The Breitling Watch Source Forums

What are the top combat watches for hard use?

I would prefer a self winder or a watch that has a battery that lasts for years. I am looking at Luminox, Suunto, etc.

I want it for hard out door use and abuse.

G-Shock. They are indestructible. Not exactly haute horology... but fits the bill

If you're looking for swiss, (although I usually despise TAG) the Tag Formula is pretty rugged.

i cant think of anything better. g shocks are awesome. very trendy and you can beat the sh** out of them. for a watch under 200 dollars with all that functionality its a no brainer

"It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'". Can't remember which brand of watch that slogan referred to but it should have been written for the G-Shock.

I know it's getting monotonous but you simply can't go wrong with a G-Shock. Only question is which of the hundreds of models to pick. I couldn't get used to a digital model so switched to their "aviation" analogue model.

the rescue 7900 b1 all black is the one i would go for.

How about a Marathon. Very rugged but well made.

:
I'm a fan of the 7900.

I also like Luminox, got 2 Evo Colormarks which are very comfortable and seem very tough.

G-shock gx56

Otto that tides functionality and moon phase looks awesome. i had the chance to try on the white one a while back and although i liked it....the thought of wearing a white plastic watch was too hard for me to pull off.
