Hello chaps, I've been MIA for a very looong time I know. Partly due to my job, partly personal, partly travelling.
Anyway, I'm now back in the field (occasionally - with the Swedish National Guard on an Infantry Insert Company) and I was wondering what kind of field watches (those of you who need to wear a field watch that is) you wear.
Back in my soldiering and police days in the 80s and 90s, I used to wear cheap battery swatches or cheap Seiko or Casio digital watches. But now I'm looking at the range of cloth armband Seiko 5 automatics for field use. My only concern is that they aren't tough enough for field work. What is the glass like? On a week long field exercise, an automatic is ideal as you don't have to worry about either battery running out or winding it up. I'm not interested in expensive designer military watches or fancy looking pseudo-military watches. All I want is a sturdy automatic that the glass isn't going to scratch or break on (which happened to me all the time in the 80s).
