What time is it?

I use a Wenger diver's watch, with the blue face and a date window. I've used it diving many times, down to around 80 ft. Never had a leak or other failure. Keeps excellent time. The only weakness is that after years of very hard use, you will have some scratches on the crystal. For $70-80 from Campmor, you don't get one of those nice synthetic emerald crystals that rarely scratch.

I agree...a watch is a tool...unless you have some specific Sunday dress watch.

My bomb-proof EDC watch is my Marathon GSAR. I prefer analog, but I do appreciate digital watches.

It's expensive, but it's still a "tool" watch. I recently had to return it (went back to Switzerland) as it smacked against a 400 pound up-armored HMMWV door and knocked the 1500-hour tritium glass vial loose:eek: I honestly thought I jacked the whole watch up (luck I didn't break my hand), but it was fine and quickly repaired and returned.

I recently added a Casio G-Shock Mudman Solar Atomic Watch to my "close-at-hand" backup. I love it! Very accurate timing, robust as all G-Shocks; solar powered and gives me a back up along with the nice features of stop watch, count-down timer and alarm clocks. Whenever I travel, I take both watches. I wear my G-Shock for my physical training in the mornings.

The only thing that tells time at my place is this computer and the howler monkeys who howl at 420 AM sharp and the toucans chirp at close to five PM.
Even in the woods. No watches here.
