BAD**S Watches Worn By Navy Seals

[@darrenortiz5213]

I've heard a lot of SOF guys have higher end watches like Rolex and omega that they take on missions because of the value it could be used as a barter or bribe if they get in trouble, separated, or lost

[@allthingsrandom8137]

That’s something that was true about 20 years ago. It’s not as prevalent now. I did a pilots watch video similar to this one. I have several military pilot buddies who do wear slightly nicer watches for that reason. Special forces are slightly different. They are more function over brand

[@darrenortiz5213]

@allthingsrandom8137 new subscriber, this was the 1st video of yours I've seen. I had heard the same about pilots, too!

While SEALs did regularly wear the DW6600 in the 90’s up to the early 2000’a, the DW6640 is a new issue of the DW6600 with arguably less functionality. Why would a SEAL today wear a reissue of a 90’s watch when they could spend 50 bucks less and buy a GW6900 with more functionality including tough solar and atomic time sync. The answer is: he probably wouldn’t.

[@SmugMrSmitty]

I believe the issue would be the updating via satellite, if that signal is picked up by counter forces, your/units position could then be compromised...

The "kinder, gentler Army". Uhh, part of the reason I got out. Black berets and a stress card were such a let down to us NCO's. BNCOC leadership training only solidified my ETS. Hearing it in your voice brings it all back. Best of luck to ya!

(6:40) Jocko has some words for you regarding the hilarity of Ironman Triathlon watches.

[@estebanrivera8820]

I really liked my Sunnto Core. Wore it daily for a few years till the crown just fell off.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Good to hear the positive point!

[@mikeyblueeyes8449]

A smart watch is the last thing you want in the military because it can be hacked and tracked the British military doesn't even allow that on missions.

[@ddanj0331]

Been a infantryman is the usmc for some time and worked with many other infantry guys. We all wear gshocks, Garmin gps watches, or other digital watches when we go on operations. Now In garrison, we wear a lot more in variety for sure.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

What type of g-shocks do you all wear?

[@ddanj0331]

@@allthingsrandom8137 everything between the cheaper ones to the more expensive ones in earth tone colors or black. It’s pretty much customary to buy one at the store right at boot camp

[@tommyhenriquezkayakangler8465]

Thank you for your service Devil!

[@michaelkraus4135]

GENTS - Barry Cohen who started LUMINOX left & started PROTEK WATCHS,which are very good watches. NITE watches are very good as well. Both co's start at around 450 dollars .You could not give me a FREE LUMINOX . By the way PROTEK is the OFFICIAL WATCH FOR THE ...............MARINES ! I DO NOT WORK FOR EITHER CO.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Great points. Really appreciate that

[@jamessaund]

I like the luminox or g-shock as it can also blend in to everyday as well as a tactical badass

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Nice!

Who’s here looking for the first, “my buddy’s a Navy SEAL and he said…” comment!

[@allthingsrandom8137]

No navy seal buddies.. just sniper buddies

[@AK60814]

Love the video!

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Thanks!

[@stepoue4695]

Hi how about the Marathon GSAR you didn't mension it, why?

[@allthingsrandom8137]

This was a top 4 watches. Not saying the marathon isn’t worn, but it’s not top 5 and it’s $1,500 plus. Maybe I’ll do a top 10 in the future

[@stepoue4695]

@@allthingsrandom8137 $1200 / $1500 for mechanical watches yes, on the other hand quartz GSAR are $960 and they have several other models at $100 $200. Also the military have a reduction around 20% I got my GSAR for almost 15 years now.

[@igord.2163]

What is your to Pagani watch all time ( or 3 ) ?

[@allthingsrandom8137]

I like the Pagani Design 1701 moonwatch and the Pagani design 007

[@ScoopDogg]

UK here Still wearing my 1990's CWC RN diver Mil Issue ; ) (an EXACT replica of the one I LOST down to the EXACT same serial number and same scratches too LOL) missed the opportunity of getting the Mil issued Rolex by a few years sadly as they are worth a fortune today

[@michaelj8793]

Great list as far as the Luminox goes or should I say MB Microtech the tubes cut to half strength or even less I own a few that you can't even use in complete darkness any longer but I did get my money's worth out of every watch They never failed on any job and I won't hesitate to acquire another watch with tubes You cant beat the performance Thanks for sharing as always my friend and Stay Frosty 👍

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Always a pleasure!

[@asiantimepieces]

That Luninox is cool, I’d wear it.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Love the gas tubes. Like the Ball, but way cheaper

[@Guanche123]

Great video, It is interesting to know what whatches special forces use and why. I am looking for a tough work watch too, but the pirce tags of these are just too much for now. I am considering the Casio AQ-S810W-1AVEF. Tough solar, analog and digital, light and lume and 100 meter water resistance for 50$. Really amazing value and "G-Shock" ish looks

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Yeah, I think that’s a great value and a good watch

[@jaydavidson8886]

Like the Luminox.

[@bevboakes8982]

The Luninox would be a nice addition for anyone’s watch collection.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Agreed!

[@michaelkraus4135]

DO YOUR ............. HOMEWORK & YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND.

[@tommyhenriquezkayakangler8465]

You forgot Marathon

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Definitely a top 7

[@flogtwo]

Suunto Core - cough cough

[@allthingsrandom8137]

🤣

[@richriley8031]

I would put a Garmin Fenix in that military bracket also. Maybe pricey but durable. I’ve owned 3 so far and literally have beaten them but they keep on ticking!

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Great option!

[@Caoimhin7-4]

Garmin Delta👍🏻

I love the Americans because they really think they are the best and people want to be SEALS

[@allthingsrandom8137]

They ARE the best..

[@lybros474]

@@allthingsrandom8137yes, Americans ARE the best… in advertising things, selling them for high prices and… making wars all over the world.
