Ok , I got to say the last thing I expected to see in this video was a Geo Tracker!

[@mrvico78]

Just to clarify, I think that thing is cool 😎

[@idahoman325]

Said everyone who has ever had the displeasure of squeezing into one ...

[@thehim2990]

Thats a 1990 suzuki vitara for non americans

[@OGbrundle]

Trackers rule

[@mellow-jello]

Aside from a couple divers, and dress watches, most watches in my collection are field watches. I find them versatile, rugged, and fit my active lifestyle. Moreover, I stick to affordable field watches as they require low cost maintenance.

[@NormanF62]

The quintessential field watch is the Citizen BJ6500-004E with a black dial and applied Arabic numerals. It doesn’t have lume but it doesn’t matter because you aren’t going to be reading it in the dark. Its a simple watch without complication, stripped down to doing only one thing well: tell time. And in the modern 40 mm size, its going to be legible and feel proportionate on the wrist without being overwhelming. In form and construction, its simple and durable and its going to fill any role from an outdoor hike to an elegant dinner party. Indeed, the field watch is the jack of all trades.

[@GalorOffroad]

Wow, that is a lot of field watches 😅 I love them too ! I wear a 40mm Timex Expedition Scout with a domed acrylic crystal, a 36mm Tandorio bronze with a domed acrylic crystal, and a 38.5mm Merkur Skin Diver 2253624 🙂

[@kheldaur2107]

Field watches are my absolute favourites. I have 3: Timex Expedition and 2 Bertucci´s

[@tylerjames676]

I love field watches. My personal favorite category of watches. I have a few watches but my most worn watch by far is my Christopher Ward Sealander. It has served me well in the field on many adventures and projects, yet doesn't look out of place dressed up a bit in the office.

[@MauriceanMX6]

My daily driver is the Timex Expedition Field Chrono. Super useful on the field during civil/surveying work.

[@exoapo]

Hangin out with you over the past few months has totally reignited my love of watches!

[@baryonyx9642]

My favorite watch reviewer! Hi from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@theshadowman1398]

Got the khaki field bronze 3 months ego. Love that watch. Probably my most worn watch of my collection.

[@chrish.1983]

Really like my Boldr Venture black Dawn, simplicit design, lightweight, perfect size for me and has a date complication. As a daily driver great watch.

[@jtap484]

I actually bought the Boldr expedition II Sinai because of you! Hopefully I’ll find that Rolex someday!

[@dixonjernigan1534]

Never heard of a Sinn 3006, but now I need one. Thanks you big, hairy jerk. Great video!

[@Canadianman762]

Yee old tracker, my first car and a great one for the northern Ontario logging roads. Interesting to see it is just at home up here as it is in a desert.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

The most popular Field Watch in LE circles seems to be the Apple Watch. The GShock is still represented, but the smart watches have mostly taken over. Sad.

[@ahha6304]

I have 2 Fieldies, one is Citizen with GMT, the other is Komandirskie 24-hour dial but no date

[@infinitekronos]

Great episode!!

[@Randomwesternredneckguy]

I absolutely love that model of the Alpinist. Perfect size field watch imho. Dang good looking too.

[@samuelpeterson9023]

Such an awesome video and what a great collection! Did you end up getting rid of your Boldr Venture Automatic?

[@MarineX]

Good video. I would add that field watches told are civilian chic when you mention g-shock. The field watch had it's first hard spec with MIL-W-46374A. The most important factor of field watches is they have to be accurate within 60 seconds and have a mechanical or quartz movement. But nowadays we call everything field watches.

[@67NewEngland]

- My everyday watch is a RZE Valour. A great company owned by a former engineer or designer at Boldr.

[@seanmiller7187]

Sweet B-roll!!!!!

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

I want a Geo Tracker. Here in Southwestern Texas we have both desert and expansive beaches. Trackers are so popular they can sell for many thousands with 300 thousand miles. For decades I wore my Omega Seamaster as a field watch. I was in the US Army and spent plenty of time in the field. But now I am tiring of dive watches. A true field watch is refreshing.

[@hunterbrice7937]

As a hunter that Sinn is dumb! A simple Timex Expedition is all I want… don’t want dove blood on something more than 40 bucks.

[@brianmason744]

Great video…like the old days!

[@erickjoestar1561]

I wasn't ready for 2:13

[@defender1006]

Jory, that's probably one of your best vids ever, I love field watches and like you have a 'field watch' collection including G-Shocks and Protrek's, plus a myriad of others, but one of my favourites is Bertucci, yes I know they have a quartz movement and there are many people who'll discount it for that feature alone, but their BIG plus point is the cast in/solid strap bars, so no spring bars to break/fail. In addition their bands/straps are very good too. I do love that Timex Expedition North and the Rolex Explorer II, especially with it's 'well used/tool watch' patina, watches should be used and worn as intended? Another 'field watch' love is the Casio G-Shock Mudman series, of which I have several iterations from the original 'ani-digi' which was also know as the Guassman (AW-570/571) onwards.

[@timothyfoley3000]

I have Benrus DTU 2A/P. Love it. Most worn watch. I want that Seiko Alpinist.

[@rafaelvera78]

Love my Hamilton Khaki King II, very confortable and versatile

[@wayneorellana2549]

Every SARB 017 needs to be on a good quality brown leather NATO. Apart from that, love your work brother!

