    What do you guys think of watches with NATO straps? They look cool but I wouldn't want to wear anything called that.

    I don't like. Never undeterstood putting all that shit around the rim either. Also why is the hour hand under the minute? Bad expensive watch

    Get a smart watch so you can always know what your blood pressure is and how many steps you've walked that day. Also you can communicate with it like some old scifi movie shit.

    I always look for a G-Shock if somebody seems like a glowie but smart watches are probably a lot more practical. Apple is probably already recording everything for the government right out of the box.

    Also the dial markings are now used as an aesthetic choice but back in the day they were supposed to be for diving watches, e.g. to use as a dive timer, especially the rotating bezels. So like you could rotate the bezel so the arrow points at the current time, then the minute hand will tell you exactly how many minutes have elapsed along the marked bezel. So say you have a 20 minute oxygen tank, you can mark and time 10 minutes exactly rather than remembering "I went in at 10:33, now it's 10:47, 47-33=14 minutes I've been under".

    Back when diver's watches were a thing only 1% of owners actually dived.

    They're still good to glow in the dark and I use a rotating bezel to time shit all the time. That part is definitely 100% more convenient than a phone alarm.

    You can use it to time literally anything though, the point was that it's a mechanically completely simple way to include a timer functionality with no additional mechanisms other than just a rotating bezel that can be separate from the waterproofed envelope and is easy to interact with.

    It's just a "current time when I started" marker.

    I am totally not into "active wear/rugged/outdoor" style watches that wannabe "operator" types wear and those are usually more with glow in the dark bezels etc but I get the utility.

    Actual divers get a cheap digital watch and fill them with silcon oil.

    Interesting, the only diving I'm familiar with is muff diving.

    I have decided to get this watch. It can tell me the time in 15 different places at once.

    I mean glow in the dark markings on the watch. But mine needs light to kind of charge it. I like divers though because I think one with a black silicone band can go with anything. You mean something with an olive drab band or all divers?

    I'm a little annoyed by people who wear Columbia clothes when they're not camping and it's not raining. Or those hiking/combat err...shoes. That would be strike 2 on my glow appraisal too.

    Something else if you have any kind of compass as a fashion accessory I'm betting you also own a "tactical pen".
