Per the title, I am looking for a watch without a battery that i can wear underground without too much care as it no doubt gets beaten up over time. Nothing too fancy, probably around $750USD budget.
A couple of options that I am currently looking at:
Tissot PRX 80 with black dial
Seiko 5 110th Anniversary Special Edition Watch - SRPK41K (Current leader except I am unsure about the “Hardlex Mineral Crystal Glass”)
Hamilton KHAKI FIELD MECHANICAL 42MM
There is also the Adina Automatic Underground Country Master Work Watch NK151 S2FB, but i am not really into the dial.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Question: What kind of miner are you? Do you handle tools and machineries? Are there vibrations involved in your work?
coz I do not think mechanical watch is good for physical work that involves vibrations when using tools.
I will choose G-Shock for durability. There are models with 10 years battery life so you have less concern about it
