I can vouch for WatchCrunch it’s amazing. Polls, lighthearted discussions, user watch reviews, big names (Bens Watch Club, Mad Watch Collector, Just The Watch, etc), competitions, etc.

[@blackboardbloke]

Great reviews. I’m ex armed forces and had an issue G10 and grey NATO strap which I returned to stores when I left in the 80s. I missed it and spotted a civvy copy about 30 years ago from the ‘Jack & Jones’ brand (Rene Radlev,World of Watches, Copenhagen, Denmark) for about £20. Probably a Japanese movement, very accurate and it keeps going, all I do is unscrew the back and change the battery, and it’s never been serviced.It’s travelled Europe, India and SE Asia with me when I went backpacking with a Lonely Planet guide. I got a bad scratch on the glass, so I got that replaced for pence by a Malaysian jeweller in Kuala Lumpur. It’s still going strong, but the luminous markers and hands is barely visible now in the dark after an hour, so about 4 years ago I got the Lorus field watch you mention as it had the entire luminescent face, plus day/date (date is a necessity and day a bonus for me). Straps a bit cheap, but there again at the price point, no problem. I use a stainless steel or a NATO G10 strap with it. Again, very accurate and I reckon it will last as well as my other field watch has. There’s also one budget brand that does field watches, Sekonda. Worth a mention.👍

[@samzerafa3185]

[@brandontran4180]

I have the Vaer C3 Tradition and it is one of my favourite watches of all time!!! As an American, it is really nice to have an American assembled watch powered by an American Quartz movement. It is amazing for small wrists and I dig the vintage aesthetics. Highly recommend this watch

[@nspr9721]

Great review mate. Gotta tell you from extensive experience, that the Lorus/Seiko totally trumps it in my view. Both back at school, in the Army and now as a contractor I've used them and even bought a few to give to colleagues or people we've been training. Very affordable, sometimes as little as 20 quid in the sales, very tough and robust, with battery changes my Lorus watches have lasted 10 to 16 years - I don't know of a Timex lasting for more than around 5. The lumibrite feature overall is a big plus and useful for most jobs including night guard, construction and outdoors. Looks aesthetically good on almost any wrist, a good strap monster and quality Japanese quartz build. The Marathon is very overpriced for what it is and Timexes - though a decent option - have gone way up in price and again seem to have a shelf life of 5 to 6 years, plus the plated brass case scratches fairly quickly under intense use. They don't pay me to plug them but any Lorus basic field beater, especially the Lumibrite G10 homage, is an excellent option proved across Iraq and the Middle East

[@dannyg6592]

Very well researched list, Ben. I have the Vaer S3. It is extremely well finished, wears smaller than most 36mm watches and the second hand hits all the markers. It also looks great on a nato.

[@urich20]

Ended up scratching my itch with a 36mm baltany for 75 usd (leather strap) bought through AliExpress. Overall I am happy with it, my previous watch was a Timex explorer 36mm that is quite similar. It did cost more but deals much more premium. And most important it much quieter than the Timex.

[@demej00]

I have the Lorus Lumibrite - love it. Must have day/date. Will put my own Saphire crystal on it. Don't need titanium as it is already super light, small and tough.

[@TIMETECH07]

When I saw the Vario, I got really excited at its styling, and didn't expect the brand to be linked to my country in any possible way

[@axelmartinezpersson2268]

Love these mate. Keep em coming for dress watches and other types of watches too

[@Lowdowndog]

You could add the SWC Bunker to the list, it’s a 41mm but titanium, oodles of lume and AR coating and well under $500 🤟

[@MikeRenzulli]

I know you may not like the Seiko SRPG's, but they are very good for what you get, including hacking and hand winding. Something the SNZG and SNK models didn't have and they are both discontinued. Also, the Orient Defender is good too and comes in under $200 depending on the version you get. The black and blue dial defenders tend to be the ones competitively priced.

"MK" is an abbreviation of "mark" and is supposed to be pronounced as such. In recent years, I've noticed that this piece of knowledge has not been passed down effectively. Learn it, live it, spread the word.

[@WesWatchRoom]

Fantastic work with this round up mate, glad to see some new watches that weren't on my radar, especially the marathon. Think they could be next on the list if I can part with my other field watches first.

[@mountainmanmcbeachfront5296]

i bought a citizen eco-drive that I used on deployment as I didn't want to worry about batteries. Put on a NATO strap which is dangerous I found out after jumping off a truck and snagging it. Luckily it just ripped the watch off but could have broke my wrist or even de-gloved. Now I use a french elastic nato band. The watch held up great though, and while the glow didn't last incredibly long it was fine on night-time missions. It did get really scratched up but that's just a given.

[@lilbill758]

Looking for a durable watch because I'm shipping out to basic at Leonard Wood at the end of July. Would the citizen eco-drive hold up or should I get a cheaper watch for basic? I don't want a G shock because they look a bit silly and I prefer analog watches.

[@briankelley987]

I have the Vaer watches - both the white and blue dial ones you included in this video. I love them. For someone with a thin wrist that wants durable, these field watches are the way to go. 316L, 100m WR, domed sapphire with AR on the inside = water friendly, very anti-scratch. In the summer, I put the white dial on the navy silicon strap for going to the pool/beach and put the blue on the steel bracelet as the slightly dressier watch that you can take camping and to a nice restaurant.

[@johnsanders7599]

I am seriously thinking about getting a Vaer. I like that they are constructed in the US. Do you think it would hold up well to swimming in a pool or ocean?

