What sort of watches do you guys wear?
I'm currently using the seagull 1963. It's a Chinese made watch that was ordered into production by the government. So this is a legit commie watch. Plus it's pretty

That is a nice watch for a good price. Hopefully you'll be able to get it worked and not have to worry about replacing it.
If you did have to replace it my favorite field watch is still the Weekender from timex. Honestly one should try it out just for indiglo.
G-Shocks are great. Never really go out of style either.
Mine is pretty thick. Not insanely thick but noticeably thicker than every watch I own. It's an old movement that hasn't really changed at all. It's a cool piece just for that. No overwind protection is a bummer and it is easy to overwind if you don't pay attention. A good watch with lots of quirks. Aliexpress has em pretty cheap. I think I got mine for 120 with lumen
edit: wording
The weekender ticks way too loud for me, I have to leave it in a drawer at night. In a silent enough room it's awkward. The Indiglo is great though.
Which watch from aliexpress are you talking about?
The seagull 1963. It's not actually made by seagull 99% of the time. But the movement is. This guy has a good explanation
Yeah, the ones made actually by Seagull are like $500 USD. Not very expensive in the world of watches, but still pretty expensive!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I had a Timex Weekender that I wore a lot ~10 years ago. Nice watch, but too damn loud like you said lol
