what is the most commonly used watch in the military?

March 14th, 2010 | by admin |

I’m wondering what brand of watch is most used in the military among infantry personnel for toughness and durability?

Most likely a cheap timex. There is not much use for anything better, it will just get beat up or lost. I think I busted 3 or 4 watches in my 4 years. There is just no point to buying anything expensive. Most guys just need something simple with a light on it and is non reflective.

    Generally whatever was on sale at the PX.

    I learned my lesson about expensive watches my second week as a tank crewman.

    Hint: How the band is attached is more important than how tough the watch is. You really want a band that will not come off if one of the pins comes out. (Fortunately, I learned this lesson with an inexpensive watch.)

    usually a cheap watch, the chances of busting or losing your time piece are pretty high.

    A cheap Casio, usually.

    I went thru my fair share of watches in my career…ended up using a pocket watch because it wouldn’t get caught on anything.
