If you had to run to the hills because of the virus which watch would you grab?

Hello guys, hope everyone is healthy. Saturday night in quarantine and after a few drinks got me thinking, if I had to run for my life, which watch from my collection would I grab in order to help me survive for the next three months somewhere in the wilderness away from civilization?

1. Must be in your current collection. Explain why. Post a pic and include your second choice if you want.

For me I think it would be between my Pepsi or my Sub, ultimately I think the sub would win. I would miss the date though but I could keep track of the days maybe with sticks and stones like Tom Hanks in cast away.



Close second:

All of my watches would come with and other tools that would help ensure my survival.

This 1601.

It’s the only one with sentimental value that can’t be replaced.

Of all my watches, I don’t like it the most, but it’s been everywhere, done everything and deserves to be there.

More than likely my Sub, but I may also grab my 1999 Seamaster. The watch that originally started my obsession. Stay safe everyone.

I’d grab the Explorer 214270 and the G-Shock GW-5000. I can survive anything with these two.

Probably the one on my wrist when the need comes. If I have time to change watches, it’s not time to bug out. Yet. I’m more concerned with the women I end up bringing with me.

Pelagos: rugged, comfortable, lightweight, can use the lume as a flashlight.




G-Shock GW-5000: rugged, comfortable, lightweight, dead-accurate timekeeping (Multiband 6)

My Tough-Mud Solar G Shock without question.

1. Solar powered metal G-shock gmw b5000. Easy to wash, has date, gps tags, solar power, timezones, can survive a huge amount of damage and still keep working.

2. Exp I.

All other watches will be in a safe stash:)
