Luminox 3000 series.
Thanks for all the recommendations, guys. Does anyone have any experience with the original Eco Drive I posted/any Eco Drives? If it's tough enough to handle hard core abuse I'll probably be going with that one.
Indeed. I have a Seiko 200 meter dive watch I bought 30 years ago, as a graduation present to myself from grunt school. I've replaced the band twice, the battery maybe 6 or 7 times, and it still keeps great time. Lots of fun stuff that watch survived.
I have a Sunnto Military Core and Casio Solar Atomic G-Shock as well, plus a Citizen Eco Drive chronograph, just a fancier version of the Military.
Honestly, they are all good. But if I know I am going to get the watch beat to crap that day, I wear the Casio. It survived 3 weeks underwater, in a store destroyed by hurricane Katrina. If it survived that, I doubt I'll kill it with anything less than a 30-06.
Suunto Vector or Core military versions
I paid about $30 for my G-Shock on Amazon, that's a pretty good deal. Sure there are other better (and more expensive) watches out there, but for a robust everyday watch that has a countdown and stopwatch feature it's a decent price.
If not me, then who?
There's a Maratac Pilot Automatic for one hundred and ninety five dollars.
Hope you find what you're looking for and Enjoy!
