What watch do you swear by? And beat up? This beauty even spent an entire winter under snow after I lost it until I found it the next spring. It’s about 8 years old. Has seen everything. And keeps great time. I’m contemplating a new watch but I’m not sure I can do it. This thing has been awesome. *note. If I remember correctly I paid around 150$. In a eBay auction.

I like the Forester sold at Walmart for $15.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Don't need a watch in the bush.No appointments to keep.Wear a watch in town occasionally.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

luminox are nice - a little pricey but they will last
i have a couple of timex expedition that i carry in the truck and a couple of bags. probably best value for your dollar in the watch world
sometimes its nice to have a watch in the field, either as a backup time keeper to your phone, etc...
or to let you know how long until sunup or sundown
after not wearing a watch for years, my wife got a fitbit for me a few years ago and have started looking at my wrist for the time again. it also makes a decent night light for trips to bathroom in the dark

Interesting topic and OP story on his watch. I know many people that wear watches everyday and have for their entire life.
I for one have never wore a watch but I have been given a few through the years. I have never used a watch or felt the needed to have one even through my working days. Being retired I don't care what time it is and very seldom even look at a wall clock I just live and don't care what time it is.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

If you travel out of the United States a Rolex is the way to go. You can sell or trade them anywhere, if you need cash to get out of trouble. It's amazing what a little cash can buy you out of, or into in.
You can buy used Rolex's at auctions and they will last a lifetime.
