11 year old Seiko Prospex, black/dark grey with some orange accents within. It was at least 50%-60% off. 200$ total.

I recommend the Longines Master Collection for smth classic and reliable, or the Hamilton Khaki Aviation for a rugged yet stylish option. Both offer excellent quality and functionality. Hope this helped!!

Cheers
I wear a Citizen Eco-Drive Pilot watch. It's solar-powered, so I never worry about batteries, and it has a classic, clean look that suits both casual and formal occasions. Another great option within your price range is the Hamilton Khaki Pilot. It has a sleek design, reliable automatic movement, and great readability.
If you're open to spending closer to the $2K mark, the Oris Big Crown ProPilot is a fantastic choice with a solid build and a timeless aesthetic.
If you are looking for other options or are interested in more affordable alternatives, rolex replica for sale. might be worth checking out. They offer a variety of styles and price range that could fit what you're looking for.
I wear a Wesse watch and I am very satisfied :)

Casio F108WH "ILLUMINATOR" is my watch of choice- dual time (for UTC), countdown timer (for fuel timing), accurate time, waterproof, $10, 10-year battery life. Rock solid, lightweight, no fuss, no muss.

Usually a Timex, Ideally one that has digital and local time, so that have GMT available.

I am thinking of an Apple Watch as it could be handy if one is injured alone and need to make an emergency call.

A tip for people having trouble finding UTC on their smartphones: if your phone/app/whatever doesn't have UTC or GMT time, you can use the Reykjavic/Iceland timezone to achieve the same result.

I currently wear a Rolex, and I have to say, I love the style Rolex watches offer. They’re so classic and versatile, making them the perfect match for almost any outfit. Whether I’m dressed up for a formal event or keeping it casual, my Rolex always feels like the right choice.

That being said, I’ve always had a passion for watches and wanted to start a collection. However, the reality is that I can’t afford to spend a fortune on multiple luxury timepieces. So, I looked into alternatives and found some really high-quality https://replica24.to/ that look almost identical to the originals but are way more affordable.

I wear a watch which is: High contrast hands to face, so easy to read in most lighting conditions (I used to wear a beautiful Tissot which was not this!), Lower cost, so I won't have an emo tonal event if it is lost or damaged (16 years, so far, so good, even after being dunked), battery powered for daily reliability - in case I don't wear it every day (I still have my beautiful old automatic, but it was not practical if not worn every day). A flat sapphire crystal (so it's hard to scratch), a chronograph, (because I do need to time things every now and then), and my only need to mention brand is that it has an ETA movement, which is everything I need it to be (ETA movements are commonly found in many brands of cases). The brand of the case is really not important, if the watch serves the function you need!

Casio Illuminator. Forty bucks, dual-time (UTC), stopwatch, easy to read, don't care if it gets scratched. Perfect watch for going deep in the bush in a Beaver. 😉
