Watches

[JBDaddy]

I don't usually wear a watch. My phone is always in my hand or pocket, but it's glow and ability to make several minutes at a time go missing is something I can do without, especially when I'm hunting. Having to swipe unlock it is a pain sometimes.

I'm looking for an analog wristwatch (ie. has hands that move, whippersnapper) that has luminescent hands and hour markers. I don't want indiglo where the whole face lights up, and I don't want to have to pinch a button to see it, or where the glow in the dark paint goes dim in an hour or two. Something with tritium or similar markings.

I don't care if it's solar, kinetic, wind up, atomic or steam powered. Date is an extra I don't mind, but don't need. I don't want alarms, beeps, stopwatch, compass, lap timer, bla bla bla. Just your basic "what your grandpa had".

I'll looking to stay under $200. Anyone have a favorite?

I have a timex expedition off amazon for around $35 I bought it for work/hunting something I don’t care it gets scratched. It’s water resistant and it does have a soft backlight if you press the button on the side.

I’ve worn Swiss Army watches for years. I love their simplicity. Swap the bands out for rubber ones, so they don’t collect stink and sweat.

The glow in the dark markers don't stay lite up for too long but it's a cheap watch that holds up to some pretty bad abuse

I wear the Timex expedition at work. I don't like wearing a watch while I hunt, but because I do short sits before work having the time available is necessary. I Velcro mounted an old iron man to my bow.

I gave up on watches! I’ve destroyed every one I’ve ever owned. Even the indestructible Invicta, has fallen victim to my wrath

You should be able to find someone selling a Luminox watch. They have tritium indicators so they're visible no matter when the last watch saw sunlight / a light source.
