I've been wearing the Titanium Luminox 3600 for the last 4 or 5 years. It is super lightweight, keeps great time and I just replaced the battery recently for the first time. My buddy on the sherrif's dive team swears by his. His is a little more "battleworn" than mine. Jim

Here is another suggestion for a no frills field watch, mine has been outstanding.

They have a bunch of options starting somewhere around $150.

I also wear a Luminox, it's a model 3401, stainless steel case, rubber dive band.



This one feels more solid than the more popular "Navy Seal" version with the composite case, at least for me. It's easy to view day or night. It's got the tritium lighting, which I didn't realize I would like as much as I do. Nothing like rolling over in your sleeping bag and just being able to glance at the watch without trying to remember which button lights it. It's also really handy if you're carrying something in your hands and don't really want to set it down. I do wish they left off the "F-117" stuff, not really necessary, but, probably some marketing guy said it would sell better.

Funny, but, until I had a watch with this feature, I didn't know what I was missing. Now, when I wear my "dress" watch, I notice the lack of the feature at night if I glance at my wrist. I do wish they made one with the tritium lighting and an alarm feature. Maybe someone else doing this style watch has an alarm? When hiking, and camping out, I really need that alarm if I'm trying to get up early to break camp and get some miles under the boots early.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions on which watch. I have just received my new watch, a Luminox 3602, ordered from the US. I was amazed how quickly it arrived. Great service from the online supplier in the US. It only took about 5 days to arrive here in Scotland.




The watch looks superb and I was able to make some considerable savings importing from the US. Saved about $220 - $300. The Luminox looks very well engineering and seems to be designed to be very robust. It is amazingly lightweight and it has that cool gray titanium look which matches my Unidive Titanium Folding Knife.

Doxa just came out with thier 1000 meter automatic. For the money this is a great watch.

I did a really bad job of editing that last post.
it should say " it was on my arm for a week before I got an automatic model"
Again sorry it's about 3:00 am

I really like luminox watches. The nightime visibility of the hands and markers is as good as anything out there.

That said, I used to have one of those Luminox 3600 titaniums and I broke it (it just stopped running) one day when I was pounding on a bus window trying to get the driver's attention so he would open the door to let me on. So their "shock resistance" leaves something to be desired. I had worn it for several years with no problems up until then.

I still wear a different luminox, but if you are one of those people who need to fret about being at a rendevous point at an exact time after engaging in some sort of violent activity - its probably not the watch for you.
