What is the watch of choice for operators or SHTF

That one right there. I have one of the older models of the same thing and it's 10 years old. The band finally broke a few months ago, but it was $10 for a replacement. It's solar powered and I've had no battery issues. The other features like barometer and temperature are nice too. The glass is super hard and the entire thing is durable as fuck. Atomic timekeeping means you never have to adjust it.
If you don't like that model, go on g-shock's website and pick one out to buy on amazon. I'd stay away from analog models though.

Even worse

I'm not big on the rubber/plastic-y bands because I feel like they break easily. Are any of these watches compatible with the big nylon NATO styled straps?

Mine took almost 10 years to break, but you can probably get nylon replacement bands for pretty much any watch.

So im trying to find a good digital watch for tech work and some light outdoor work/voulenteering. Ive narrowed things down to these and wanted to know your opinions or suggestions of other watches i might want to take a look at. Whatcha think?

Seiko Sea Urchin, aka SNZF17J1. Absolutely fantastic entry level automatic that looks great wearing everything from jeans to a tuxedo.

I also have this watch (pic related). I got it with a digital/analog hybrid on purpose for SHTF. The idea was that I would be able to use the analog part for navigating with the sun (if I needed to) as well as getting a more precise stopwatch and countdown timer with the digital part.

That's just me, though.

Automatic or manual. Even solar capacitors have to be replaced.
The band I just bought for a Seiko costs more than that Casio. You can use a good strap on anything though.

The suns position in the sky and the direction of the shadow it casts

I just want this but with a small compass....and without all the guccie looking sexspec bullshit.

You can get a nato band for like 3 dollars

I meant a good one, not made by Vietnamese orphans with a glue gun and a sewing machine. You can get a NATO for $270 if you really want to.

does casio even make a watch with a compass?

Over

Gshock. Very hard to actually stop one from working with normal use. There's a video of a basic one being slammed on the floor, run over by a steamroller, attached to a bicycle and beat and after all that it still worked.

I've had a solar one for 5 years and the battery has never gone below high. The compass ones are pretty good, but the thermometer is useless unless you take it off your wrist for a while so your body heat doesn't affect it.

And needs maintenance.

What are even talking about?

I wear a seiko skx007. Water resistant to 200m, keeps running without batteries or sunlight, generally doesn't need serviced for 10+ years.

Im a fan of automatic watches, but cheapish ones are anoyingly inaccurate. For tough, outdoor use, solar quartz is unbeatable.

lul, how'd you get fucked up?

What's a good gshock that has a compass? A digital display, compass and stopwatch are literally the only things i want.

if the SHTF who cares if it's 2:45 or 3:10?

Retard

what the actual fuck is wrong with wearing a gshock as an adult? i wear hoodies and jeans to my wage cuck job,

its unprofessional and one of 100 reasons you have a wagecuck job to begin with.

my Timex battery lasted 8 months. Changed the battery then lost it while surfing because the band broke.

When you need to operate operationally in the physical and digital environment accept nothing less than perfection.

I've been surprised at how accurate my skx is. I'll readily admit that I got lucky with it, but it's generally within two seconds a day

>Literally the James Bond look.
It's the old X is the poor man's version of Y.

In this case, James Bond is the poor man's idea of how a wealthy man dresses.
A Sub is a fine watch for diving (or was, fifty years ago) but when you're wearing a watch with a suit, it should be a slim, discreet watch (the classic version is something like a Patek Calatrava).
As for wearing a watch with a tuxedo: never. A man does not wear a watch with a tux. In such events where you would wear a tux, checking the time would be considered gauche.

As for OP's Rangeman, it's bulky as fuck. Sure it's got tons of features, but it's over a half-inch tall. It's not very effectual when you're wearing sleeves. A Tough Solar G-Shock 5600-series square is all you need

Do not go with an atomic unit. Most of them are wildly inaccurate if they lose contact with the system. Standard watches are less expensive and are plenty accurate under reasonable conditions.

Look at how small those wrists are folks.

>You might have to replace the solar capacitor after a decade or two so instead use an inherently more fragile, less accurate system that needs to be serviced at regular intervals.

>parts that literally die at a random time and cannot be fixed without an industrial lab
>vs parts that work for 60 years just fine and can be fixed yourself with some tools
It wouldn't matter for you of course, you'd die after two days outdoors because you starred at the rain too long and drowned. You're the type of retard that tries to use a digital watch as a solar compass.

>parts that literally die at a random time and cannot be fixed without an industrial lab
??????? m8 it's a $20 part and a 1-minute job on almost all watches. Literally on-par with a battery swap.
>vs parts that work for 60 years just fine and can be fixed yourself with some tools
Oh ok so you don't own an automatic watch/don't take care of your automatic watch and don't notice that it's ±a few minutes every single day.

Mechanical watches are cool status symbols, but are beaten by solar quartz watches in all areas where you need a practical, durable timepiece over an intricate, elegant machine.

Dive watches will always be a top choice.
>rugged
>can withstand massive amounts of pressure
>water proof for hundreds of meters on even base models

For the price I really like the Sekio solar powered line. Battery lasts 6 months after being fully charged, and then as long as it gets lite it will constantly refresh the battery. Quartz clock is also incredibly accurate so unless you are going full mole man and living underground it's a great line. Pic related.

That’s not how automatic watches work. They’re wound from the movement of your hand.

Surprised at how sturdy it is despite being dirt cheap

who the fuck wears expensive watches as a part of their work attire outside of execs?

Finally. I can't tell you guys how often I see fat fucking wrists and hands in these kinds of threads. Some normal hands going on this thread.

Are you saying my hand is fat or normal
