I'm kind of a watch junkie.
All through my SF time, I had a 1981 Seiko Diver - weighed about 3/4 lb and is indestructible, still have it, still keeps perfect time.
My TAG KV6500 is the watch, but I've spent less on a couple of cars.
I have a Citizen Eco Drive - nice watch, no batteries, keeps excellent time.
Suunto Regatta - too many bells and whistles for normal use, but great for sailing and working in the mountains.
In the Q course, my Seiko battery ran down, and I couldn't get it replaced expeditiously - so I was killing Casio G-Shocks every 2 weeks (could even get them at the Camp McK rolling PX) I did have one last a whole month.
Citizen Aviator - ok watrch, not what I expected.
A good, no nonsense, light durable, fairly inexpensive field watch is the Wenger Swiss Army Field Watch - love mine, need to replace thew battery.

There's my .14 on watches. Next week - pens.....