[@briankelley987]

@@johnsanders7599 I have taken my Vaer C3's to the pool and they are fine (just remember to have the crown screwed in). 100 meter water resistance should be good for the pool and beach, but definitely not any proper diving. The case is 316L steel, so it's good against salt, though I would always clean the watch off with clean water after going to the beach.

[@johnsanders7599]

I can’t say enough about My Bertucci watch. Amazing stock strap, and unbelievably comfortable. With a jeweled repairable American Quartz Movement, it really makes me question why I own any other watches

[@caoimhin7122]

Why do so many manufacturers' design teams choose short hands?! I'm looking at Citizen and Timex and Seiko in particular, but there are many others. They'll make a great watch, then slap on some hands that don't meet the markers. The worst one I had, the one that made the least sense, was a Citizen chronograph. It's the chronograph version of the Eco-Drive you listed. I have it too. Love that watch, but the hands are criminally short. Get the notice manufacturers! Make your darned hands long enough!!!

[@MrBazH]

Absolutely agree but design sense seems to be in the minority even for 'designers'. I doubt most people will notice or care. Citizen are the worst offender for too short hands. I love the BM8180 but the hands are a deal breaker. And don't get me started on 24 hr numerals...

[@domdimensions9219]

Not sure if you might read this comment or not, but really great video man. Really enjoying your videos lately. I think I'm definatly going to go for a field watch for my first good watch. It doesn't look too formal so I feel like it would be a good daily watch. Furthermore there are many that have a vintage look which I am a huge fan of.

[@Sheriff_McPants]

12:27 I've had a Citizen BM8180 for years now and its a fantastic watch. I work on cars as a hobby and its gotten super beat up over the years and its been smothered in oil, swimming, and everything in-between. My only complaint is that Citizen has some weird crystal sizes. But do your research, and you can snag a sapphire for it and never worry about scratches again.

[@SilentSword1]

Currently own the VAER A3 Tradition (aka the Automatic version of the Vaer watch featured). It's a fantastic watch for a small wrist and I love that it uses the Miyota 9039, but will definitely set you back near 500 USD, unless you snag a discount.

[@brandontran4180]

I have the American Quartz version and it is damn good value!! I wore it to the pool for the 4th of July and it performed flawlessly!!!

[@briankelley987]

I wore my Vaer with Ameriquartz on the 4th, too!

[@Ruffaloo]

One watch I think might also fit on this list is the Switch Watch Company's ARK. SWC seems to be pretty nice micro brand. Their ARK has Titanium case, domed sapphire crystal, a Ronda movement and they appear to have slapped a ton of lume on the dial and hands. They retail for 199$ but it seems to be hard to get your hands on one as most variants are sold out at the moment.

[@armandr1613]

That logo though.

[@ivermec-tin666]

IMO, Time Factors (Smiths Watch Company) belongs on this list. They are a UK based veteran owned firm which makes military inspired watches in batches, which are sold on a schedule, and usually sell out. They are priced in the same ballpark as Hamilton. They seem to me to compete directly with CWC.

[@petequintanilla4237]

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Greetings from northen Sweden and a fellow watch entusiast. I have the Seiko SNK805 and I rather like the little bugger. When I got the watch it was running a little sporadic, turned out to be a loose rotor, Tightened it up and it runs at +8sec/day.

[@kheldaur2107]

I own a Timex Expedition Scout and it just might be my favourite of all the watches i own.

[@ivermec-tin666]

Re: Citizen BM8180. This may be the perfect grab and go watch, other than the square g-shock (arguably a modern field watch). I hated the stock strap which is stiff, cheap, and uncomfortable. I highly recommend a Haveston single pass canvas strap on this watch. They have several 18mm offerings. Canvas keepers would be best. In hot weather the canvas Haveston strap is insanely comfortable, and it looks the part of a WW2 era US Military or MOD offering.

[@johnjones928]

I chose the Timex expedition Metal Field over the Camper or the weekender for a cheap, small every day piece. The chromed brass case muffles a lot of the loud ticking (not that i have a problem with that) and gives the watch a more substantial feel, i also prefer the flat mineral crystal over the more scratch prone acrylic, the extra $10 over the Camper is more than worth it.

Looking forward to the super classic.

Hi there Ben, although I agree with you to a point on the Lorus Titanium, this has become a bit of a special collector's piece. If you want cheap, very tough, useful in the field and surprisingly long lasting, you need the Lorus lumibrite. The titanium model also has an elevated glass crystal and the lume isn't as good. Again, this is one of the very few areas I can 'pontificate with authority' having used them since the tail end of my schooldays! The Timex watches are also becoming a more expensive sentimental piece for collectors, for which price you could get a lower-end G-shock or an Argos military Citizen watch.

@@zoomjoo i think i value my sleep more than accuracy. Currently using marathon general purpose with dual movement. Seems fine so far.

@@wizmeister759 yeah that is to say.. i'm wary to get another seiko. timex seems nice as does marathon.

How did I not know Ben from Every Man had a watch channel?! I wondered what happened to you man!

[@1985corto]

just add a military green NATO strap to a Timex T49961 and you'll have the perfect field watch. I use it for hunting, day and night, it's just perfect.

Ben, I love this video and I'm thankful for being able to watch it! I do have a legit important question - in the Timex part you have the watch lying on an old pair of binoculars. I have a similar looking pair that I inherited from my Dziadziu from his life during WW2. Do you have any information on those binoculars? Thank you so much and keep up the great work on your channel!
