I have a Citizen solar powered job. It maintains charge well even under the sleeve. Water resistant to a degree. Titanium.

I wear a cheap ($30) waterproof Casio with a waterproof compass (Suunto Clipper, made in Finland, $12) clipped on the band. The compass is surprisingly handy even in the city. I like cheap but dependable gear.

Casio G-Shock GW3000 G-Aviation

  • Solar Power
  • Multi-Band 6 Atomic Timekeeping
  • Centrifugal Force Resistance surpassing 12G

I love it. It's as durable as can be, always accurate, and on the off chance I'm pulling 12Gs in my tent, I take great comfort in knowing that my watch can handle the forces.

I have a Casio G-Shock Tough Solar Waveceptor. This means:

  • It is neigh indestructible
  • It is solar powered
  • It always has the correct time

The ultimate hands-off watch. I never have to think about it.

Mine is not analog, but they make analog versions. May I ask why is analog a pivotal feature for you?

Nastalgia mostly. Plus if the suns up, I can use it as a compass. And if im in the field I can use wet erase marks to keep track of sunrise and sunset. Analog, if you know how to use/hack it. Has so many more functions than a digital.

Can you explain how to use an analog watch as a compass or link to a guide ?

It depends on what you are wearing it for, but the Garmin Fenix 2 has never let me down, and if you adjust the settings you can really make the battery last.

I have a Seiko snk805 automatic that I wear, picked it up for forty bucks; it's an automatic, so no electronic parts or batteries, but it does need to be worn often to stay wound, and you will slightly loose or gain time(I generally lose about thirty seconds over a month)

How long will it stay wound w/o movement? Could you wear it overnight and still know the time in the morning?

That's never really been a problem for me, the only time I've ever seen it stop was when I was in an accident and had my wrist wrapped for a week and a half; so somewhere between three days and a week and a half it would stop, but its not hard to change the time/ date on it if it does stop, and I change those monthly just to update the date and reign in the little bit that its off by

I have a Suunto Terra. It's been super reliable and I've never had a problem with it. I had bought mine for 450.

I'm looking analog. But thanks, though.
