stud and the time is yours:
Pretty much all facets of outdoor work as a ranger. Cutting down fire destroyed trees, carrying huge logs, smashing rocks with pickaxes, chopping wood, ripping out vegetation, and working on dirty stuff. I mean my wrist isn't getting smashed all the time or anything, but I'm def. just putting my hands into tight sketchy spots. Also needs to be able to clean up easy, some days I'm head to toe in charcoal and some days hands are covered in oil from landscaping tools.
What is that Seiko model? Pretty nifty lookin'.
@beatifk I have been checking those out too, pretty neat.
I don't know if this is blasphemous but I cant wait for the day someone nails a mechanical type watch that somehow has all the features of a smart watch. I broke my apple watch the first day of that job...walking out my house to get in the car and show up for the first day of work lol. I hate how the apple watch looked but especially working in the field that shit would be really useful, and I do exercise a lot. But the price is stupid, I got my screen replaced from a guy on ebay 1 month before I broke it that first day of work. I don't want to pay 75 again but damn I love some of the features.