[@blazel462]

I have been enjoying my Seiko SRPG on my last several hikes.

[@megasoid]

Love field watches.

[@mikeyblueeyes8449]

I love my black obsidian RZE titanium:)

[@gauthamtvpm]

3 boldrs. That attests to how awesome they are.

[@masterwatch]

nice video actually.

[@idahoman325]

I was wholly unprepared for that action shot including jory in those short shorts ... i am forever changed. 😮

[@Gumby56]

This video covers the "watch", very well.

[@billj5645]

There are tool watches, and I like tool watches for the functional aesthetic, like the anti-jewelry watch. I have worn dive watches for a long time and those are definitely a category of tool watch. But I don't dive and the bezel doesn't provide any fuctionality for me so I thought why not get a field watch of the same size so that more of the size could be dedicated to the dial and make the watch more functional for me. Unfortunately many field watches are very small. I only have one field watch right now but I'm always looking for a new model that ticks all of the boxes for me. Although I like NATO straps the holy grail of field watches for me would be one with tritium tubes and a nice oyster bracelet. I don't know why field watches have to have all of the numbers on the hour markers, surely most soldiers can count. I ended up with a Mondaine which has no numerals, after I took off its leather strap and put it on a NATO I decided that it was functionally a very good field watch so I guess that makes 2 in my collection.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Only feild watch I own is a Rolex Explorer 1. 114270

[@jeanbaptist6255]

I like my old watches. But im stuck on my garmin instinct 2. Kinda the g shock of garmins

[@kj_sh604]

I am all for having car intros on the Watch videos! maybe get some M3 action going 👀

[@user-gu9lf2yg8m]

1:02 I subscribed 😂

[@PapriceP]

What are you wearing at the beginning? Guess Chrono? Great vid.

[@brianbeach9472]

You should get a Toyota 4Runner if you really like over landing they're amazing and ridiculously tough. I love mine.

[@Divinenubian]

I am definitely gonna get one.😊 But I'm looking for an affordable one but found a fossil for 50 bucks but didn't get it because I felt I could fi d a better one in Khaki 😊

[@nprwikeepa6082]

Searching for the right field watch for my collection but honestly, as far as tools go I'd be stupid not to bring the Protrek

[@DiggerPrints0814]

It's funny how today's field watch is a Garmin Fenix with every complication you can think of ;)

[@tab9175]

Great to see these Boldr watches in the mix! Lovely ending thanks Jory!

[@kesha777]

The Ocean is my field, so its divers and more divers

[@kevinwalsh9483]

field watches rule the world !!!!!!! except for hamilton khaki field with NO screw don crown.

[@TomPlantagenet]

I don’t always wear watches, but when I do, I prefer the Wasson Automatic Field Watch. Stay timely, my friends!

[@gotsouced4943]

I think for a field watch 40 mm and under with a 46 mm lug to lug is perfect. I don't like 48 mm

[@aidanarmstrong6264]

only on the time teller channel can you get a dreamybull reference in a video about watches

[@ELFrm184]

casio Forester pls Review

[@mellow-jello]

Plenty of commanders did use pocket watches pre WWI, until they were picked off by the modern rifle and machine guns. Even combatants in the 19th century (Napoleonic War, American Civil War) used pocket watches during battle.

[@NormanF62]

Men wore pocket watches until after the First World War. Wristwatches were seen as women’s jewelry. That changed when wearing a watch on the arm began to be viewed as masculine.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

When you drive that GEO it just makes me think of Chris Farley. Sorry it just does.

[@ironcladgungrave]

what was the thumbnail watch?

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

SARB017 it still the GOAT!

[@captironsight]

Military folk don't wear field watches. they wear Garmin, G-shaocks and Timexes. Whatever they can get at the PX, based on their pay. Garmins, not to get lost, Gshock no to get broke, and Timex not to be late.

[@permianplantworks5834]

yeah... the Geo is what tickled my funny bone.... as did the balls shot in the intro... nice "packaged" content.

[@kokhui32liau88]

What watch after the Rolex explorer 2?

[@fawkesandhound]

That was the Vaer.

[@lilelf1075]

I recreated a Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical with a Seiko 5 and put a Nylon Strap on it, should I feel ashamed? Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical is famous its even in Far Cry 6 or 5

[@thenotanclan]

If you want the definitive authentic field watch with current active military service it has to be a CWC

[@nobodysfavourite6953]

Is my SGW-100 a field watch? Building a wind turbine wearing it as we speak

[@Mrletmehelp]

Need a date but otherwise I'm solid

[@johndudley5761]

Does it grow 🌽

[@kyledriscollmusic]

T3: look at me, I have a outside, look at me having it, haha, you can't have any because you're a doo doo head

[@demej00]

Berny and Lorus for me.

[@PapriceP]

The only field watch you need is a Rolex Explorer.

[@chriskelly509]

That was a long intro.....

[@rhithym]

Full minute and a half before you even start talking about the damn subject. Cmon man, nobody needs a 50 second intro.

[@Mondo_37]

Bro Dasani is nasty 🤢

[@idahoman325]

The number question asked by zoomers is " will the watch still work if not in a field ? "
