I'd probably take my apple watch, call around for an emergency pickup, then once home, I'd put back on my Hulk.

Nice idea but then you wouldn't want to leave it on the beach if you went deep diving as you don't want it getting stolen. I saw a cat knock on a door knocker vid yesterday.

Depends, is there an AD on this Island and do they have any SS Sports models in stock?

If not, probably an Apple Watch so I can call home and get back.

Actually there is no depth a stranded person could dive to that the Sky D couldn't handle. It would be my choice as well!!! It would be the easiest way to track the date. Now if they only could track the day as well!!!

Mystro, the Breitling Emergency II with dual frequency beacon transmitter has its drawbacks though.The emergency signal will only last 18-24 hrs once activated, cannot be operated underwater ( Yes ! ) and weak signal transmission at subzero temperatures, eventually signal lost below -20°C

id take my chances with it vs a Sub. However most people here would be worried about lug overhang. Got to keep up appearances, even when stranded on an island.

I wouldn't wear it - I think its fugly. I'd hang it on a coconut tree or at the top of the mountain in the middle of the island, pull the radio activator, and then go have a fish.

My daytona. I wouldn’t want a date because once you forget where date it is it will just be wrong and depressing. Also timing could be helpful.

Cool, that leaves Maryanne for me . Of course the professor could simply build a watch out of coconuts and tortoise claws.

i would assume timing your life in 12 hour increments over and over again is more depressing than the date which the increment is twice as long

SD43 for me, maybe the Deepsea. In addition to using it for time and date you could use it as a mini weapon.

Plus the SD43 or dblue would likely be heavy enough to stun some wildlife when foraging for food

man... Pretty much everyone seems to be resigned to the fact you are staying on the island forever. Exit plan people.

There is only one watch
