  • The US military no longer issues a watch to enlisted soldiers, but they can still choose one of their own to support their specific area of focus. As such, watchmakers and gear suppliers still manufacture highly functional, utilitarian tactical watches with ample features well beyond timekeeping for those folks, be it actual members of the military or ordinary civilians. So today, we’re diving into the world of tactical and military-inspired watches - mission capable, practical EDC watches for the industrious everyman you can lean on when it counts.

    Hello and thanks for this video. I'm not into smart watches, but I saw that you'll be reviewing different kind of watches, including "old school" ones. And this review allows me to discover a brand I haven't heard about before, MWC. I don't know if they are good or not, but the brand's website shows some interesting watches. 😀

    Probably the seiko in arnie solar in my opinion due to no worries about battery changes in the field. Along with quartz accuracy and robustness.

      I have the Suunto Core on wrist right now and I love it to death but considering what the Garmin Instinct offers at a similar price point it's puzzling that they charge around $300 for the Core. I bought mine years ago at about a hundred bucks which I think is much more reasonable for what you get.

      Fun side note: Denzel rocks the Suunto Core in the first Equalizer movie. I still to this day wish the stopwatch function looks like it did in the movie

      I currently have the instinct solar. It's a great watch, battery lasts long. It's great for exercise activities, especially when I go rucking in my unit. I like to keep track of my pace. Highly recommend. Was planning on getting the tactix7 but I'm getting the instinct 2 solar tactical edition. Basically the same as the tactix 7 just not touch screen or high end maps. Highly recommend

      The watch alone might be good, but 5000m rating sounds like a marketing bs

    • @paperspeaksco
      @paperspeaksco Před 7 dny

      Its not actually. In fact the case itself is rated to 12000m but rhe movement being quartz can only withstand 5000m. The oil creates a pressure seal that prevents exteenal pressure from compressing the tiny amount of air usually found in watch caseback.

      What's wrong with quartz? Many of these watches are powered by it

    • @apageii
      @apageii Před 7 dny

      @@eugenetaranov4549 For military purposes, EMPs. An automatic watch is impervious to it. For horological purposes, it’s just an opinion. Once I got into movements I had less appreciation for quartz and more for automatic. It logically makes no sense because quartz movements keep immaculate time and watches are mostly used… to tell time. I see watches as many different things so I have watches that fill those niches. But as far as the theme of the video I would not have a quartz movement in this list if you are actually using these watches in a military setting. This is just my opinion as well. I don’t know how relevant an EMP is in military operations because I am a civilian. But I do know which field watch I personally would use. Regardless, buy what you like! A watch is only worth what you personally feel about it.

    Question for thouse who served.
    What about noctovision on the modern battle field. Right now it's relative common thing (we can notice that in the RU VS UA conflict).
    This illumination on the watches should be bright as F.
    Mil spec smart watches have special low light modes for that, or display is just off.
    For my humble opinion lumingation on the hands is a good way to get killed.
